Place of Performance

Watervliet Arsenal at Watervliet, New York.

Project Description:

Radial Forge Infrastructure.

New and upgraded infrastructure is necessary for a new radial forge to be located in Building 135 at Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) in Watervliet, New York. The radial forge infrastructure project is one component of a larger comprehensive plan for WVA to replace the existing circa 1970 SX‐55 Rotary Forge with an RX‐70 Radial Forge. WVA is contracting directly with an equipment manufacturer to design and install the forge equipment and foundation. The Radial Forge requires new and upgraded infrastructure to function including process water, compressed air, power and data. WVA also requires infrastructure for operations including domestic water for washdown, drainage from the forge basement, dust/exhaust extraction for optimal working conditions, lighting in the forge basement, and other utility infrastructure improvements in and around Building 135.

Work may include but is not limited to infrastructure demolition work, site improvements, installation of an electrical substation, installation of new power distribution equipment to deliver power to the new equipment, installation of a new baghouse and associated ductwork, installation of a new cooling tower and associated pumps and piping, installation of a standalone control system for the infrastructure, installation of a standalone compressed air system, expansion and renovation of an existing control tower, architectural upgrades, life health and safety upgrades, installation of limited fire alarm and fire protection service, restoration of disturbed areas, and commissioning of all installed systems under the USACE contract.

Extensive coordination throughout the life of the project with the equipment manufacturer, equipment installer, WVA, and USACE will be required.

The magnitude of the project is between $10 million to $25 million. Duration of construction will be approximately 1005 calendar days after Notice to Proceed. Notice to Proceed is anticipated to occur in APRIL 2023.
