LWSC Small Lock Emergency Closure System   3

This Synopsis/Pre-Solicitation Notice is ONLY A NOTIFICATION that a solicitation is anticipated and forthcoming. All questions regarding this Synopsis/Pre-Solicitation should be submitted in writing to the Point of Contact(s) indicated below. Construction Project: The magnitude of construction is estimated to be between $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. The resulting contract will be firm-fixed-price.

The purpose of this project is to install a new emergency closure system at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, Lake Washington Ship Canal, Seattle, WA. An emergency closure structure is any device designed to be placed in rapidly flowing water under differential head to prevent the loss of pool if the lock miter gates are damaged and can no longer function to control the pool. An emergency closure system consists of a closure structure and all the associated equipment necessary to install the closure structure in flowing water. The existing system is inadequate because deploying the stoplogs requires divers to disconnect the stoplogs from the crane. This poses an unacceptable risk to the divers during an emergency situation where the stoplogs must be placed in free flow conditions.
