Jay Jamison Bureau of Reclamation Re: Incoming Inspection Palisades Dam Date: August 8, 2022

Jay, Please see incoming inspection report attached. PT inspection showed a lot of disbond at the bond line and there was a small indication during UT inspection which is noted in the report. There was also a crack found in the base metal of the mating flange and there are pictures of this crack included in the report. As found dimensions show that there is about .004” stock left in the bore from the desired dimension of 25.515”.

Please review and if everything is acceptable, ABB will move forward with skim cutting the bore and painting of the oil tub. We will await your authorization prior to proceeding.

(2) "Confidential commercial or financial information" means any business information

(other than trade secrets) which is exempt from the mandatory disclosure requirement of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. Exemptions from mandatory disclosure which may be applicable to business information contained in proposals include exemption (4), which covers "commercial and financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential," and exemption (9), which covers "geological and geophysical information, including maps, concerning wells."

The offeror also requests that this information not be used in whole or part by the government for any purpose other than to evaluate the proposal, except that if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with the submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information to the extent provided in the contract."
