The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Colorado River Agency, Branch of Electrical Services (CRA-ES) is in the need of a replacement UPS System and Power Inverter for the Headgate Rock Dam (HGRD). CRA-ES seeks an experienced and knowledgeable contractor to procure, install and commission replacement battery bank and charger for the HGRD.

A key mission of the BIA, CRA-ES is to provide economical and reliable power to the residential and commercial customers that reside within the boundaries of the Colorado River Indian Tribe (CRIT) reservation. Owned and operated by the BIA, CRA-ES HGRD is located on the lower Colorado River, about 15 miles downstream of Parker Dam near the town of Parker, Arizona. HGRD, which impounds a body of water known as Lake Moovalya, has 10 radial gates in which 3 of the feed the hydroelectric power plant that was retrofitted to the Head Gate Rock Dam (HGRD) circa 1992. It was designed as a low head, axial flow turbine powering the generation units to nearly 19.5 Mega Watt (MW) of power serving the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) Reservation.

2.0 BACKGROUND

The current battery bank consists of 204 8 Hr to 1.75 VPC Absolyte© batteries. The SBS Inc. AT30 charger supplies 125 VDC to the power station. The system was installed around 2010. Several of the cells have begun to show signs of leakage around the terminal posts.

Battery Bank 1 – Station Service (QTY. 60).

Battery Bank 2 – Exciter Field Flash (QTY. 144).
