IT IS UNCLEAR EVEN WITH GOVERNMENT DIRECTION ON A NON-DESTRUCTIVE REMOVAL APPROACH, IF THIS LEAF NUT WILL BE DAMAGED DURING REMOVAL. THIS SUPPLEMENT IS TO DIRECT THE CONTRACTOR TO FABRICATE AN ADDITIONAL LEAF NUT TO EITHER REPLACE THE EAST GATE LEAF NUT OR SERVE AS A SPARE FOR FUTURE WORK ON THE GATES. DUE TO THE LONG LEAD TIME REQUIRED TO FABRICATE AND DELIVER THESE LEAF NUTS, HAVING THIS LEAF NUT READILY AVAILABLE WILL MINIMIZE SCHEDULE IMPACTS IN THE EVENT THAT THE EAST LEAF NUT IS DAMAGED DURING REMOVAL.

  TAS::96 3135::TAS ARRA::YES::ARRA RECOVERYPROJECT#::323621::RP# REHAB SERVICE/EMERGENCY GATES/TRASHRACK AT CHATFIELD DAM, CO REHAB WATERTIGHT DOOR AT BEAR CREEK DAM, CO A1100-ARRA-RECOVERY FUNDS AN IMMEDIATE NTP TO INCREASE THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT IS REQUIRED BECAUSE THE FINAL DESIGN FOR THE MODIFICATION CANNOT BE COMPLETED WITHOUT SHOP DRAWINGS FOR THE BRIDGE CRANE SO LOADING AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS CAN BE DETERMINED. AT THIS TIME A TEMPORARY SPECIALIZED HOIST NEEDS TO BE PROCURED IN ORDER TO REINSTALL THE WEST SERVICE GATE PRIOR TO PEAK SNOWMELT AND TO PREVENT FLOODING. THIS GATE WILL BE REINSTALLED IN THE EARLY MAY TIMEFRAME USING THE TEMPORARY HOIST SYSTEM ON THE CONSTRUCTED BRIDGE CRANE STRUCTURE. THIS SPECIALIZED HOIST IS NOT COMMONLY AVAILABLE. SECURING THE HOIST AT THIS TIME ENSURES ITS AVAILABILITY TO REINSTALL THE GATE AND PRIOR TO THE POTENTIAL FLOOD SEASON. IN ADDITION, AN IMMEDIATE NTP IS NEEDED BECAUSE THE BRIDGE CRANE HAS A LEAD TIME FOR FABRICATION OF 22 WEEKS AND APPROXIMATELY THREE (3) WEEKS FOR SHIPPING AND INSTALLATION. IT IS DESIRABLE BY OPERATIONS TO INSTALL AND MAKE OPERATIONAL THIS PERMANENT CRANE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO HAVE A FULLY OPERATIONAL TOWER. GIVING THE CONTRACTOR AN IMMEDIATE NTP WILL ALLOW THE CONTRACTOR TO SECURE THE TEMPORARY HOIST AND BEGIN FABRICATING THE CRANE IMMEDIATELY AND CONCURRENTLY WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE FINAL BRIDGE CRANE DESIGN.

  TAS::96 3135::TAS ARRA::YES::ARRA RECOVERYPROJECT#::323621::RP# REHAB SERVICE/EMERGENCY GATES/TRASHRACK AT CHATFIELD DAM, CO REHAB WATERTIGHT DOOR AT BEAR CREEK DAM, CO AFTER INSPECTION AND REVIEW OF THE CHATFIELD BRIDGE LEADING TO THE TOWER, STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE BRIDGE CAN ONLY SUPPORT A GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT OF 27,500 POUNDS FOR INFREQUENT USE. THIS WEIGHT LIMITATION PRECLUDES THE USE OF THE ORIGINAL CRANE FOR REMOVAL AND INSTALL OF THE EMERGENCY AND SERVICE GATES DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. CONSEQUENTLY, A PERMANENT BRIDGE CRANE NEEDS TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE TOWER FOR REMOVAL AND INSTALL OF THESE GATES. THIS APPROACH SUPERSEDES THE AIR CRANE SUPPORT APPROACH UNDER R10006. A 2-PART MODIFICATION IS NEEDED BECAUSE FINAL DESIGN DOCUMENTS FOR THE BRIDGE CRANE ARE STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT BY USACE, BUT THE CONTRACTOR COULD BEGIN DEVELOPING SHOP DRAWINGS FOR THE BRIDGE CRANE WITH THE EXISTING DRAFT FINAL DESIGN DOCUMENTS. PROVIDING DIRECTION IN THE SHORT TERM FOR THE CONTRACTOR TO START WORK ON THE SHOP DRAWINGS COULD SAVE AS MUCH AS FOUR WEEKS ON THE SCHEDULE. THIS IS CRITICAL BECAUSE IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT DESIGN, INSTALL, AND TESTING OF THE BRIDGE CRANE WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY SEVEN (7) MONTHS TO COMPLETE AND IT IS DESIRABLE TO COMPLETE THIS WORK PRIOR TO THE SUMMER 2012 SNOWMELT SEASON.
