Repair Anchorage Bar Assemblies

Performance Work Statement - SCOPE OF WORK: REFURBISH SIX (6) ANCHORAGE BAR ASSEMBLIES (w/ Options). *Note: New gudgeon pin bushings for each assembly, will be provided by the Government. A. Transport six anchorage bars from the Mississippi River Project Office (MRPO) - Service Base in Pleasant Valley, IA to the vendor's facility. B. Disassemble the seized 6 inch diameter threaded eye-bars from the sleeve nut. Note - care must be taken by the vendor to ensure that the method of disassembly shall not cause the physical integrity of the bars or nuts of each assembly to be weakened or compromised by bending, twisting, or overheating of the steel members. *Note - care shall be take not to overheat metal surfaces to more than dull gray. C. REFURBISHMENT OF THREADED PORTIONS OF THE ASSEMBLY 1) Clean and inspect the threaded ends of bars and sleeve nuts. 2) Dye penetrant test (PT) the threaded ends of the bars and sleeve nuts to inspect for base metal discontinuities such as cracks. Inspect in accordance with (IAW) Reference "A" (AASHTO/AWS D1.5M/D1.5:2010 Bridge Welding Code, 6th Edition). Before proceeding to subsequent steps, provide inspection reports to the Contracting Officer or Government representative. 3) Weld build-up and re-machine (as necessary) any damaged threads on the bars or sleeve nuts IAW Reference "A" (AASHTO/AWS D1.5M/D1.5:2010 Bridge Welding Code, 6th Edition) and enclosed Contract Reference Drawings. 4) Post weld / machining dye penetrant (PT) inspection. Conduct PT inspection of all areas welded and/or machined IAW Reference "A" (AASHTO/AWS D1.5M/D1.5:2010 Bridge Welding Code, 6th Edition) and enclosed Contract Reference Drawings. Before proceeding to subsequent steps, provide inspection reports to the Contracting Officer or Government representative. D. REFURBISHMENT OF EYELET PORTIONS OF THE ASSEMBLY 1) Clean and inspect eyelets of each anchorage bar assembly. 2) Non-destructive / Dye penetrant test (PT) the threaded ends of the bars and nuts for base metal discontinuities such as cracks in accordance with Reference "A" (AASHTO/AWS D1.5M/D1.5:2010 Bridge Welding Code, 6th Edition) and enclosed Contract Reference Drawings. Before proceeding to subsequent steps, provide inspection reports to the Contracting Officer or Government representative. 3) Weld build-up and re-machine (as necessary) damaged eyelets to dimensional requirements IAW Reference "A" (AASHTO/AWS D1.5M/D1.5:2010 Bridge Welding Code, 6th Edition). 4) Post weld / machining dye penetrant (PT) inspection. Conduct PT inspection of all areas welded and/or machined IAW Reference "A" (AASHTO/AWS D1.5M/D1.5:2010 Bridge Welding Code, 6th Edition) and enclosed Contract Reference Drawings.

The coating system shall be a spray-applied vinyl paint system equivalent to USACE 5-E-Z system, with the final coat gray in color. All painting shall be performed in accordance with SSPC-PA 1. The base metal shall be blasted to white metal prior to paint application in accordance with SSPC-SP 5. The first coat shall be a zinc-rich vinyl primer. The total dry thickness of the completed system shall average a minimum of 7.0 mils, and the minimum thickness at any point shall be 5.5 mils. Dry film thickness shall be verified in accordance with ASTM D7091 and documented by the contractor. The contract reference drawings indicate areas that should be masked off during painting to allow future welding by others. Mask off rear anchorage pin bore. F. Lubricate threads with anti-seize grease prior to final assembly. *Note - Recoating the threads with electrodeposted cadmium will NOT be required, as shown in the drawing. G. Assemble all anchorage bar components, including bushings and associated hardware, to dimensional requirements as shown in the contract reference drawings prior to shipment. H. Packaging and Delivery: The contractor will provide all packaging and shipping. Refurbished assemblies shall be delivered in protective wrap to avoid damage to exposed threaded portions. The contractor shall provide wooden blocking to stack the assemblies for both transporting and staging locations. Approximate weight of each assembly is 1,800 to 2,000 pounds.
