AI Contract Overview

The Bureau of Reclamation at Hoover Dam in Boulder City, Nevada, plans to negotiate a sole source contract with Applied Analysis & Technology of Huntington Beach, California, for mechanical and metallurgical engineering consulting services. These services pertain to the redesign of the theater turntable caster assemblies at the Hoover Dam Visitor Center, which has experienced significant operational failures. Since its completion in May 199X, at least 13 of the 61 caster assemblies have failed, resulting in substantial downtime. The existing design defects, acknowledged by both the government and the original construction contractor, have not been remedied beyond monetary damages, prompting the need for a complete redesign to ensure reliable long-term operation and minimize visitor service interruptions. The objective of this procurement is to fully replace all 61 caster assemblies under the turntable, restoring the facility’s functionality and supporting ongoing visitor services, as visitors no longer have access to the dam or power plant itself. The procurement will follow Simplified Acquisition procedures, with the contract award anticipated by February 15, 2002. Interested contractors must demonstrate their capability to perform the required work and submit quotes by 4:00 P.M. PST on February 13, 2002. Responses should be directed to the Bureau of Reclamation in Boulder City, with submission options including mail or facsimile. This effort highlights the urgency of returning the theater turntable to reliable service, maintaining the quality of the visitor experience at the Hoover Dam Visitor Center.
