REQUIREMENT:

Canada owns and operates the St. Andrew’s Lock and Dam (SALD), a National Historic Site in Lockport, Manitoba.  SALD was constructed between 1907 and 1910 and first operated in 1910.  Including the approaches, the overall length of the SALD structure is 447 m.  The facility consists of the following:

• two abutments and five piers forming six spans, each 119'-8" in clear width, to pass water;
• a weir (called the "fixed dam") between the piers;
• 89 frames which are swung down from their storage position to rest against blocks on the fixed dam;
o The 89 frames consist of 47 double and 42 single frames.
o Each span has 15 frames and curtains except for Span # 6 which only has 14 due to the presence of a fish ladder.
o 89 "Caméré curtains" composed of wood slats hinged together that can be unrolled onto the frames to block water flow.

The frames and curtains together are called the "moveable dam". The facility also contains a navigation lock and a fish ladder.

The Contractor will provide all labour, sub-contractors, supervision, tools, access equipment, materials, transportation, and incidentals required to inspect, maintain, and repair a variety of lifting equipment at St. Andrew’s Lock and Dam (SALD).

The Contractor will certify annually that lifting equipment is safe to use for its intended purpose.

Period of contract will be for three (3) years with three (3) additional one (1) year options periods.
