Z--SITE VISIT ONLY - Arrowrock Dam - Sluice Outlet Plugs - Boise Project, Idaho

The Bureau of Reclamation intends to issue a solicitation in June 2009 for plugging five sluice outlets within Arrowrock Dam. The principal components of the work include removal and control of water; removing existing cast iron sluice outlet liners; designing, furnishing, and installing watertight bulkheads and frames for installation adjacent to existing sluice gates; furnishing and placing cast-in-place concrete for sluice outlet plugs; and pressure grouting and backfill grouting. When the solicitation is completed and is ready to issue, the sluice gates will be under water. We are conducting a site visit now so potential offerors can inspect the site conditions before the site is under water. Onsite work will not begin until the fall of 2010. WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO ATTEND THIS SITE VISIT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COMPETING FOR THE CONTRACT WHEN THE REQUIREMENT IS SOLICITED.

We will meet at Spring Shores Marina Boat Ramp (located approximately 18 miles northeast of Boise, Idaho, on State Highway 21 - take a right turn and travel approximately 1.1 miles east on Arrowrock Dam Road) and carpool to the dam as necessary to reduce congestion at the dam.
