The project is being executed in four phases: preliminary design (completed), detailed design (completed), and two modifications (1st modification completed) for engineering services during construction (SDC).
The preliminary design phase (the initial contract) evaluated the condition of dam infrastructure and ancillary equipment and developed recommendations for improvements to address operational/maintenance/security needs.
The detailed design (Contract Renewal 1) developed design documents for the construction of proposed improvements that will serve all intentions of the planned operation, provide security, resiliency, flexibility and ease of operation with reasonable maintenance requirements, and extend the life of this critical asset.
The initial phase of Engineering Services During Construction (Contract Renewal 2) addressed major elements of the SDC work through the commissioning of the Hoover Dam East Water Supply Train. This scope included technical project representation (TPR) duties, construction phase engineering, shop drawing review, responding to RFIs, developing RFP's, start-up and commissioning assistance, training, and record documentation.
*Project changed from Renewals to Modifications with this legislation.
This legislation (Modification #3) is a planned modification to continue Engineering Services During Construction. Major elements of the SDC work includes technical project representation (TPR) duties, construction phase engineering, shop drawing review, responding to RFIs, developing RFPS, start-up and commissioning assistance, training, and record documentation for the remaining cons...
