Site work for a water / sewer project in Edna, Texas. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The Lavaca-Navidad River Authority is seeking bids for the fabrication of one metal spillway stoplog, LNRA stoplog no. 15, based on original plan sheets as originally designed by the US Bureau of Reclamation with the modifications included herein. The rough dimensions (length, width, and height) of the stoplog is 35'x 2'x 4'. Each stoplog will weigh approximately 15,000 lbs. The weight will be certified by the successful bidder. LNRA will proceed without unnecessary delay to consider all bids submitted and reserves the right to reject any and/or all bids Bidders must submit a Bid Bond in the form of a certified check or bank draft payable to the order of the Lavaca-Navidad River Authority, or a satisfactory Bid Bond by the Bidder and acceptable surety, in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total Bid, as a guaranty that the Bidder will enter into a contact with ten (10) days after Notice of Award. Such check or Bid Bond will be returned to all except the west Bidders within three (3) days after the opening of Bids, and the remaining check or Bid Bond promptly after the LNRA and Bidder have executed the Contract, or, if not award has been made withing thirty (30) days after the date of opening of Bids, upon demand of the Bidder at any time thereafter, so long as he has not been notified of the acceptance of his Bid This Project consists of the fabrication of one (1) spillway stoplog based on original plan sheets as originally designed by the US Bureau of Reclamation as shown under the Drawing Section as D-1 and D-2. As a minor detail, in exhibit D-1, special attention should be paid to Section C-C where the 6"x1/4" Bar stops short of the full length of the stoplog. Exhibits D-3 and D-4 show the bars placed incorrectly, as detailed in the drawing. The 6"x1/4" bars should stop 4" short. During fabrication of the original stoplogs, a modification was made to the stoplog retention spring assembly so, each Bidder shall acknowledge, and include with their Bid, the modification to the stoplog retention spring assembly. The steel used to construct the stoplog shall be ASTM A36 steel fabricated in the United States. No foreign steel will be accepted on this project. Contractor shall provide an invoice or mill report from the USA manufacturer, to LNRA, that certifies the steel was fabricated in the United States. The lines of the stoplog will be plumb, true, and straight. No warpage, twists, bellies, or sags from overheating or mishandling of the steel will be accepted. Non-conformity to the plan dimensions will not be accepted. It is imperative that the stoplogs be constructed plumb, true, and straight for proper function during deployment of the logs in the spillway slots. During the site visit, please note that after 45 years of service some stoplogs may be out of spec, meaning some dimensions may not be accurate or true. If there are questions about a dimension, please contact Kenneth Fojtik or Scott Hartl. Otherwise, all work and materials shall conform to the details, dimensions, and material requirements as provided for on the plan sheets or as otherwise specified by LNRA. All welding shall be performed by qualified welders who are certified using LNRA's Welding Procedure, attached hereto as Exhibit D-5. A list of these certified welders shall be provided to LNRA before construction begins. All weld connections shall comply with AWS D1.1 for welding procedure specifications, tolerances, appearance, and quality of welds and for methods used in correcting welding work. Assemble and weld built-up, sections by methods that will maintain true alignment of axes without exceeding tolerances of AISC's "Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges" for mill material. Welding electrodes shall comply with AWS requirements. Unless otherwise approved, all electrodes used to construct the stoplog shall be E70XX, low hydrogen. If the use of MIG welding is intended, the successful bidder will provide submittal of proposed type of solid wire. An LNRA representative will periodically inspect the fabrication of the stoplog for conformance to the plans and specifications. Also, a final inspection will be made by a team of LNRA representatives to validate the conformance of the fabrication to the plans and specifications. The stoplogs shall be delivered to LNRA free of slag or buckshot from welds. A LNRA representative will inspect and approve the condition of each stoplog prior to delivery to LNRA's Palmetto Bend Dam. The Contractor shall have such log weighed prior to delivery and will report this weight to LNRA at delivery. The bid price shall include shipping of the stoplogs to LNRA's Palmetto Bend Dam west materials laydown area. The Contractor shall provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and supervision as required to complete all items of work. *The list of planholders and/or interested bidders is not being tracked by the stakeholders involved with this project.
