- Description
- This is a Sources Sought Notice. This Sources Sought neither constitutes a Request for Proposal, nor does it restrict the Government to an ultimate acquisition approach. This Sources Sought should not be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose. Requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. This Sources Sought Notice is in support of a market survey being conducted by the St. Louis District, Corps of Engineers to identify interested Contractors within the Regional area for the Scope of Work listed below. The following are general capabilities required to perform the Scope of Work according to USACE standards. The Contractor must have the capabilities to perform the Scope of Work listed below. General Project Description: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Lock and Dam 24 located in Clarksville, MO and Lock and Dam 25 located in Winfield, MO each utilize service bridge cranes to facilitate maintenance. The cranes were originally installed in the early 1940s. They each contain two separate lifting devices; a traditional boom type pedestal crane and a frame mounted bulkhead hoist. The pedestal crane sits on top of the main crane truck frame that travels on rails across the top of the dam via the service bridge and is used to support routine maintenance and place the downstream Tainter gate bulkheads. The bulkhead hoist is used to pick up the upstream emergency Tainter gate and roller gate bulkheads and consists of a single winch powering two wire drums that are mounted to cantilever lifting arms. The bulkhead hoists were designed and built to meet or exceed the requirements of the performance specification required by the original crane supply contract. This contract was used to procure multiple similar service bridge cranes 70+ years ago. The bulkhead hoist lifting capacity required by the original supply contract was 82,000 lbs at LD 25 and 78,000 lbs at LD 24. Due to changing site conditions, the lifting capacity required of the bridge cranes has changed since the initial installation. It is required that the pedestal crane have a capacity of no less than 12 kips at a radius of 70 ft. The bulkhead hoists shall have a vertical lifting capacity of no less than 160 kips and a horizontal racking span of 24 inches. A.) Work Statement - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: The pending work required consists of furnishing all labor, floating plant, equipment and materials to decommission the existing bridge machinery and replace with updated equipment meeting current requirements. In addition to procurement of a new diesel powered pedestal crane (which may be of hydraulic or lattice boom design), the Contractor will be responsible for fabrication of a new rail truck as the working platform for both lifting devices. The new rail truck shall be designed to fit the loading and functional requirements of the lifting devices to be installed. The vertical hoisting system shall be designed in such a manner that it may be electrically powered by the existing bridge power or a backup standalone diesel generator mounted to the rail truck. B.) Capability Statements: Note: Under capability statements below, in addition to listing general experience, specifically include a listing of any US Army Corps of Engineers or other federal projects on which you demonstrated the required capability, including large equipment projects. 1. Please provide (3) projects with the same or similar work described in Sources Sought that your company has performed. Describe past work experience showing combinations of the areas listed below. Also include the project's contact information. (Name, telephone number and email address with each project) Areas of work involving characteristics that are similar to the types of work described herein: a. Specific-use crane installations requiring post-manufacture design and fabrication to meet customer requirements. b. Coordination and communication with customers on heavy equipment projects to ensure customer requirements are being met throughout the project lifecycle. c. Lock and Dam heavy equipment installations and repair utilizing floating plant (i.e. barge mounted cranes, deck barges, tugs, etc.) capabilities to support work performed. d. Disassembly and removal of heavy equipment from dams and/or bridges utilizing floating plant. e. Commissioning of heavy-lift assets in a marine environment. C.)
