The Department of the Army, Omaha District, has issued solicitation W9128F26RA079 for the replacement of service and emergency gates at Bear Creek Dam in Lakewood, Colorado. This requirement is designated as an SBA Small Business Administration (SBA) set-aside. The project is classified under NAICS 237990 Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction and PSC Z2KA REPAIR OR ALTERATION OF DAMS. Responses must be submitted by the deadline of June 29, 2026, to the point of contact, Mika N. Mahyenga.

The scope of work involves fabricating and installing new service and emergency gates to fit existing gate slots, which requires the contractor to measure for accuracy rather than relying solely on provided drawings. Performance includes repainting the inlet tunnel liner, gate slots, and marine door, as well as replacing bonnet gaskets and O-ring seals within the main hydraulic gate hoist system. Additionally, the contractor will replace hydraulic oil piping for the low-flow gate and manage the redesign, fabrication, shop-testing, and installation of low-flow gate cylinders.

Technical requirements are detailed across six attachments, including specific drawings, gate rehabilitation specifications, and site visit information. Amendment 0001 was issued on May 22, 2026, to establish the current June response deadline. The project involves mechanical work illustrated in specific drawing sheets and detailed in specifications regarding gate seals and hydraulic hoisting systems for civil works structures.
