PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

INDEX

1. General

2. Technical Scope of Work

1. General: Recently the water seal began leaking on the hoist serving service gate No. 4. The packing seat is broken with a significant portion having fallen into the tunnel below. The packing seal is partially gone, allowing water to leak into the Intake Structure, thus disabling the use of the gate. An emergency gate is now in place upstream of this service gate to prevent water from leaking into the Intake Structure. This Contracts’ scope of work includes removal of the cylinder, investigate the reason for loss of the packing seat and seal, determine whether any damage has occurred, then furnish and install a new packing seal set, a new alloy water packing seat and six (6) alloy socket head cap screws, and four (4) alloy socket head cap screws. The water packing seat will require fabrication at a machine shop equipped to spin cast and machine alloy parts. See Section 01330 for submittals on these items.

In general, the work shall proceed as outlined in the Technical Scope of Work below. Note that this scope of work provides a description of the required work order, but may not address every step required for successful completion of the work. In some cases removal and replacement of ancillary items may be required but not stated in the scope of work.

2. Technical Scope of Work:

2.1 All logistical steps indicated in this Technical Scope of Work are only suggestions by the USACE. The Contractor is fully responsible to repair the water packing seat and seal according to their own expertise and liability. The final result should be a fully-functioning service gate #4. Prior to the start of any work, the Contractor shall meet with Tri-Lakes Project Office personnel to review all aspects of this contract. This meeting will conclude with a walk-thru inspection at the work site. This inspection is to protect the Contractor and the Government from any disputes of equipment damage or abuse. Notes and / or pictures shall be taken of the condition of equipment that will be used by the Contractor and other equipment in the general area that might appear to have some existing damage or show signs of use.

Representatives of both the Government and the Contractor shall sign the inspection report.

The Contractor shall then be free to proceed with the work.

2.2 Government personnel will train the Contractor in the operation of the gate No. 4 hydraulic cylinder. Only the gate No. 4 hoist will be operated. Under no circumstances will other hydraulic cylinders be operated.

2.3 Remove gate No. 4 well covers, cover supports beams and install on site the Government handrail system at the upper operating level.

2.4 Inspect the smaller 7-1/2 ton overhead bridge crane and prepare it to remove the cylinder from its mounting. The larger 15 ton crane cannot access the cylinder center line, and shall not be used.

2.5 Transport tools and a clean oil drum and / or 5 gallon buckets to contain removed oil.

2.6 Take the Government furnished spanner wrench and any other required tools up the tunnel to remove the lower leaf nut recess cover plate and the lower alloy leaf nut. The Contractor should expect that some or all of the recess cover cap screws will be “frozen” in place, causing difficulty in removing the access cover plate. The Government will position the gate on blocks to allow removal of the nut.

2.7 The Contractor should anticipate that there will be some water leakage past the emergency gate and thus some water in the tunnel.

2.8 Attach rigging to the stem extension at the top of the cylinder using the Government furnished threaded eye bolt while the gate is still in the lowered position.

2.9 Using the hydraulic system, completely retract (raise) the hydraulic cylinder stem. This will push the top stem extension shaft out of the service gate and top out the piston. Note: The control valves at the operating floor are spring return to open centers.

2.10 Once retracted, close the ball valves at the wall.

2.11 Oil in the cylinder does not need to be removed for weight, but there are no isolation valves at the cylinder, and the hydraulic hoses connected to the cylinder are not long enough to allow the cylinder to be raised with the hoses still connected. With the gate stem fully retracted (raised), oil shall be drained from the cylinder by removing the cap or air vent at the very bottom of the lower pipe connection (just above the bucket). As the oil is being removed it shall be collected and placed into clean containers. (There is approximately 300 gallons of oil in the cylinder when in the retracted (raised) position.) No attempt shall be made to disconnect the hoist hydraulic hoses until the crane has been attached to the upper stem extension, the gate stem is in the fully raised position and the oil has been removed from the cylinder. The Contractor shall be responsible for the loss or spill of oil. If oil is spilled the Contractor shall clean all concrete surfaces and items covered with a solvent solution.

2.12 With the hoist connected to the stem extension, the stem fully retracted and the oil removed from the cylinder, the upper hydraulic hose shall be disconnected from the cylinder and the lower hydraulic hose shall be disconnected from the hydraulic piping, adjacent to the isolation valve. The free end of the lower hydraulic hose shall be connected to the cylinder upper hose connection. The free end of the upper hydraulic hose shall be connected to the lower hydraulic piping. This will cause the cylinder and the piping to be “looped” preventing leakage of oil from both the piping system and the cylinder.

2.13 With the crane still connected to the stem extension, relax the pull from the crane (approximately 10 inches.) Remove three (3) brass studs equally spaced around the upper flange of the cylinder / cylinder head assembly. Install three (3) Contractor furnished 7/8” lifting eyebolts which are capable of lifting the required load. Contractor furnished rigging and / or slings shall be installed between the newly installed lifting eyebolts and the central clevis, making sure that the rigging does not interfere with the cylinder head. The crane should now be set up to lift the cylinder and bonnet cover assembly from the cylinder upper flange, and the gate stem and piston assembly from the stem extension.

2.14 Remove the forty-two (42) 1-5/8” diameter bonnet cover nuts from the studs taking care not to damage the gasket between the bonnet and the bonnet seat plate. Nuts and gasket shall be safely stored to prevent misplacing, loss, or damage until reinstallation.

