Plates, McN, Barbara.A.Hackett@usace.army.mil. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, has a competitive requirement for all labor, material, equipment, and plant to fabricate and install new perforated plates on extended length submerged bar screens (ESBS) at McNary Dam, Umatilla County, Oregon. Requirement originally synopsized in CBD March 1, 2000. Synopsis of April 3, 2000 postponed the requirement. Requirement is now active again. All installation work at the project site will be performed in the dry. There will be no underwater diving work. Perforated plates vary in size from approximately 4 feet by 5 feet to 1 foot by 5 feet in outside dimension. Plates are one-fourth (1/4)-inch thick steel, with 1-inch diameter holes placed in a specific pattern. Holes have tapered sides, with hole diameter 1-inch on one face of the plate and approximately 1-1/4th inch on the opposite face. Steel angles and backing bars are welded to the plates for stiffness and to allow bolting of the plates to the ESBS structures. There are 29 perforated plates on each ESBS and 43 ESBSs which require new plates. A total of 1,189 perforated plates will be required. All plates, angles, and backing bars will be stainless steel. The existing plates must be removed before new ones are installed. Approximately 14,000 stainless steel cap screws, 7/8 9 UNC 2A x 2-1/2-inch long, hex heads are required to attach perforated plates to ESBSs. Miscellaneous stainless steel and carbon steel fabricated items and stainless steel cap screws will also be required. The intention is for contractor to complete fabrication and installation of perforated plates on two (2) ESBSs. The Government is currently evaluating similar plates and will make a determination in late summer or early fall whether to award the optional item for fabrication and installation of perforated plates on the remaining 39 ESBSs. Contract completion, if optional item awarded shall be 360 calendar days after contract award. Transportation costs f.o.b. destination. PROCUREMENT UNRESTRICTED.
