PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Garrison Dam Spillway Gates Nondestructive Testing

1.0 General Information.

1.1 Background.

1.1.1 Garrison Dam is located on the Missouri River near the town of Riverdale, North Dakota. The spillway is located on the left descending bank between the embankment and the powerhouse. The spillway flows are controlled by 28 radial Tainter gates which are 40 feet wide by 31 feet high. The Tainter gates were constructed in

1952 and 1953. The structural steel was specified as Federal Spec QQ-S-741 Grade A, Class I, Type II which has specified minimum yield stress of 32 ksi, minimum tensile strength of 58 ksi, and weldability similar to ASTM A36.

1.1.2 In 1998, ASTM A36 structural steel plates and shapes were welded to the gate arm struts and vertical ribs to increase capacity for loads due to wave action and trunnion bearing friction. Structural steel diagonal braces were welded to the end frames to resist forces caused by trunnion bearing friction and wave action.

1.1.3 In 2015, a painting contract was awarded that also required a Certified Weld Inspector (CWI) to perform visual inspections of all fillet welds and a technician certified for ASNT SNT-TC-1A for Level II to perform magnetic particle testing (MT) of fillet welds with paint removed. A few fillet welds were not accessible for MT.

Cracked fillet welds on fracture critical members were excavated and repaired. Numerous fillet welds were reported to be undersized or to have some minor degree of undercut or lack of fusion. Because the fillet welds with minor deficiencies such as undersize, undercut or lack of fusion have relatively low stress they were judged to not be a priority for repair.

1.1.4 The 2015 contract also required a technician certified for ASNT SNT-TC-1A for Level II to perform ultrasound testing (UT) of complete joint penetration (CJP) welds with paint removed. The UT observed lack of fusion and/or incomplete penetration in almost all of the CJP welds.

1.1.5 The 2015 inspection observed corrosion with section loss on the bottom surfaces of the trunnion girder anchor flanges near their embedment in concrete.

1.1.6 The 2015 inspections noted that the cast-steel trunnion hubs were observed to have highly irregular surfaces.

1.1.7 At the connections of skinplate assemblies to the upstream flanges of the girders, erection bolts were removed and the holes filled with weld metal (herein referred to as plug welds). The 2015 MT of base metal surrounding the plug welds did not report any cracks. No attempt was made to use ultrasound to test the interior of the weld metal or the fusion zone.

1.2 Scope of Work. This is a non-personal services contract to provide nondestructive testing, paint removal and touchup painting on two of the Garrison Dam Spillway Gates, and strain gauge testing on one of the gates with the two additional gates as options. The intent of this contract is to more accurately determine sizes and locations of previously reported flaws in the Spillway Gates at Garrison Dam so that a Fitness For Service (FFS) analysis may be performed by the government to determine if the defects need to be repaired. NDT methods will include visual inspection, shear wave ultrasound, phased array ultrasound, magnetic particle testing, and dye penetrant testing.

Work will also use phased array ultrasound to measure extent of loss due to corrosion of steel plates where plates are embedded in concrete. Testing will require removal of vinyl paint at the locations to be tested and re-coating with a vinyl paint system. Work will be on the downstream side of the gates with the gates closed. Shielding of work areas from gate seal leakage may be required. Access to the locations to be tested will require spillway apron access. One gate will have strain gauges installed in the dewatered position, and then re-watered and exercised to determine stress in the end frames and horizontal girders during normal operating conditions. The government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn is responsible to the government. This is a firm fixed priced, performance based service contract where the government defines and measures desired outcomes, while contractor methods are generally not constrained or directed.

1.3 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be through 30 September 2020. Field work shall not be performed during the winter exclusion period in paragraph 1.3.1. Due to the potential for water releases through the spillway in 2019, the spillway may not be available for field activities to commence until the end of September

2019. Due to the anticipated project timeline, the field work is expected to be completed in 2020.

1.3.1 Winter Exclusion Period: From 31 October 2019 through 15 April 2020, field work will not be completed.

1.4 Contractor Personnel

1.4.1 The contractor shall perform the preponderance of work under this contract using his or her own forces except as provided in Paragraph 1.4.2 Subcontracting. Employees who perform this work shall be qualified persons on the contractor’s own payroll. Personnel are required to be at least 18-years old and qualified to perform the work.

1.4.2 Subcontracting. Subcontracting is permissible for work performed under this contract with written approval of the Contracting Officer. Compliance with the provisions of this contract by subcontractors shall be the responsibility of the contractor.

5.1.3 Complete all required submittals (see specification submittal register).

5.1.4 Conduct site visit to Garrison Dam to perform NDT of spillway gates.

5.1.5. Submit NDT report.

5.2 Personnel Qualifications. All persons conducting visual weld inspections will be certified weld inspectors in accordance with AWS D1.1. All persons conducting magnetic particle tests, dye penetrant tests, or ultrasound tests are required to be certified to the provisions of ANSI/ASNT CP-189, and all Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technicians shall be qualified in accordance with this standard to Level II or III for each applicable method. Submit inspector qualifications. Additionally, submit NDT Equipment Calibration Records for all NDT equipment used.

PAUT inspection will be a custom Ultrasonic Testing scan, using a calibration standard with known flaws.

5.3 Access. The spillway gates are located on top of a concrete weir and beneath a highway bridge. The spillway slab downstream from the weir is normally free of flowing water. Access to the downstream side of the gates will require the contractor to use a crane to lift structures or equipment needed for access to the areas of the gates to be tested. If right-of-way is required on the roadway on the bridge above the work area, submit a traffic control plan.

5.4 Care of Water. Work will be performed with the gates closed. Expect some leakage of the gate side seals and need to protect areas to be tested from water due to leakage. If the Government is required to release water through the spillway, gates other than those where the contractor is working will be opened. Opening of other gates is not expected to appreciably raise the water level downstream of the weir at a nearby closed gate.

The stoplogs shall be placed in a stoplog slot upstream of a tainter gate. The tainter gate shall be raised several inches to allow the area behind the stoplog upstream of the gate to drain. Only Government personnel shall install stoplogs and operate the gates. Contractor shall take note of how well the existing stoplog seals function. Contractor shall propose method to manage leakage around the stoplogs and gate to avoid negatively impacting the work to be performed. Any water spray control, once the stoplogs are installed, shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

5.5 Paint Removal. The Garrison Dam spillway gates were commercial blast cleaned and coated with a vinyl paint system in 2014. Remove paint to the minimum extent required for NDT at each weld to be tested. Special care shall be taken to prevent chemicals, materials, debris, etc from falling into the water or contaminating the environment.

Dry sanding, grinding or other methods that may generate airborne dust or conceal surface cracks are prohibited.

5.6. Disposal. Nonhazardous waste must be stored in closed containers separate from hazardous waste storage areas.

Hazardous waste must be placed in properly labeled closed containers. Any evidence of improper storage is cause for immediate shutdown of the project until corrective action is taken. The Contractor is responsible for arranging transportation of solid waste off Government property and any costs associated with disposal in compliance with

Federal, State, and local requirements for solid waste disposal. Contractor shall supply COR with hazardous waste manifest 24 hours in advance of removal of hazardous waste from site.

5.7 Nondestructive Testing of Complete Joint Penetration (CJP) Welds. Submit the proposed NDT methods to describe the inspection procedures and practices in detail for all inspection processes including VT, MT, UT and
