The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is conducting a Sources Sought notice for the "Smithland Lock and Dam Lock Control Update and Repair" project, aimed at identifying small business contractors interested in participating in this future construction opportunity. The project involves significant updates to the lock control system, including the replacement of existing instrumentation, control cabling, interface panels, and modifications to meet modern interlock requirements. This initiative is crucial for maintaining the operational integrity of the lock and dam infrastructure, with an estimated project cost ranging from $1 million to $5 million. Interested small businesses must respond by October 22, 2024, and provide documentation of their qualifications and experience, while ensuring they can self-perform at least 15% of the project cost. For further inquiries, interested parties can contact Ethan Phillips at ethan.s.phillips@usace.army.mil or by phone at 502-315-6545.
