The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District wants a contractor to replace the Navigation Lock 1 bridge at Bonneville Lock and Dam near Cascade Locks, Oregon, with a new single-span steel girder bridge and partially demolish the old one. It is a total small business set-aside. The existing bridge must stay open to traffic throughout construction, and in-water work is limited to permitted seasonal windows (2029 and 2030 mentioned).
Watch out for
- Bridge must stay open during construction. Phased construction around live traffic adds cost, scheduling and traffic control complexity.
The existing bridge provides for critical vehicular access to the Bonneville project that must remain open for the entirety of the construction project.
- In-water work limited by permits. Marine mammal protections and seasonal in-water work windows restrict when work can be done, and no in-water work is allowed beyond the permit years.
No in water work, that is governed by IHA, will be allowed beyond the IHA permit years allowed.
- Barge crane lifts near high voltage line. Crane work close to a power line is a major safety and planning risk.
barge crane lifting will be required in close proximity to a high voltage power line
- Lead and asbestos removal. Hazardous material abatement needs licensed workers and disposal plans.
lead and asbestos removal will be required as part of this requirement
- Specialized work and monitoring. Ground anchors, jet grouting, drilled shafts and a professional archaeological monitor require specialty subs or qualifications.
Section 31 73 20.00 99 – JET GROUTING, Part 1 GENERAL, Paragraph 1.7.1 Qualifications are changed
- Many amendments. Five amendments have changed specs and dates; missing one could make your bid non-compliant.
