About this file
This is an RFI Log documenting questions and responses related to solicitation W9127N-26-Q-A145 for Blade Seals Replacement at Bonneville Dam. The log contains four clarifications issued between September 16 and September 24, 2026, addressing contractor concerns regarding timeline, workforce requirements, and training obligations. A contractor requested a six-week extension beyond the submission deadline due to the complexity of the installation segment; the Government denied the extension, noting that Bonneville Powerhouse 2 requires urgent repairs and that experienced vendors should be capable of pricing seals within the original timeline. Final seal design and dimensions will be finalized through discussions between the awarded contractor and Bonneville Dam engineering immediately following contract award, with the final installed seal required to be one-piece and without adhesives or epoxy.
The log clarifies workforce and training requirements for on-site installation work. While not all personnel must be fluent in English, at least one representative must be fluent in both English and any non-English language spoken by other workers to facilitate safety training translation. All individuals performing the work must be familiar with hydro generator powerhouses and Kaplan blade seal installation procedures. The Government will provide "Affected Persons" training post-award as a mandatory requirement for compliance with the hazardous energy control program (HECP); upon training completion, individuals receive a personal lock and identifying nametag for security clearances at the Bonneville Dam facility.
