- Construction Project entitled McNary Potable Water Distribution System. This will be a firm fixed-price construct contract located at McNary Lock and Dam (Umatilla County, Oregon). Estimated construction magnitude is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000; and 100% performance and payment bonds will be required. The period of performance is anticipated to be 650 days after receipt of notice to proceed. DESCRIPTION OF WORK: Upgrade the existing McNary Dam Potable Water Distribution System to supply potable water to the McNary Dam Powerhouse, Warehouse Area, and West Park, in accordance with USACE plans and specifications. The existing potable water system shall continue to operate during the construction upgrades and remain on-line until testing and commissioning of the upgraded system are completed. The new water distribution system construction effort shall include: Liquid chlorination system Pipe trench excavations and underground boring for railroad and roadway locations for the new potable water distribution pipelines; Site preparation for a new potable water (concrete reinforced) storage tank with chain link security fencing around it and a rip rap overflow ditch outfall section starting at the end of the water tank drainage pipe; Valves and valve groups subsurface enclosures (concrete manholes); Fire hydrant procurements and placements with protection bollards; Underground fiber optic cable procurement and placement from the new water tank to just outside the Powerhouse; Demolition of some existing valve groups piping during the construction phase to upgrade the water distribution system; and Demolition of the old water tank after de-commissioning of the old water distribution system. A new potable water pipeline shall be fed from an existing common tie-in point between two well houses. Demolish some of the old pipeline locations. Run a new pipeline between the chlorination building and the new concrete water tank. From the new water tank, install two water supply pipelines: one pipeline to tie into an existing pipeline that will supply potable water to the Powerhouse and the other pipeline to supply potable water to the Warehouse Area and West Park. The Warehouse Area shall have a water distribution loop within it and a water supply pipe line from the loop to feed West Park. The water distribution loop shall require tie-in connections to provide potable water to existing buildings within the Warehouse Area. This warehouse distribution loop pipeline shall also have an emergency back-up supply line (cross tie-in pipeline) between the water distribution loop pipeline and the dedicated powerhouse water pipeline. The new fire hydrant locations are within the water distribution loop to provide exterior points of water supply for fire suppression. Electrical power shall be provided from an existing valve group to both the new water tank and the new adjacent valve group room, providing power within the new adjacent valve group room and the roof of the new water tank. Electrical equipment shall be provided such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), Ethernet switches, Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) and Fiber Optic Patch Panels for both the new adjacent water tank valve group room and a well house. Requirements during construction include the presence of a Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO), who shall be assigned no other duties during the duration of this construction contract, and a Contractor Quality Control Manager (CQC) on site at all times when work is performed. The SSHO is required to have 30 hour OSHA training and the CQC will be required to have taken the USACE course titled, Construction Quality Management for Contractors.
