Bid Description:
The Village of Swanton (Village) is seeking professional engineering services to develop preliminary design alternatives for rehabilitation of the Highgate Falls’ existing crest gate system. Specifically, the Village desires to contract with a qualified firm for professional engineering services to develop design alternatives to replace the failed rubber dam at the Swanton Village Electric Department’s Highgate Falls Hydropower Project located in Highgate Falls, Vermont. The Highgate Falls Hydropower Plant is licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)(FERC Project No. 2547).
All design alternatives will be considered and could include, but are not limited to, a raised concrete crest, installation of pneumatic or hydraulic crest gates, or combinations of crest raising and gate installation. A fourth, separate “do-nothing” option shall also be evaluated. Under a “do-nothing” scenario, the Village would also solicit an assessment of whether to operate the Plant as-is without a replacement spillway section, sell, and/or decommission the Plant. The Village further encourages applicants to propose additional or innovative alternatives that may offer improved performance, cost-effectiveness, constructability, or operational benefits beyond those identified above.
Special Instructions:
Email wsheets@swanton.net with subject “Highgate Falls RFQ Information Package” to receive a Preliminary Information Package. Please note that the package may contain Critical Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII) information and execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement may be required prior to obtaining these materials.
