- Description
- 1. PR Number: 2. Description of Action: Furnish necessary expertise, supplies and materials to conduct and inspection, evaluate and design the temporary and permanent repairs for Penstock No. 4 at Amistad Dam to resolve the problems with the three penstock gates (bulkhead, head, and irrigation) that are stuck in the open position. Nature: þ New Requirement Follow-on Requirement Pricing: þ Firm-Fixed Price Time & Materials Cost The total estimated value of the proposed action is $ 227,430.00 Name of Proposed Contractor: US Army Corps of Engineers, Southwestern Region Street Address: 1645 South 101 East Ave City, State, Zip: Tulsa, OK 74128-4629 Phone: 918-669-7654 3. Description of Services or Supplies: Expert professional services and equipment required to assess the jammed gates of Penstocks No. 4 at Amistad Dam, and develop solution, effecting temporary repairs as needed to control the flow of water from the dam. The services include no more than five engineers (structural, mechanical and civil), as well as any necessary subconsultants to dive and provide underwater images of the damaged gates. Permanent design and construction specifications are also required. Quality assurance during the separate construction contract (to be issued by USIBWC) is also part of the work. 4. Authority: (select one) þ FAR 6.302-2 Unusual and compelling urgency. Citation 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(2) 5. Reasons for Authority Cited: Three gates for Penstocks No. 4 at Amistad Dam are jammed and do not close to shut down water flow through the penstocks. An uncontrollable flow of approximately 60 cubic meters per second of water is escaping through the damaged gates in the Penstocks No. 4. Both potential consequences of unchecked water flows and exacerbated drought conditions make this a critical impact to loss of property and vegetation as well as irrigation needs. 6. Actions to Increase Competition: None - exigency. Conduct under existing interagency agreement (IA) IBM 92-21 with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) with a new Individual Work Order (IWO) 7. Market Research: USACE provides expertise required by treaty in the joint inspection (Mexico and the United States) of the Amistad Dam under the five-year safety of dams program. USACE just completed the Amistad Dam Safety Modifications Study and risk management recommendations for Amistad. Penstock No. 4 was identified as in need of critical repairs. Now that it is damaged and jammed, USACE is the only source immediately familiar with the dam, its design, as well as temporary repairs and provide specifications and plant for the permanent construction repair project. Furthermore, USACE is the best source for quality assurance during the construction for a permanent repair. 8. Procurement History: Previous Purchase Order(s) or Contract(s): þ Yes No If "Yes", for each purchase order or contract provide: Purchase order or contract number: IBM 92-21 | IBM11W0023 Was action competed? Yes þ No
