2. INTRODUCTION

2.1. Summary

Lakeland Electric (OWNER) seeks well-qualified and experienced Boiler and HRSG contractors to perform various scopes of work as detailed below, as well as to retain the services of sub-contractors and a consultant where work requires. The work will take place during the Unit No. 5 Spring Outage, beginning on February 22nd, 2025, and ending on May 5th, 2025.

This solicitation is a Request for Proposal (RFP) in which the Bidder will provide detailed accounts of their experience as an industrial boiler contractor capable of performing code welds on thin-wall HRSG tubes and heavy wall P91 piping, as well as providing other measurable / verifiable criteria to be detailed in the sections below.

2.2. Background

The HRSG at McIntosh Unit 5 uses waste heat from a Siemens 501G combustion turbine to produce superheated, dry steam and supply that steam to a Siemens ST5 steam turbine. The HRSG is a Nooter-

Erikson steam generator, built in the year 2000 by Chanute. It is designed to produce 553,360 lbs/hr main-steam flow at 1,832 psig and 1041°F at the HP superheat outlet. The HRSG is a three-pressure system with a low-pressure (LP) drum, and intermediate pressure (IP) drum and a high pressure (HP) drum. Siemens performed a "Flex Fire" upgrade on the 501G CT in 2020, increasing mass flow and exhaust temperature through the HRSG.

Recent borescope inspections have revealed indications in one of the high-pressure desuperheater spray liner spool pieces. The replacement material is on-hand.

A number of penetration seals, both on the roof and in the HRSG floor have been replaced. We will require pricing from Bidders to replace a number of these during this Outage, based on thermal-scan results.

A portion of the Outage work will be performed on a labor and materials basis, and will be determined by inspection findings during the outage.
