The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has extended the deadline for bids to repair gate stems at Jennings Randolph Dam on the North Branch Potomac River in Maryland and West Virginia. Bids now are due Nov. 18.
The Corps previously called for bids by Oct. 26 to work on Jennings Randolph Dam, which was built in 1981 to create an emergency reservoir for the Washington metropolitan area.

The Corps’ Baltimore District seeks bids to replace four large cladded hydraulic slide gate stems with solid stainless steel stems. All water gland seals and all hydraulic gland seals are to be replaced. The work is valued at between $1 million and $5 million.
