About this file

This document outlines a federal contract opportunity for the replacement of gate operating machinery at Tionesta Dam. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District is soliciting proposals to remove four existing gate operating machines weighing approximately 115 tons each and replace them with new machinery of less than 20 tons utilizing round wire rope. Additional work includes removing existing power receptacles and supplying and installing new receptacles, repairing concrete in the work bay under the operating floor, and supplying a new lifting beam for the new machinery. The contract will be set aside for small businesses and awarded as a firm fixed price contract with a performance period of 720 days from the notice to proceed. The solicitation number is W911WN20B8002 and will be issued on March 23, 2020 through the SAM.gov website. The total estimated cost of the work is between $1,000,000 to $5,000,000.

Ensure the equipment and machinery does not exceed the maximum limiting dimensions as shown on the drawings. Also ensure the complete gate hoisting machinery, including all required lubricants, wire rope, lifting beam, and any slings or other items required to lift the machinery, does not exceed a total weight of 40,000 pounds.

Design equipment in strict accordance with the requirements of EM 1110-2-2610 Mechanical and Electrical Design for Lock and Dam Operating Equipment unless otherwise specified within. Equipment shall be designed for the normal loads using factors of safety applicable to the type of service and the particular part with a minimum factor of safety of 5 based

SECTION 35 01 41.00 08 Page 17 on the ultimate strength of the material. Include all anticipated loads in the design. Loads include, but are not limited to, the loads imposed by the dead weight, hydraulic forces, buoyancy forces, ice, upper and lower connecting links, and seal friction. In addition, design each part or component, including speed reducers (excluding wire rope), for a unit stress not in excess of 75 percent of the yield strength of the material under loads resulting from the locked rotor torque of the electric motor.

Design components that might fail in buckling compression for a minimum factor of safety of 3.0, using the Euler or J.B. Johnson formulas. Apply the factor of safety to the maximum load on the member and the critical buckling load. Model the end fixity coefficient for pin-end conditions.

Both the normal loads and loads resulting from the locked rotor torque of the electric motor shall be considered for gate operating equipment.

Allowances for shock and impact will not be required unless specifically identified. Submit for approval all equipment modification design calculations.

2.4 OPERATION SEQUENCES

2.4.1 Hoisting Machinery Operation

The equipment sequence of operation, interlocks and electrical controls are as indicated. Conform equipment and hardware with the requirements of Section 35 20 20 ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT FOR GATE HOIST.

2.4.1.1 Sequence of Operation

2.4.1.1.1 Gate Opening

a. Motor and brake are energized (brake is released).

b. Motor starts and opens the gate at full speed.

c. Gate position is device proven to be at end of travel.

d. Motor and brake are de-energized (brake is engaged).

2.4.1.1.2 Gate Closing

The sequence for closing the gate is identical to that for opening, except the gate moves in the opposite direction to the closed position.

2.4.1.2 Design Considerations

Normal operations of the dam gates for the purpose of design consist of the dam gates operating through 1 complete cycle per day with 2 starts and 2 stops per cycle. A cycle is defined as moving the dam gate from the fully closed position to the fully opened position and back to the fully closed position.

2.5 SPEED REDUCERS

2.5.1 Gate Hoist Speed Reducer

2.5.1.1 General

The speed reducer shall be of adequate reduction, right angle type, entirely self contained in an oil tight, steel housing designed to maintain shafts and bearings in accurate alignment. Provide the gear

SECTION 35 01 41.00 08 Page 18 ratio as indicated plus or minus 1.5 percent. Provide a horizontal output shaft for position feedback with the gear reducer. Design, rate and manufacture the speed reducers in accordance with AGMA 6013 with all components meeting the requirements of ANSI/AGMA 6001 . The gearing must be rated in accordance with ANSI/AGMA 2003 and ANSI/AGMA 2001 . In all cases where these standards or this specification are in conflict with one another the more conservative design standard takes precedence.

2.5.1.2 Reducer Housing

The reducer housing must be heavy duty cast steel or welded steel construction and have dowel pins at all parting seams for accurate gear and bearing alignment. Split the reducer housing to facilitate disassembly for maintenance and repair. Design the dry well such that the speed reducer can be completely filled with oil while in storage and the oil can be drained out of the dry well when the speed reducer is to be put into service. Design the base thickness and width with adequate rigidity and stiffness to not contribute additional stress on the mounting bolts.

All surfaces must be smooth and flat and easy to clean. Provide the upper and lower housings with large, rugged lifting lugs. Provide all required oil drains, fill ports, breathers, heater ports, filtering ports, and inspection covers in the housing. Provide a main oil drain at the lowest point possible on the reducer housing. Fit the main oil drain with a 1-inch stainless steel ball valve with a pressure-temperature rating of 2000 psig at 100 degrees F. Plug the valve on the open end. Also provide the lower bearings with drainable deepwell bearing end caps as indicated. Locate drain and fill plugs for speed reducers so as to be readily accessible on the completed units and provide with extension piping where required. Manifold and pipe the drains to a single point with a shutoff valve and threaded cap on the exterior of the housing so that it is easily accessible. Internally raise lower bearings within the housing to prevent bearings from being the lowest point in the housings.

Top side inspection covers are not acceptable. Provide side inspection access covers. All dimensions indicated must remain as shown as a minimum for proper machinery alignment.

2.5.2 Gearing

Provide gearing made from high strength alloy steel that is hardened by an appropriate method with subsequent quenching and tempering to produce a through or case hardened gear as deemed appropriate for the application.

Grind the gears after gear cutting to achieve a minimum ANSI/AGMA Quality 11 in accordance with AGMA 2015/915-1 . If using pinions, helical or other, integrally cut the pinions on the pinion shaft. If using spiral bevel gears,make spiral bevel gears from high strength alloy steel with case hardened teeth, crown lapped for quality and smooth operation.

2.5.3 Reducer Shafts
