Background
The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (GLS) is a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation within the U.S. Department of Transportation, responsible for operating and maintaining the portion of the St. Lawrence Seaway in U.S. territorial waters between Lake Ontario and Montreal, Quebec.

A critical part of GLS's mission is to facilitate the safe and efficient passage of commercial vessels through the Seaway, which includes the operation and maintenance of Eisenhower and Snell Locks located in Massena, New York. The contract aims to replace stainless-steel hydraulic piping at the Vertical Lift Gate, essential for operations during a Miter Gate failure.

Work Details
The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to remove and replace stainless-steel hydraulic piping servicing the Vertical Lift Gate at Eisenhower Lock.

The existing piping is currently installed with carbon steel flanges that have corroded due to environmental conditions. The work will require access to a confined space beneath removable covers, necessitating dewatering for access.

All work requiring system shutdown must be performed during GLS's annual winter work shutdown period from January 12, 2026, to March 13, 2026. Contractors may access the site prior to this shutdown to verify existing conditions and document as-built dimensions before system isolation.

Period of Performance
The contractor shall begin performance on or about December 2, 2025, and complete all work within sixty (60) calendar days after receiving notice to proceed.

Place of Performance
Eisenhower Lock, 190A Barnhart Island Road, Massena, NY 13662.
