This is Attachment 7 to a Request for Proposals (RFP 1100 MMH3038) for Austin Energy's Sand Hill Energy Center Unit 5 Combined Cycle plant, establishing field and shop service labor rates for planned, corrective, predictive, and preventative maintenance, as well as minor upgrades on a Gas Turbine 7FA and Steam Turbine D-11 system located in Texas. The attachment provides a comprehensive labor rate schedule that contractors must propose for various specialist and technical positions, including engineers, field engineers, specialty field engineers, startup specialists, onsite project managers, and multiple categories of specialists such as generator specialists, gas turbine specialists, vibration specialists, laser alignment specialists, and repair specialists for both gas and steam turbine systems. Additional labor categories include craft supervision, work leaders, automated machining repair specialists, quality inspectors across mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation disciplines, safety supervisors, and safety technicians, with the schedule requiring bidders to provide both standard hourly rates and overtime hourly rates for each position.

Bidders are required to submit labor rate proposals for all listed personnel categories and must attach supplementary lists with similar rate information for any additional personnel categories anticipated during the contract period. The attachment explicitly requires contractors to provide a policy governing the application of overtime rates, including any limitations on weekly overtime scheduling. This labor rate schedule serves as a critical pricing component of the RFP, enabling Austin Energy to evaluate total cost of ownership for the maintenance contract based on the anticipated labor requirements and staffing levels necessary to support ongoing operations and maintenance activities at the Sand Hill Energy Center.
