This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS and is not a solicitation announcement. The purpose of this Market Research and Sources Sought Notice is to gain knowledge of potential qualified Small Business, HUBZone, 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran owned, and Women owned Small Business firms. Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the government in making appropriate acquisition decisions. The intended work falls under NAICS code 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, anticipates a requirement for a firm-fixed-price construction contract to perform structural concrete and gate repairs on the spillway at the Carters Reregulation Dam located in Chatsworth, Georgia. The purpose of this project is to perform concrete rehabilitation and retrofit existing structural elements that have been impacted by concrete expansion due to Alkali-Silica Reactivity (ASR). The scope of work includes, but is not limited to: structural concrete demolition of existing pier stoplog slots; installation of new steel stoplog guides and embedded seal plates; placement of specialized shrinkage-compensating concrete; and recessing of side seal plates. Additional mechanical and structural work includes replacing side and bottom seals on four (4) Tainter gates and replacing seals on eight (8) stop logs. The contractor will be fully responsible for the design, fabrication, and installation of Temporary Dewatering Structures (TDS)/cofferdams and temporary gate support shoring. To maintain operational continuity, construction must be executed sequentially, allowing only one gate bay to be dewatered and out of service at any given time. The estimated magnitude of construction is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, with an anticipated performance period of approximately 180 calendar days. Responses are requested with the following information, which shall not exceed a total of eight pages. 1. Offeror name, address, points of contact with telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. 2. Business size/classification to include any designations as Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned and Women-Owned Small Businesses shall be indicated on first page of submission. 3. Bonding capability: construction bonding level per single contract and aggregate construction bonding level, both expressed in dollars; along with current available bonding capacity. 4. Description of your capability to perform the specialized work described above, manage subcontractors, secure and comply with environmental permits, and safely execute Dam and hydraulic Steel structures (HSS) construction. Specifically address your capacity and proposed approach to designing, fabricating, and installing Temporary Dewatering Structures (TDS) and tainter gate shoring systems. 5. Past performance and experience on up to three (3) projects of similar scope, complexity, and value completed within the past five (5) years, or at least 50% construction complete. Relevant experience includes: structural concrete demolition, specialized concrete placement (such as shrinkage-compensating concrete under strict curing/testing protocols), stainless steel structural embed/guide fabrication and welding, Tainter gate seal replacement, and work with USACE Hydraulic Steel Structures within the civil works branch. For each project, provide the title, location, general description of the scope, contract value, role (Prime or Subcontractor), and client contact information (name, phone, and email). NO RESPONSES WILL BE ACCEPTED BY FAX OR MAIL. ALL RESPONSES MUST BE E-MAILED to: Jeffrey M. Donaldson at Jeffrey.M.Donaldson@usace.army.mil. Submittals are due no later than 20 October 2026 at 2:00 PM CDT. Telephonic responses will not be honored. This is not a Request for Proposal, only a Request for Information. No award will result from this Sources Sought. This notice does not constitute any commitment by the Government.
