Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) New England District is planning a control‑system replacement for the Stamford Hurricane Barrier in Stamford, Connecticut. The effort focuses on procuring and installing brand‑name hydraulic and electronic components (valves, filters, transducers, breathers, etc.) that are compatible with existing proprietary Rexroth‑designed hydraulic power units (HPUs) and manifold assemblies. While this notice is not a formal solicitation, USACE seeks capability statements from firms that can supply alternative components meeting the same stringent mechanical, fluid‑cleanliness, and safety criteria.
• Project scope: Replacement of two main Hydraulic Power Units and associated manifold hardware for a critical flood‑control barrier.
• Required items: Proportional and counter‑balance valves, high‑pressure/low‑pressure filters, desiccant breathers, pressure transducers, temperature RTDs, magnetic trap plugs, check valves, relief valves, gauges, and related adapters.
• Brands referenced (required unless an equivalent can be demonstrated): Bosch Rexroth, HYDAC, Des‑Case, Honeywell (Sensotec), Dwyer Omega, Lisle Corporation.
• Goal: Ensure precise mechanical fit, synchronized gate‑cylinder operation, and maintain ISO‑4406 fluid cleanliness standards.
• Submission: Capability statements due within 15 days of the notice posting via email to [email protected] (subject line “W912WJ27BA001 – Stamford Hurricane Barrier Mechanical Components”).
• This is a market‑research effort; no contract award or payment is guaranteed at this stage.
