STATEMENT OF WORK

Spring Creek Powerplant Lead Paint Removal Northern California Area Office

Bureau of Reclamation

1. BACKGROUND/PROJECT CONDITIONS

1.1. Background: Spring Creek Powerplant is located along Iron Mountain Mine Road. 1 mile north of Keswick, CA. The powerplant has two 70 MW generation units. Unit 1 will undergo refurbishment in the spring of 2024. The Unit will be disassembled so that a major component, the turbine, can be replaced. Several interior metal surfaces of the unit must be machined or piping modifications done in order to accept the new turbine and systems. These surfaces are coated with lead paint, which must be removed prior to machining.

1.2. Access. The painted surfaces are available for work only after Unit disassembly.

Scaffolding and/or ladders may be required to reach surfaces. Contractor to verify from plans and at pre-construction site visit.

1.3. Testing. The paint has been tested for lead or other contaminants. Contractor shall assume that all paint subject to this work contains lead.

2. SCOPE OF WORK

2.1. Contractor shall

2.1.1. Prevent contamination from dust and debris generated by paint removal activities by providing containment immediately around the work area,

2.1.2. Hold point for Contractor once Containment is built for BOR to perform a base line lead survey of work area prior to any paint removal.

2.1.3. remove paint from metal surfaces designated by the government. The major surfaces are circular, with approximate painted areas as follows:

Location Area (ft2)

Turbine Pit and Unit barrel 278

Draft Tube 264

Servo Alcoves 340

Oil Pump Alcove 74

Total Surface Area is Approx 956

The surfaces are mostly vertical; however, some are horizontal, others angled.

Exhibit 1 is a sectional elevation of the turbine with the paint removal areas highlighted. Contractor to verify from plans and at pre-construction site visit.

2.1.4. employ paint removal techniques that avoid unduly damaging the underlying metal.

2.1.5. properly dispose of all removed paint, blast media if used

2.1.6. vacuum and wipe down all surfaces inside the containment area to remove all particulate matter generated by paint removal activities.

2.1.7. Hold point for Contractor while BOR conduct a post paint removal lead contamination survey. This will be compared to pre paint removal survey.

2.1.8. Remove Containment once lead survey is complete and passes industry standards for lead dust.

2.2. Critical Work. Time is of the essence. Paint removal lies on the critical path of the overall refurbishment of Unit 1. Refurbishment work on Unit 1 cannot proceed until the work area is free of paint and cleaned of contaminant surface particles. Contractor needs to remove paint in approximately 1 week's time once containment is set and pre work lead survey is completed.
