How to respond to the Surry Mountain Dam pipe repair RFI for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
What the Army Corps is seeking
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, is conducting a sources-sought market survey for repairs to the float well inlet pipe and replacement of damaged staff gauges at Surry Mountain Dam in Surry, New Hampshire. This is an RFI, not a request for proposal.
Likely work includes a cofferdam, cleaning and lining the 3-inch cast iron pipe, pre- and post-installation CCTV inspections, repairs and protection of the pipe, concrete encasement, and new staff gauges. The estimated construction cost is $350,000 to $500,000.
Dates and what the deadline means
The notice lists November 23, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET as the deadline, but the full description says responses are due September 21, 2026. These dates conflict, so confirm the current deadline through the opportunity notice before preparing to submit.
This market survey is intended to assess interested firms’ availability and capabilities. The project is planned to be solicited in winter 2026, with construction planned for summer 2027. Work timing may depend on pool depth and weather.
Who this opportunity may suit
This opportunity may suit construction firms with experience in pipe cleaning and lining, CCTV pipe inspection, pipe repairs and protection, concrete encasement, or cofferdam work. The listed NAICS code is 237990, with a $45 million size standard.
The notice encourages small businesses and 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned concerns to respond. Firms may identify subcontractors they expect to use and describe their qualifications.
