Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, W071 ENDIST SEATTLE, is soliciting proposals for the rental of water weight and water pumping equipment for crane load testing at Albeni Falls Dam (AFD) in Oldtown, ID. This requirement is set aside for Total Small Businesses. The latest Amendment 0004 has extended the proposal submission deadline to May 27, 2026, and revised the Period of Performance.
Scope of Work
This opportunity requires the rental of equipment for a 5-day period to conduct crane load testing, with a total test load of 100 US tons (50T per load block). Key equipment includes four 35T capacity water bags, two 200 GPM water pumps, shackles, master links, flow meters, a multi-manifold, and two calibrated load cells. All equipment must be certified, in good working order, and free of invasive species and pollutants. The contractor is responsible for providing written instructions, drawings, and diagrams for safe use. Amendment 0003 clarified that the maximum vertical distance from the spillway deck to the PINS of the main hoist load blocks is 30 feet, and the center-to-center spacing of the load blocks is 30 feet, noting the use of pins instead of hooks. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) has been updated to reflect changes due to an outage at Albeni Falls Dam.
