Lower Monumental Dam is located near Kahlotus, Little Goose Dam is near Starbuck, and Lower Granite Dam is near Pomeroy. The Diesel Generators to be replaced consist of the powerhouse emergency diesel generators. Currently, the generators are 4160V, 500kVA, 1970s vintage engine generators with relay control systems which are difficult to maintain and operate. Three Generators are scheduled to be replaced at three different locations: Little Goose Lock and Dam, Lower Monumental Lock and Dam, and Lower Granite Lock and Dam. The switchgears scheduled to be replaced are designated as SQ2, includes 300kVA, 4160V-480V step-down transformers and feeds power to auxiliary systems, primarily for units 5 & 6. The switchgear is currently Federal Pacific Electric, is considered unreliable and is difficult to maintain. Switchgears are scheduled to be replaced at two of the three locations: Lower Monumental Lock and Dam and Lower Granite Lock and Dam. The contract will require the supply and installation of three Diesel Generators and the associated control system components along with two SQ2 switchgear. Each generator replacement will include but is not limited to the installation of 750 kVA, 480V generator, 480-4160V step-up transformer, two 5kV circuit breakers (three at Lower Granite), load bank, day tank, PLC control system, and associated conduit, cabling and wires. SQ2 switchgear system replacement will include associated cabinets, circuit breakers, transformers, high resistance ground, and associated conduit, cabling and wires.
