RFQ Contractor - Hardwoods Mill Dam Improvements

consist of demolition of structures, equipment, piping, and related materials in areas of construction as specified in the technical specifications and construction drawings. The project also consists of construction of various components of the primary spillway structure, including new spillway training walls, concrete spillway chute with under-slab drainage system, sheet pile cutoff walls, concrete intake structure with sluice gate, stop log systems, and low-level outlet; and driven pile foundations. The spillway work will require cofferdams to divert tailwater from the work area and retain the raw water reservoir, which must remain in service during construction. Control of seepage and groundwater intrusion into excavations will be an important aspect of the project and will likely require a well-point or deep well dewatering system. Existing underground utilities such as the inter-plant residuals pipeline and fiber optic communication line will be re-routed as part of the project. The project will also include construction of a cast in place concrete parapet wall along the crest of the embankment sections of the dam The Work includes: 1) Furnishing all the labor, material, superintendence, power, lighting, heating, fueling, water, tools, equipment, supplies and associated appurtenances required for the performance and completion of the Work under this Contract. 2) Maintenance of the Work area. 3) Diversion and control of water while maintaining reservoir levels at specified elevations as indicated in the Contract Documents. 4) Protection of finished and unfinished Work. 5) Repair and restoration of Work and/or adjacent facilities damaged during construction. 2.
