The generators shall be equipped with automatic synchronizers and all applicable protective devices for connection to the energized national grid. All installed equipment shall be capable of full-load operation in outdoor environmental conditions expected in Iraq, including extremely hot temperatures and blowing sand/dust. The layout and design of the works shall incorporate features to provide appropriate levels of security for both construction and long-term operation, in accordance with Corps of Engineers guidance. This scope of work is for the design, procurement and construction of the two associated generating facilities projects (construction of B power station, construction of C power station) necessary to increase power-generating capability at or near the Nasa riyah power station. This scope of work consists of preparation of engineering documents, including calculations, drawings, specifications, and cost estimates, plus procurement and construction works, commissioning, one months operation, and turning facili ties over to the long-term operator. The work to be carried out shall include, but not be limited to, the following contractual requirements: (1) Design and construct a lay down site adjacent to the Nasiriya power station. This lay down site will be utilized as staging area and must include a security fence. Provide all plant and labor required to receive, off load, inventory and secure supplies , materials and equipment delivered for installation of two BHEL Frame 9 generators originally purchased by UNDP for use at Ramalia but diverted for use at the Nasiriya power station. Similarly, receive, off load and securely store the Frame 6 generator se t and associated equipment purchased from BTEC. Maintain secure storage of this equipment; then forward the equipment to the power station sites at appropriate times for incorporation into the orderly construction of the power plants. (2) Perform necessary engineering studies, conceptual design work, and detail design and engineering services, to accomplish the following milestones for the B Station (1 x Frame 6B) and C Station (2 x Frame 9Es): Site selection, Soils testing complete, Site Preparation complete, Excavations complete, Concrete works complete, Generator sets on foundations, and Synchronization. (3) Perform the appropriate layout and other engineering studies, and provide technical support to the Corps of Engineers in inves tigations of the electricity transmission, means of gas and oil supply, availabilities of suitable quantities of fuel, and other infrastructure issues. Make recommendations, for CoE approval, as to the locations and layouts for a new 40 MW nominal capacity B power station, using the Frame 6 gas turbine currently on order from BTEC, and for a new C power station, using the two Frame 9E 125 MW gas turbines previously purchased by the UN. (Both the B and C developments shall be for initial simple-cycle operati on). (4) Procure all necessary additional equipment, and rapidly construct the B station (with works to operate on natural gas as primary fuel, with distillate oil as a standby fuel) including the substation and transmission works necessary to connect, at an appropriate location, to the 132 kV electrical grid system. All necessary facilities shall be furnished to a llow the Frame 6 unit to provide a black start capability for the existing, four 200 MW- A station turbine units and for the proposed two 125 MW C station units. (5) Identify sources and place orders before 20 December 2003 for all additional long-lead items necessary to allow the C station generators to contribute their output to the Iraq transmission system at the earliest practical date. Procure all necessary equipment and rapidly construct the Nasiriyah C station, based on the two 9E gas turbine generators and the package of associated equipment produced by BHEL and recently held by the UNDP, which will be provided to the Contractor on a free issue basis. The Contractors works shall include the design, procurement and construction of an appropriate method of connecting to the 400 kV transmission system, including substation and any transmission works. The Nasiriyah C station design and con struction shall be for operation using natural gas as the primary fuel, with provisions for firing crude oil as the alterative fuel.
