REHABILITATE SERVICE GATES, WAURIKA LAKE, OK

Solicitation W912BV-11-R-0043 is a 100 percent HUBZone set-aside procurement issued by the Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Tulsa District, for the rehabilitation of two service gates at Waurika Lake, Oklahoma. With an estimated cost range between 500,000 and 1 million dollars, the project involves the removal, surface preparation to SSPC SP5 standards, painting, and reinstallation of the gates. The scope of work includes strict adherence to EM-385-1-1 safety standards, the implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan in accordance with General Permit OKR10, and the execution of a detailed crane placement plan involving specific concrete mix and reinforcement standards. The procurement process included several amendments to refine the bid schedule and technical specifications. Key updates confirmed that lead paint levels were within legal limits based on environmental chemistry analysis, though options for lead-based paint abatement remained part of the proposal. The final bid structure consists of a base bid for the two service gates and several optional tasks, including work on a low flow sluice gate, conduit liners, and emergency gate spot painting. Technical guidance for the project is supported by final design drawings, structural specifications, and previous inspection reports evaluating the condition of the Waurika Lake embankment, spillway, and service bridge.
