Contractor Requirements

Technical Requirements / Tasks

3.1 Celina Lake Dam Valve Inspection

The Celina Lake Dam Valve is seized. The Forest Service (FS) has assessed the gear box, and it appears to be free. We are interested in contracting the inspection of the valve and lift system to see what is keeping it from opening and closing.

3.2 Saddle Lake Dam Valve Inspection

The Saddle Lake Dam Valve will not close completely but does move freely. The FS is interested in contracting the inspection of the valve and lift system to see what is keeping it from closing completely.

3.3 U-38 Lake Dam Valve Lift-Stem Inspection

The U-38 Valve Lift-Stem system has come loose from the wall of the inlet structure. It appears to be within the top 6 feet of the riser; however, there could be additional issues below. The request for this dam is to inspect the entire inlet structure for proper operation of the valve, lift, and stem system.
