The contract solicitation W91237-26-Q-A058 seeks qualified small businesses to perform the removal and replacement of the trash screens on the main chamber emergency gate at the Racine Locks and Dam. This project involves the complete extraction of existing trash screens and installation of new ones, requiring specialized expertise in aquatic infrastructure maintenance and heavy equipment operation within a controlled water environment. The work must comply with stringent safety, environmental, and operational standards, as the facility remains active during the replacement process with potential disruptions to lock operations and water flow. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, exclusively open to businesses certified as small by the SBA, with the assigned NAICS code 532412 for construction machinery and equipment rental. All proposals must be submitted via the PIEE system before the deadline of July 15, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, and offerors are required to carefully review all solicitation attachments and instructions to ensure compliance with technical specifications, schedule constraints, and performance requirements. The primary point of contact for questions is Carrie McClung, with Bret Foley as secondary contact, both reachable through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office in Huntington, West Virginia. The work will be performed at Racine, West Virginia, with a zip code of 25253, and contractors must coordinate logistics, transportation, and workforce mobilization for this remote location. Proposals should address not only technical capabilities but also past performance in similar lock and dam maintenance projects, worker safety protocols, and environmental mitigation measures to support the Department of Defense’s mission to maintain critical waterway infrastructure.
