FEMA issued USACE the mission assignment for power grid restoration on September 29, 2017, with an end date of March 19, 2018, set in amendment 3. It was not until March 16, 2018, that FEMA extended the end date of the mission assignment to May 18, 2018, via amendment 5. Due to the recently extended end date, USACE is now anticipating an additional mission assignment to fund the scope of work contained in this synopsis.

Transmission and subtransmission work includes specialized crews to work on 230 kv, 115 kv tying in to 38 kv lines. This work includes lattice tower and other special framing placement. 3. Helicopter assistance will be required on most circuits for tower or pole placement, line pulling, placement and tensioning, and long-lining the workers into the remote areas. 4. Heavy equipment operators are required for associated crane, bucket, line tensioning, line pulling, digger work, etc. There must be associated line damage assessors, environmental assessors, and traffic control personnel as part of the team as well. The contractor shall have all safety and operational training completed as well as utilize the Corps Resident Management System to report contract requirements and status as work progresses. All equipment and personnel shall be fully mobilized no later than April 7, 2018. The contractor shall be ready to receive all line assignments no later than April 7, 2018 such that all current and new work assignments will start to be executed no later than April 8, 2018.
