The National Park Service (NPS) is issuing a Sources Sought Notice to gauge interest and capability of firms for the repair of Historic Dam 4 on the Potomac River within C&O Canal National Historical Park. The project involves extensive civilâengineering work on a historic masonry dam located on the Maryland/West Virginia border. Work includes demolition and replacement of the concrete cap, masonry repointing and grouting, installation of vertical anchors and secantâpile walls, construction of a new eelâladder system, replacement of spillway sluice gates, erosionâcontrol measures, instrumentation installation, and full site reâvegetation. The contractor must hold valid licenses in Maryland and West Virginia, provide detailed submittals (construction access, waterâdiversion, erosionâcontrol, monitoring plans, etc.), and comply with NPS, OSHA, and state environmental regulations. No fixed bid deadline is provided; this is an informationâgathering step that will inform future setâaside decisions.
