Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District, is conducting a Sources Sought to identify qualified construction contractors for the Whitney Point Regulating Outlet (RO) Rehabilitation project in Broome County, New York. This project involves significant repairs and upgrades to the nearly 80-year-old RO system. The estimated magnitude of this construction project is between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000. Responses are due by April 7, 2026, at 11:00 A.M. EST.
Scope of Work
The project's primary goal is to enhance the safety, functionality, and reliability of the Whitney Point RO. This will be achieved by demolishing and replacing the existing hoisted-gate assemblies, which include electrical, mechanical, and structural components. The rehabilitation aims to restore the aging system for a 100-year service life. Key components to be fabricated and installed include:
- One new bulkhead
- Three new service regulating outlet (RO) gates
- Three new emergency RO gates
- 15 individual trashracks
- One new overhead bulkhead crane and structure
- New trashrack lifting beam, service RO gate hoists, and emergency RO gate hoists
- New machinery skids, standby diesel generator, and Dam Secondary Distribution Panel (DSDP)
- New gate hoist receptacles, plugs, assemblies, panel heaters, motor winding heaters, RO gate controls, exposed steel conduits, exterior lighting, and convenience receptacles. The work also involves surveying existing slot conditions, potential concrete rehabilitation, and debris removal.
