Fort Randall Dam Intake Bulkhead Non Destructive Testing

The US Army Corps of Engineers is seeking a contractor to provide Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services for the Fort Randall Dam intake bulkhead. The testing will be performed in accordance with ANSI/AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code - Steel (2020) to determine if any surface cracks exist in tested welds or base metal on the dam's hydraulic steel structures. The contractor will be required to perform the testing over the existing paint surface, without removing the paint. The period of performance is from August 11, 2025 through September 2025. • The contractor will be required to perform Magnetic Testing (MT) only, without using Ultrasonic Testing (UT) to follow cracks. • The contractor will have access to the bulkheads and lifting beam to perform the testing. • The contractor will be required to submit a report within 30 calendar days of completing the inspection. • The government acknowledges that the contractor's testing may not identify some defects due to the presence of paint, and the reports provided by the contractor would indicate as such.
