10 February 2025 Place of Performance: White Haven, PA The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District, intends to award a firm fixed contract to perform repair work of the Francis E Walter Dam located in White Haven, PA. The FE Walter Dam repair work will consist of:

a. The rocker bearings at Pier 2 have rocked off their keeper key (Photographs and Inspection report to be provided with Solicitation). The bearings would be repaired by temporarily jacking the bridge girders, removing the existing anchor bolts, sliding the keeper plate back (or fabricate a new one, or modify the existing one), and reset the bearings.

b. The anchor bolts at the fixed bearings at pier 2 are corroded and have no washers (Photographs and Inspection report to be provided with Solicitation). Remove the nuts and install new nuts and washers.

c. Lubricate all bearings.

d. Numerous concrete spalls and delaminations are noted on the piers and abutments (Photographs and Inspection report to be provided with Solicitation). The deteriorated concrete will be removed and replaced with new concrete.

e. The deck is in satisfactory condition, but the top surface is moderately scaled (Photographs and Inspection report to be provided with Solicitation). A thin overlay will be applied to restore the surface and seal the deck from any water intrusion. Traffic control is anticipated as all work will be conducted on a service bridge adjoining a public roadway.

Although the physical bridge is considered a restricted area, the adjoining roadway will be open to public travel and construction activities will need to be given special consideration depending on the time of the year this work is conducted.
