Summary of Scope of Work: Install all new, Government-furnished components as specified for a cable connection to the downstream Navigation Lock Gate and Counter Weight at Ice Harbor Lock & Dam, Burbank, Washington. Components include, but are not limited to; wire rope, frame work, socket sets, connection rods and fasteners. The gate is a guillotine type attached to counterweights on either side of the navigation lock. Removal and installation of wire ropes and attachment assemblies will require the contractor to supply equipment for a combination of shimming and jacking to the counterweight and/or gate. Each counterweight weights approximately 350 tons and is attached to the gate via 12 wire ropes. Each rope is 2-1/4" diameter and roughly 150 feet in length. The contractor will be required to submit a detailed procedure of how the work is to be accomplished. All supporting elements and installation procedures will require analysis by a Professional Engineer. Upon installation of the wire ropes and socket sets, the contractor must provide the equipment and expertise necessary to determine rope loads and adjust the sockets ensuring loads are equally distributed. Each wire rope is equipped with two load cells having three sensors per cell. All load cell sensors (total quantity of 72) on each counterweight must be read simultaneously during the balancing procedure. The contractor will be required to adjust the weight of the counterweight to ensure a balanced system, which means the weight of each counterweight is equal to half of the gate weight. Contractor team responsible for load balancing must be led by a professional engineer with a minimum of 5 years experience balancing similar systems. The contractor will be required to re-install position limit sensing devices to match the existing range of motion.
