\n\n\n\nProject Title: Barkley Dam Emergency Gate Painting
\n\nProject Location: Cumberland River Livingston County, Kentucky
\n\nNAICS Code: 238320, Painting and Wall Covering
\n\nPSC: Y1QA
\n\nEstimated Magnitude of Construction: Between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000
\n\nAnticipated Solicitation Issuance Date: Q1 FY27
\n\nEstimated duration of the project: 274 calendar days
\n\nAnticipated Contract Type: Anticipated project will be a competitive, firm-fixed price (FFP) contract.
\n\nAnticipated Acquisition Method: Anticipated project will be acquired using Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 12 Commercial Products and Commercial Services or RFO Part 14 Sealed Bidding
\n\nProject Summary: The Barkley Emergency Gate (Hydraulic Structural Section) is to be coated in accordance with the specifications. Surface prep in accordance with SSPC-SP 5 (White Metal Blast Cleaning) standards, ensuring a thorough removal of all rust, scale, and contaminants to achieve a clean, bare metal surface. The existing structure originally utilized lead-based paint. Majority of the coasting system has been removed. However, approximately 100 sq ft of lead-based paint is present. Following preparation, the contractor shall apply the 5-E-Z coating system as specified, adhering strictly to the manufacturer’s guidelines for application, including proper mixing, application techniques, and curing times, to ensure optimal corrosion protection and durability of the HSS structure.
\n\nProspective subcontractors are encouraged to submit so the information can be used when developing the potential Small Business Participation Plan percentages if the eventual acquisition is conducted as an unrestricted, negotiated acquisition. If your firm is interested in subcontracting opportunities rather than performing as the Prime Contractor on this future procurement, please identify the feature(s) of work you are interested in and your small business socio-economic category in the capability statement.
