ACQUISITION INFORMATION: Agency: United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Savannah District (SAS) NAICS: Primary NAICS is still under consideration. Poposed NAICS is 221310 - Water Supply and Irrigation Systems, 237990 Marine Construction, or 541330 - Engineering Services. Acquistion Method: Two-Phase Design Build Selection Process Principle Place of Performance: Elbert County, GA and Abbeville County, SC Project Summary: The RBR Oxygen Diffuser System's purpose is to provide 5 mg/l of DO in all generation releases from RBR Dam. The Richard B. Russell Oxygen Diffuser System was installed in 2001 and consists of 10 diffuser lines with a total system diffuser length of approximately 40,000 feet and a total system capacity of 200 tons (3,000 scfm) per day. Each existing diffuser line is approximately 4,000 feet long in 150 feet of water suspended approximately 12 feet off channel bottom. The system has been degraded and consists of broken sections of soaker hose resulting in significant leaks which decrease the oxygen transfer efficiency of the system. System hardware, including anchoring hardware, has also aged to the point of requiring replacement. Two of the ten lines (lines 2 and 6) are inoperable. The oxygen supply and buoyancy piping are exposed and tangled at the point of entry into the reservoir resulting in a boater hazard and exposing piping to potential boat and UV damage. This contract will replace the existing ten diffusers with diffusers of equal capacity, restore and improve system efficiencies, and protect the diffuser piping at the point of reservoir entry.
