The New Bedford Hurricane Barrier was completed in 1966 at a cost of over $18 million.� This structure protects about 1,400 acres in New Bedford, Fairhaven and Acushnet from tidal flooding associated with hurricanes and coastal storms.� The Barrier consists of a 152 ft wide central gated channel with earth fill dikes with stone slope protection extending back on both sides, the Clarks Cove Dike in New Bedford, and the Fairhaven Dike. The Barrier includes two 52 ft tall sector gates that close off the channel during potential high-water events.� Normally, the two sector gates are stored in a retracted position inside of gate pockets, leaving the central channel open for boat traffic.� Sediment and debris accumulate in the gate pockets, causing the movement of the gates to be impeded.� Additionally, the steel wheels that the gates rest on become flattened over time and need to be replaced. This project consists of the following Scope: Dewatering of each sector gate (one at a time) by placing government furnished bulkheads and pumping out the water within the gate pockets. Placing bulkheads involves transferring the 9ft x 11ft steel bulkheads from the dike adjacent to the west sector gate onto a barge, moving the barge to the sector gate, and lowering the bulkheads into place via barge mounted crane.� Jacking the sector gates and replacing the wheels that the gates rest on Removal of accumulated sediment inside the gate pocket Painting of one horizontal truss on each gate Painting of the water line area of the skin plate Interested firms should submit a capabilities package to include the following: business classification (i.e. HUBZone, etc.) as well as qualifications and experience in performing the work components stated above.

Torres at sara.j.torres@usace.army.mil.� Responses are limited to twenty-five pages.� The Government will not pay for any material provided in response to this market survey nor return the data provided.� This notice is for information purposes only and is not a request to be placed on a solicitation mailing list nor is it a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an announcement of a solicitation.� The results of this survey will be considered to be in effect for a period of one year from the date of this notice.�
