BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District is seeking small business sources for a construction project entitled Chief Joe Spillway Monolith Joint Sealant.

The proposed repair work will involve drilling out the existing monolith drain hole, cleaning the holes, tremie grouting any voids within the joint, and installing hydrophilic urethane cylinders in the holes. The cylinders will form new waterstops. Drill holes will be 6 or 8-inches in diameter and hole depths are in the 100-200 foot range. Additional crack sealing work will be completed in the forebay on the upstream face of the spillway, with diving depths not to exceed 150 feet.
