Based on the root cause analysis, the contractor is to develop several alternatives that will permanently correct the vibration problem and provide an analysis of these potential corrective actions. A report is to be provided to the Government detailing the different approaches, their benefits and drawbacks, and providing estimates of cost and time for each, as well as singling out the recommended preferred method. Computer modeling of the units incorporating the corrections must be performed in order to provide verification of the adequacy of these actions. 2.Develop specifications for selected corrective action. Once the Government has reviewed and accepted the report, a preferred method will be selected. The contractor will then develop detailed drawings, specifications, and a cost/time estimate for this corrective method. This package will be submitted to the Government for approval. 3.Temporary Pump Operation Solution. Pending completion of the permanent corrections to the units, it would be desirable for the Government to be able to operate the units temporarily, and safely, in pump mode. Contractor will advise the Government on a temporary means for safely operating the units in pump mode prior to the permanent corrective action being completed. 4.Design excessive vibration alarms. (OPTIONAL) In addition to the vibration corrective actions, the contractor will design an alarm system that will audibly and visually alert the plant operator to an excessive vibration condition with any of the pump units, after steady state pumping is achieved. The system should interface with the existing plant annunciation system, the Bentley-Nevada vibration monitoring system and the machine condition monitoring (MCM) equipment (not replace them), and is to be submitted for approval. 5.Structural Inspection Procedures. (OPTIONAL) Both units (5 & 6) have experienced excessive vibration. Each unit needs a thorough inspection to assure that there has been no structural damage. The contractor will provide a detailed inspection procedure focusing primarily on the most critical weld joints and bolted connections. 6.Gate Timing Adjustments. (OPTIONAL) In the pump mode the units are set up for opening the wicket gates as fast as possible. This could be contributing to the vibration problems. The contractor will develop and submit a detailed, step by step procedure for increasing this gate timing in the pump mode, without affecting the generation mode timing. Once the Government implements the gate timing adjustments the contractor will monitor one pump unit during several start ups, with different gate times, and recommend an optimal setting based on analysis of the data. Copies of equipment drawings, measurements, and the root cause report will be made available upon request. The contractor shall provide all equipment and labor necessary to complete the work identified in this scope. Use of Government equipment will not be allowed. All work performed under this scope shall be done in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Safety manual, EM 385-1-1, as well as the Control of Hazardous Energy Manual\LOTO procedures, EM 385-1-31. Execution: The procedures for the inspection and the adjustment of the wicket gate timing shall be completed and submitted within 60 days of NTP. The alarm system design is to be provided within 80 days of NTP. The report on potential corrective actions shall be submitted within 90 days of NTP. The detailed drawings and specifications for the final correction plan are to be submitted within 120 days of NTP. Contractor Qualifications: The contractor shall have at least ten years experience troubleshooting\analyzing vibration problems on vertical hydropower generators. Additionally, the contractor shall have worked with at least three other reversible pump turbines of similar size and design within that minimum ten year period. Selection Criteria. The proposals shall include a detailed narrative and supporting references demonstrating three successful experiences in each of the following areas: 1) Analyzing vibration problems on vertical hydropower generators/reversible pump turbines of similar size and design as Richard B. Russell Units 5 & 6. 2) Designing and implementing vibration mitigation/repair solutions on vertical hydropower generators/reversible pump turbines of similar size and design as Richard B. Russell Units 5 & 6. 3) Performing structural inspection/analysis of vertical hydropower generators/ reversible pump turbines of similar size and design as Richard B. Russell Units 5 & 6. Proposals will be evaluated based upon the reference experience provided, price, and their ability to meet the timeline required in this scope of work. Price Schedule ItemPrice 1. Develop alternative corrective actions. 2. Develop specifications for selected corrective action. 3. Temporary Pump Operation Solution. 4. Design excessive vibration alarms. (OPTIONAL) 5. Structural Inspection Procedures. (OPTIONAL) 6. Gate Timing Adjustments. (OPTIONAL) TOTAL
