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

Cost of components means —

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor , the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

The cost of foreign iron and steel includes but is not limited to the cost of foreign iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the construction material and a good faith estimate of the cost of all foreign iron https://www.acquisition.gov/far/part-2#FAR_2_101

I-6 or steel components excluding COTS fasteners. Iron or steel components of unknown origin are treated as foreign. If the construction material contains multiple components, the cost of all the materials used in such construction material is calculated in accordance with the definition of
