- Description
- Work will be conducted at three different sites as described below. The three sites include: Lower Monumental Lock and Dam, Little Goose Lock and Dam, and Lower Granite Lock and Dam. All three sites are located within Washington State along the Snake River. 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. Modifications to the existing switchboard will also be required. Additionally, the contract will require the removal, demolition and disposal of existing switchgear, relay control system and removal and salvage of the existing diesel generators. Concrete Patching, grouting and repair will also be required. The period of performance for the contract is approximately three years. The period of performance for onsite work is dependent upon the spring runoff and fish passage windows that generally provide seven to nine calendar months of on-site work access, each year. Submittals, manufacture, delivery and site preparation outside of the allowable outage windows may start anytime after award. Project site priority and coordination with other project work windows may also dictate other construction schedule requirements and restrictions. Contractor is required to follow the procedures in the Army Corps of Engineers Safety Manual, at http://www.usace.army.mil/CESO/Pages/EM385-1-1,2008NEW!.aspx located at US Army Corps of Engineers homepage. Statement of Work includes working with and around medium voltage equipment and cabling, elevated work sites, restricted access areas and heavy machinery.
