PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Parker-Davis Access Rock

1.0 INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND

1.1 Introduction

The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), Desert Southwest Region (DSW), requires road repair material across Arizona. The required materials, as described further in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) will be use over the entire Parker-Davis power system to repair access roads on a limited basis.

1.2 Background

WAPA is a Federal power marketing administration that markets and delivers reliable, cost-based hydroelectric power and related services to wholesale customers in 17 states. The Desert Southwest Region is one of four regions of the Western Area Power Administration. Desert Southwest customer service region markets federal hydroelectric power to nearly 70 municipalities, cooperatives, federal and state agencies, and irrigation districts.

Most power sold by the Desert Southwest Region is generated from power plants operated at Hoover, Parker, and Davis dams. Power is also marketed from hydroelectric projects in the Bureau's Upper Colorado Region and the federal portion of power generated at Navajo Generating Station near Page, Arizona.

The Desert Southwest Region also operates and maintains more than 40 substations and 3,400 miles (5,472 kilometers) of transmission lines to keep the system running reliably. Our partnerships with our customers allow us to help them quickly restore service to local residents after storms or other major system disturbances.
