Dive Support Services - Olmsted Lock and Dam

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting market research to identify potential parties interested in and capable of performing dive support services at Olmsted Lock and Dam. The primary scope of this work is to dive the upstream side of the 1,400-foot Wicket Trench prior to the raising of the dam, and to inspect and remove any debris. The contractor will be required to provide all necessary labor, equipment, and materials to perform the work. The base work is expected to include up to three separate dive inspection and cleaning cycles per year, with each cycle lasting approximately 2-3 days, plus mobilization. The government also intends to include pricing for up to five optional dives per year to address emergent needs. • The contractor must provide a fully compliant 5-person dive team, including a supervisor, diver, standby diver, and two tenders. • The contractor must execute all diving operations in strict adherence to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1. • The contractor must provide project management, project supervision, and all necessary certified and inspected dive equipment. • The contractor must have experience performing commercial diving services in a hazardous, open-river environment.
