PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Falcon Dam Power Plant

Annunciators Project Upgrade

PR# 63095201024

OVERVIEW

The project at the U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) Falcon Dam Power Plant is to provide, remove, and upgrade existing Generators Annunciator/ Alarm System. The work shall include but not limited to removal and upgrade of current Annunciator System. This Annunciator System protects three (3) generators and power plant station service, and it’s located inside of operator’s control room.

The Contractor shall review the blue prints and schematics of the actual location of the current annunciator system and develop a plan for removal of current system and installation of new annunciator system. The Contractor shall provide dimensions and specifications of the New Annunciator System for review and final approval prior to submit the firm fixed project cost. The Contractor shall develop, provide, and coordinate a procedure to avoid disturbing Falcon Power Plant daily operations while performing electrical clearance of the facility.

The Contractor shall test the new equipment, provide training to power plant personnel, and provide drawings and schematics for new system with detail specification for the IBWC records.

BACKGROUND

The Falcon Dam Power Plant is located in the city of Falcon Heights, Texas and its part of the Falcon Dam

Reservoir. To access the facility, the Contractor must cross through the United States Port of Entry and shall comply with furnishing proof of residence and/or a United States (US) passport to US Customs and

Border Protection officials.

Moreover, current generators annunciator/ alarm system had been in service for more than 60 years and it’s obsolete. The current annunciator equipment needs to be replaced, because there has been instances where electro‐mechanicals relays needed to be replaced and no parts were available. The current communication system of the equipment is affecting Falcon Power Plant daily operations with wrong false alarms. Not upgrading the current system from in Falcon Power Plant is detrimental, and shall represent a safety hazard to protect the generators and facility station service

The Contractor shall replace current annunciator system with four (4) New Digital Annunciator Displays already programmed and label with all alarms for three generators, and one station service. Those displays shall be mounted on a new metal plate and already pre‐wired from the new display to the terminal blocks.

Those terminal blocks are located on the back of the current control panels inside of operator’s control room. The New Digital Annunciator Displays shall include capacity to install 40 alarms for display, software to communicate with operator’s computer; this software package shall include a settings interface, and event analysis tool capable to storage data and remote user interface.

The Contractor shall remove and upgrade all current annunciator electro‐mechanical relays for every generator and station service, those small relays are located inside of cabinet at High Voltage Gallery Area.

Electro‐mechanical relays shall be upgraded with a Digital Module Automation Controller System already programmed. A complete mounted Digital Module Automation Controller package includes a fully integrated, modular input/output (I/O), and control solution ideally suited for utility and industrial applications. It combines the communications, built‐in security, and with a durable suite of I/O modules that provide high‐speed in communication. Each complete system shall have better respond time as the ones they replaced, since the New Digital Annunciator Displays and Digital Module Automation Controller shall be connected using fiber optic. The Contractor shall provide, install and terminate fiber optic 12/24

ADSS (all dielectric self‐supporter) double jack to communicate the interface between displays and controller system.
