- Description
- Seeking potential qualified firms to fabricate and Deliver two (2), metal navigation lock valve bulkheads. Each bulkhead will be constructed with A-36 and A-992 Grade 50 steel and will be 13'-9 quote mark by 13'-10 quote mark and each will weigh about 13,000 pounds. Fabrication, welding, and painting are required. The contractor will be responsible for all, supervision, labor, plant, equipment, materials, supplies and all other things necessary for the fabrication, and delivery of the bulkheads. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, anticipates a future procurement in fiscal year 2015 for the fabrication and delivery of a number of complete anchorage assemblies plus options to acquire addition assemblies. This future requirement for procurement will be for approximately 22 assemblies plus additional assemblies as options. There are 5 different types of anchorage assemblies to accommodate the different requirements of the various locks. The assemblies will be shipped to two separate locations to be received by the Corps. Forging, fabrication, machining, welding, and painting are required. The contractor will be responsible for all, supervision, labor, plant, equipment, materials, supplies and all other things necessary for the fabrication, and delivery of the anchorage assemblies. The contractor will fabricate and machine all the components for each type of anchorage assembly. General - The anchorage assembly consists of a cast forging hub plate that will accommodate a large gudgeon pin that will act as the upper hinge for the miter gate. The hub plate is anchored into the lock chamber walls by two cast forged anchor links that are attached to the hub and wall structure by connector and anchor pins, with the hub plate connection utilizing pins with spherical bushings. The anchor links are comprised of two haves that are joined by a large adjustment nut held in place by smaller jam nuts. A complete assembly will include the hub plate, gudgeon pin and bushing, 2 complete anchor links with their respective spherical bushings and connector pins, anchor pins and bushings, adjustment and jam nuts, and all keeper bars for the pins. The Government will arrange for off-loading the assemblies from the Contractor's transport vehicle. The Contractor will deliver a number of assemblies to the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Project Maintenance facility in Columbus, MS and a number of the assemblies to the Black Warrior/Tombigbee Maintenance facility in Tuscaloosa, AL. The Contractor will deliver the bulkheads to the Demopolis Lock and Dam located near Demopolis Alabama. The contract will allow fifteen months for the fabrication and delivery of the described components and will allow nine months for the fabrication and delivery of bulkheads.
