The plans and technical specifications for this requirement will only be available upon solicitation issuance. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: USACE anticipates a base with one (1) option; firm fixed-price construction contract to accomplish the following work at Wheeler Lock and Dam: 1) Access by water. Most work will be located at Tennessee River Mile (TRM) 275.7 and 275.8 immediately upstream of the dam. The only access to provide equipment and materials to this worksite will be by water or across the channel for the lock's upper approach. 2) Government furnished property. Sheet piles will be Government furnished and are stored at the Barkley Lock & Dam Storage Yard (NAD 83 & NAVD 88 - E: 917030.8, N: 1898736.0). All other materials shall be provided by the contractor. The contractor will be responsible for pick up and transporting all sheet piles specified without damage. A crane may be necessary to move sheet piles closer to or onto the floating barge. No spreader bar or cellular sheet pile template will be provided and will be the responsibility of the contractor. 3) Mooring Cell #1 Construction. The new mooring cell will be 40.5 ft Diameter by approximately 65 ft height located at TRM 275.7. Approximately 40 feet of water and 8 feet of overburden until weather and fractured rock is expected.

After the sheet piles have all been driven a diver must inspect the sheet piles for any interlock concerns. An inspection shall be made of each cell location within the Wheeler locations. A concrete seal shall then be placed above the overburden. Once the concrete has adequately cured, the remaining height of the cell shall be filled with aggregate.
