Lower Granite Dam Fish Barge Moorage

Set-Aside 100% for eligible 8(a) firms in the states of Washington and Idaho. Construction Project: This project involves construction of a new moorage facility and mooring dolphin at Lower Granite Dam in Whitman County, Washington. The new moorage facility will be a reinforced concrete wharf approximately 300 feet in length and 40 feet in width. The wharf will be fabricated using a combination of cast-in-place and precast concrete. The wharf structure will consist of precast cap beams and precast slabs set on top of 4.5-foot diameter reinforced concrete drilled shafts, approximately 40-feet in length. A cast-in-place topping slab and in-fill will tie the drilled shafts, cap beams, and precast slabs together. At least one floating plant and drill rig will be required for installation of the drilled shafts. The mooring dolphin will consist of a 15-foot diameter concrete shaft, approximately 40 feet in length, drilled and anchored approximately 20 feet into bedrock. The mooring dolphin will have a permanent steel casing, mooring cleats, fender system, and a cast-in-place top slab. Other work includes excavation, trenching for utilities, asphalt repair, installation of fender systems, mooring cleats, mooring bits, potable water lines, compressed air lines, electrical receptacles, area lighting, traffic bollards, and fabrication of a movable access stairway. The in-water work period is expected to run from December 15, 2012 through 28 February 2013. Drilled shaft and mooring dolphin installation must be completed within the in-water work period. All other onsite work must be completed no later than 360 calendar days after the Contractor's receipt of Notice to Proceed.
