The Department of the Army, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is conducting a market survey to identify small businesses interested in a future contract for the Smithland Lock and Dam Lock Control Update and Repair project in Brookport, Illinois. The project involves a comprehensive upgrade of the lock control system, including the replacement of instrumentation, control cabling, interface panels, and modifications to meet modern interlock requirements, with an estimated duration of 540 calendar days and a cost range between $1 million and $5 million. This initiative aims to enhance the operational efficiency and safety of the lock system, promoting small business participation in federal contracts, particularly from HUBZone, 8A, Woman-Owned, and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned firms. Interested parties must respond by November 11, 2024, and provide necessary documentation, including verification of small business status and relevant project experience, to Ethan Phillips at ethan.s.phillips@usace.army.mil and Adyson Medley at adyson.medley@usace.army.mil.
