Rehabilitation and/or Replacement of Hydroelectric

Generating Units and Pumping Units, Systems and Components

INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Power Resources Office has identified a requirement for the repair or replacement of generators/hydraulic turbines and large motors/pumps following failures of generation or pumping equipment. Reclamation is organized into five regions; California-Great Basin

(CGB), Missouri Basin (MB), Lower Colorado Basin (LCB), Upper Colorado Basin (UCB), and

Columbia-Pacific Northwest (CPN) that may issue task orders under this IDIQ. Reclamation’s hydropower infrastructure ranges from unit capacity of 350 Kilowatts to 805 Megawatts and pumps up to

50 Megawatts. Approximately 50-percent of the units fall between 1-50 Megawatts. Overall, Reclamation has a total of 176 hydro units (turbines and pump-turbines) and 6 large pumps rated at or above 50MW.

Reclamation identified the requirement to expedite the rehabilitation and replacement of deteriorated and failed major mechanical and electrical equipment to preserve the integrity of the hydroelectric portion of the western grid and maintain reliable water delivery. This is critical to Reclamation’s mission to support the water and power needs of its customers and strengthen the western electric grid reliability. The IDIQ may be used by each Region for supplies and services for the rehabilitation and/or replacement of generation and pumping equipment and associated items at Reclamation facilities.

This contract will provide expedited response capability for non-routine maintenance and corrective maintenance. This contract may also be used to perform non-routine deferred maintenance and assessments at Reclamation hydroelectric and irrigation facilities. Projects that have design changes or modifications, such as rehabilitations and overhauls due to end of design life or required corrective action, can be completed through this contract once they have completed the proper design process. This contract is not meant as a substitute for preventative maintenance.

SCOPE OF WORK

Individual regions, area offices, field offices will create Task Orders for their required scope of work.

The Task Orders will include all pertinent data and information, including, but not limited to, service and product requirements/standards, design parameters, required schedule, site conditions, and quality control requirements.

Potential equipment and systems which may be included in the scope of work includes, but is not limited to, turbines, generators, pumps, motors, and auxiliary systems. The scope of work may include, but is not limited to, assessments, inspections, analysis, design, documentation, as-found and as-built drawings, unit disassembly and reassembly, onsite machining, required equipment/tooling for work, manufacturing and fabrication of new components, refurbishment and rehabilitation of existing components, testing, and commissioning. The scope of work may require both on-site and off-site tasks. Some services may require response and completion within 30 days of task order award. Contract performance may require execution of multiple and simultaneous task order requirements at various locations.

Some equipment may have hazardous materials such as asbestos or heavy metals. Reclamation prefers to have a licensed and certified contractor to complete all surveys, sampling and abatement services through an optional task order requirement. If asbestos or heavy metals are identified in the task order or detected during the performance of the work, no work shall be performed until the asbestos or heavy metals have been abated below environmental, health and safety regulatory requirements. The hazardous material abatement in a task order will not be required and a company can elect to not perform the abatement tasks but complete all other work in that task order that does not include abatement. However, a contractor that cannot adequately support the abatement effort is not precluded from working the rest of the task order.

If hazardous material is found during site work and the contractor cannot support the abatement, the

Government will establish another contract to complete the abatement work.
