Operation of all mechanical and electrical systems within the dam and appurtenant structures shall be performed by dam operations personnel only. The extent of cavitation damage to the conduit liners will vary by conduit at the different dam locations and water leakage past the isolation gates may likely be encountered. It is incumbent upon the Contractor to verify actual field and site conditions. The work performed in the outlet works conduits will be in a Permit Required Confined Space and conditions inside the conduit will be cool, wet, and possibly humid. The Contractor shall have proper training and experience working in permit required confined spaces. The contractor will need to provide their own qualified confined space standby rescue team. Hazardous conditions and atmospheres that may be generated by the work to be performed in the confined space must be mitigated and workers properly protected. All work must be performed in compliance with all pertinent OSHA regulations and COE Safety Regulations as a minimum. Due to the current and caused conditions where work under this contract is to commence, the Contractor shall be required to develop and submit an activity hazard analysis to include confined space, respiratory protection, abrasive blasting (for paint preparation), welding work, fall protection, noise, hazardous atmospheres, hazardous waste abatement, etc., for each task order. In addition, a confined space plan along with a respiratory protection program shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for approval. A copy of the approved plans shall be provided by the Contractor to the Contracting Officer or his/her designated officials prior to work under this contract and upon request.

Repair of Steel Liners: The steel liners at various projects have experienced cavitation damage or heavy corrosion (Photo 1) and are in need of repair. A typical location where cavitation damage has occurred is along the liner surfaces immediately downstream of the service slide gates and in the slide gate guide slots. Repair of Bonneted Slide Gates: The bottom seal on a number of slide gates are heavily pitted from cavitation damage or corrosion (Photo 2) permitting excessive water leakage. The pitted/corroded sections will need to be removed and the original section restored using a weld build-up method. Concrete Construction and Repair Work: ASR concrete deterioration or corrosion induced concrete deterioration exists at numerous projects in various locations, including, but not limited to; the outlet works, spillways, and bridge abutments (Photo 3). The deteriorated concrete will need to be removed the structure restored to original condition.