2.15 Using the 7-1/2 ton crane, raise the entire cylinder assembly approximately 6 feet or until the bottom of the stem is above the bonnet seating plate.

2.16 Crib up to each end of the bonnet and lower the hoist down to rest on the cribbing. For safety: crib up as the hoist is rising. Contractor shall furnish and transport all cribbing. Lifted assembly shall at all times remain attached and “snugged” to the 7-1/2 ton crane, even when the hoist is cribbed.

2.17 Cover the opening in the floor with plywood and / or tarps for safety and to keep from dropping parts or tools into the gate well. Any items dropped shall be retrieved by the Contractor.

2.18 The Contractor shall investigate to determine how much of the water packing seat is still in place and whether any damage has been done to the gate stem. Any visible damage shall be reported to the Contracting Officers Representative.

2.19 The upper gate leaf nut and spacer can now be removed. MARK OR MEASURE THE POSITION OF THE LEAF NUT IN RELATION TO THE END OF THE GATE STEM. Record the information.

2.20 Remove remaining piece(s) of the water packing seat and the six (6) socket head cap screws from the bottom of the bonnet. Chase / clean the threads in the bottom of the bonnet for the new lower packing seat socket head cap screws.

2.21 Raise the entire assembly slightly to allow for the removal of cribbing and the temporary cover over the gate slot. Lower the entire assembly showing care to align the bolt holes of the bonnet and the bonnet seat plate to facilitate the bolting of the bonnet back into place and to align the gate stem such that it is not damaged during the lowering operation.

2.22 Install the forty-two (42) 1-5/8” diameter bonnet cover nuts from the studs taking care not to damage the gasket between the bonnet and the bonnet seat plate.

2.23 Remove the twenty (20) 1-3/4” diameter stud bolt holding the bonnet to the cylinder.

Lift the cylinder/head assembly using care to continue to align the stem during the lift. Raise the assembly to the point that the threads in the stem for the lower leaf nut move past the water packing seat such that there is room to remove it. Use care not to damage the cylinder gasket.

If the cylinder gasket becomes damaged, it shall be replaced by the Contractor. Use care not to damage the oil packing gland, oil packing seat, or the oil packing. If any of the aforementioned items becomes damaged, it shall be replaced by the Contractor.

2.24 Install the new water packing seat using the four (4) brass 7/8” studs.

2.25 Lower the cylinder/head assembly using care to align the gate stem such that the brass seat is not damaged. Align the bolt holes between the cylinder and the bonnet cover and reattach the cylinder/head assembly to the bonnet cover using the twenty (20) 1-3/4” diameter stud bolts.

2.26 Remove the forty-two (42) 1-5/8” diameter bonnet cover nuts from the studs taking care not to damage the gasket between the bonnet cover and the bonnet seat plate.

Nuts and gasket shall be safely stored to prevent misplacing, loss, or damage until reinstallation.

2.27 Using the 7-1/2 ton crane, raise the entire cylinder assembly approximately 6 feet or until the bottom of the stem is above the bonnet seating plate.

2.28 Crib up to each end of the bonnet and lower the hoist down to rest on the cribbing. For safety: crib up as the hoist is rising. Contractor shall furnish and transport all cribbing. Lifted assembly shall at all times remain attached and “snugged” to the 7-1/2 ton crane, even when the hoist is cribbed.

2.29 Install the new water packing seals and new packing seat using the six (6) new 7/8” - 9 UNC socket head cap screws (part number 9.423). Install new cap head screws into bonnet with semi-permanent thread locker.

2.30 Reinstall the top leaf nut to the stem USING THE PREVIOUS POSITION INFORMATION. Reinstall the existing spacer. Tape the spacer to the leaf nut to keep it from slipping off while the stem is reinserted into the gate. If top of gate has broken pieces laying on it, they shall be retrieved. If opening is too narrow, then a tin scoop shall be fabricated on a 1/2 inch diameter length of conduit and used for retrieval.

2.31 Prior to lowering and reseating the cylinder assembly the Contractor and Government personnel shall inspect all work on the cylinder, the bonnet gasket and the condition of the top of the service gate.

2.32 If satisfactory, the hoist can be lowered, reseating the bonnet and reinserting the gate stem into the service gate. Provide 2 beads of water-proof sealant between the bonnet cover and the bonnet seating plate. The bonnet nuts shall be reinstalled and torqued evenly and all connection to the cylinder can be restored. Government personnel shall be present until the bonnet is seated.

2.33 The Contractor shall again travel up the tunnel to reinstall the gate leaf nut and cover plate.

2.34 The Contractor will be responsible for refilling with oil and bleeding the air out of the hydraulic system to the satisfaction of the Government. It may be desirable to try and prefill what equipment one can with oil to the extent possible. Air vent valves are available on the piping at appropriate locations. Old oil may be reused or it can be recycled and new oil added.

New or used oil must be filtered thru a 5 micron filter prior to added to the system. Hydraulic oil shall be Chevron Rykon Premium Oil ISO 32.

2.35 With a Government representative present, test the operation of the gate and cylinder while bleeding any air from the system.

2.36 Upon satisfactory completion of the project, all work areas shall be cleaned and restored to their previous state. Access hatches shall be reinstalled. The Contractor shall lightly brush touch up the paint on any disturbed coating areas on the cylinder that were disturbed under this contract only. The silver colored paint is aluminum based enamel and any other areas shall be alkyd based enamel. Color shall match the existing.
