What this contract is for

This Request For Information Notice is intended to garner industry input for questions regarding Roller Gate Fabrication for the Winfiled Lock and Dam Located in Red House, West Virgina. Interested Contractors are encouraged to reply to the following questions after reviewing the Attached Technical Drawings: 1. Can the skin plate splices be performed using submerged arc welding? 2. Economies of scale: Are there significant efficiencies related to fabrication of 1 gate v 2 gates v 3 gates, etc. 3. Not grinding skin plate welds—What is the time and labor savings? Would not staggering skin plate splices increase efficiency/benefit fabrication? Note that splice welds would still be required to be ground flush at the intersections of longitudinal and transverse splice welds a minimum of 4” in all directions. 4. What factors do you consider when doing 100% RT on this quantity of welds? Shutting down shop? How is this cost factored in? What is the production rate? Cost per test? 5. Would a design featuring multiple pieces (2-4) with transverse gate splice(s) benefit fabrication? Would you prefer this splice be welded or bolted using slip critical bolted connection. Note that full assembly would be required at the shop prior to shipment for a full shop fit assembly. 6. Would a design featuring bolted on end shields and/or apron benefit fabrication/increase efficiency? 7. Would you be more or less likely to bid if this was a Construction Contractor (i.e. working with a prime contractor to install) vs a supply fabrication contract. 8. What can USACE do to reduce risk/contingency in bidding a project like this? 9. Are there connections that would be more cost efficient bolted instead of welded? Would it be more cost efficient to weld, or use slip critical bolts to connect splices...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
