SECTION 3

EXISTING CONDITIONS

3.1 General

A. Falcon Power Plant includes a power station with three 10.5 MW hydroelectric generating units.

Power at the plant was first generated commercially in 1954.

USIBWC Solicitation Page 7 of 15

B. There are three Allis-Chalmers hydraulic turbines that were put into service in 1954 and are rated at 14,750 HP at 100 feet of head while operating at a speed of 163.6 RPM.

C. The carbon steel Francis runner consists of 17 buckets with a discharge diameter of 103 inches.

Runners on Unit 1 show evidence of paint damage, corrosion, and cavitation. The areas of cavitation are concentrated along the suction side of the runner buckets near or on the leading edge of the stainless-steel overlays. Cavitation pitting was not observed on all the buckets, but the worst pits had depths up to approximately one third of an inch.

D. The turbine units have a cam operated inlet valve that should be open from 0-30% wicket gate open and closed from 40-100% wicket gate open. It has been observed that a pipe exiting the powerhouse above the tailrace pulls in air when the units are operating with wicket gates opened at or above 40 percent. If this pipe is connected to the air inlet valve, the air should not be pulled in at this wicket gate opening.

E. There are 20 wicket gates of carbon steel with a nominal height of 24.75 inches. There are no stainless-steel overlays in the toe and heel area of the wicket gates that contact one another during pinch, or 100% closed. Records from 2011-2016 of gate to gate clearances during pinch showed several gates from all 3 units pairs had clearances larger than zero. In all 3 units the gates pairs had non-zero readings averaging at 0.024 inches overall.

F. Oil purification is performed by an oil filtration unit located in a room adjacent to the oil storage.

The oil analysis test kit is believed to be for transformer insulation oil; therefore, it is not useful in determining turbine oil quality.

3.2 Government Furnished Utilities

A. The Government will not be furnishing any utilities for this project including, but not limited to electricity, telephone, sewer, and natural gas.

3.3 Use of Government Land

A. USIBWC property is available for use as the Contractor's staging and/or storage areas, subject to the approval of the COR. The Contractor shall preserve and protect existing features, trees, and vegetation to the maximum extent practicable.

B. Housing for Contractor personnel will not be permitted on Government land.

3.4 Hazardous Materials

A. The Contractor is responsible for evaluating the existing systems to determine the presence of lead or asbestos-containing materials.

B. The Contractor shall provide a finding report to the COR to include a plan for handling and proper disposal of lead and/or asbestos-containing materials prior to the removal of the existing systems.
