Y -- TABLE ROCK LAKE NEW AUXILIARY GATED SPILLWAY (PHASE II), TABLE ROCK DAM, TANEY & STONE COUNTIES, MISSOURI DUE 020400 POC Mr. Darrel L. Johnson (501) 324-5010, E-mail: darrel.l.johnson@swl02.usace.army.mil WEB: none, none. E-MAIL: none, darrel.l.johnson@swl02.usace.army.mil. The Little Rock District, Corps of Engineers (LRD, COE), Little Rock, Arkansas, is seeking construction contractors that are able to execute the following construction project: The proposed construction work is the second phase of a new auxiliary gated spillway through an existing embankment dam. This new spillway is needed to correct an existing hydrologic deficiency at Table Rock Lake. Phase I consisted of site clearing, substantial rock excavation (to get the surfaces down to finished grade), grouting, and a large part of the embankment construction. Phase II construction will consist of building a new eight bay concrete dam on the surfaces prepared under the Phase I contract. This new dam will have eight structural steel tainter (radial) gates, which will be operated by hydraulic cylinders. All mechanical and electrical systems (including a control house and machinery) needed to operate the new gates are included in the Phase II contract. A new monorail mounted bulkhead system is also included to allow dewatering of each gate bay. Completion of the earthen embankment, construction of a new highway bridge atop the dam, and construction of a new roadway atop the entire new embankment are also a part of this contract. A small amount of grouting will be necessary along the contact surface between the new dam and the existing rock. Significant rock excavation (both above and below water) will also be required in the approach channel. Precision blasting will be required due to the proximity of the work to an existing dam, a busy state highway, and a luxury hotel. The city of Branson, Missouri, is located six miles downstream and a dam failure could result in loss of life and property damage in excess of $500 million. This rock will be used to construct a large cut-off dike in the vicinity of the dam as well as to construct a finger for a new beach area. Also, because this area is highly visible to tourists, it is expected that substantial emphasis will be placed on the public relations aspects of the project. Substantial effort in traffic control is expected. The estimated cost is between $25,000,000.00 and $100,000,000.00 -- for a Firm Fixed Price Contract -- project duration is approximately 1,400+ calendar days. The Standard Industrial Code is 1629 and the annual size standard is $17 million. General Contractors should respond in writing no later than 4 February 2000. The written response shall provide the following information: bonding limitation, capacity, and current availability, the firm's dollar limit for bid guarantee/performance guarantee capacity, ability to obtain property damage liability insurance of $1,000,000.00, size status (whether a LB, SB, SDB, 8(a), or Women Owned business), provide a minimum of three references with same or similar type work that is currently in progress, or that has been successfully completed. Lack of detailed responses to the above requested information may result in the action being issued unrestricted. This Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought (SS) Notice is for information and planning purposes only, and shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal, announcement of a solicitation, or other obligation on the part of the LRD, COE. The LRD, COE will not award a contract on the basis of responses to this RFI/SS nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted. Questions of a technical nature may be directed to Mr. Darrel L. Johnson at (501) 324-5010, FAX (501)324-5196, or via e-mail at darrel.l.johnson@swl02.usace.army.mil. Posted 01/06/00 (W-SN413911).
