PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Generator Bearing Refurbishment

Part 1 General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Generator Bearing Refurbishment. 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.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary for thrust bearing refurbishment as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

Refurbish means removing the existing babbitt, pouring new babbitt, babbitt machining including the provision of oil supply grooves and other detail.

1.2 Background: Hydrodynamic thrust bearings support the axial load of a generating unit on a thin film of oil.

Guide bearings radially support and help center the shaft of a generating unit. Under the thin film of oil is a babbitt material that is soft and erodes easily to prevent the formation of high spots allowing the oil to remain the bearing surface even after wear. The babbitt material is the wear or “sacrificial” component and requires replacement when damaged. All of Chief Joseph Dam generating units has hydrodynamic thrust bearings and guide bearings with babbitt. Recently thrust bearing and guide bearing failures have been discovered in General Electric Units. The spare set of guide bearings has been put into service and therefore the currently damaged set need to be refurbished to become the spare.

This contract is for refurbishment of a set of Chief Joseph Dam General Electric generator guide bearing shoes, with the option to refurbish additional sets of guide bearing shoes, and option to refurbish sets of thrust bearing shoes.

A set of guide bearing segments consists of 20 segments, which are segments of a circle. Each bearing segment is made of steel with a babbitt material covering. The refurbishment shall return the bearing segments to the dimensional tolerances in attached reference drawing CJP-O&M-387.

A set of thrust bearing shoes consists of 14 shoes which are annular wedges. Each shoe is made of steel with a babbitt material covering. Each shoe, with Babbitt, is estimated at 150 lbs. each, or 2100 lbs. for the entire set. The refurbishment shall return the shoes to the dimensional tolerances in attached reference drawing 2-55311-00.

1.3 Objectives:

Base Items: (Base Guide Bearing Shoe Set)

Round trip shipping of guide bearing shoes set to and from Chief Joseph Dam.

5.5.1. General

The babbitt to base metal bond shall be examined using the Ultrasonic Test (UT) and Liquid Penetrant (PT) method of nondestructive testing. The Pulse-Echo Method of UT inspection shall be employed. Examination shall be made from the babbitt side and 100 percent of the babbitted area shall be inspected. UT examination shall be performed in accordance with the applicable portions of ASTM E 114 or of Article 5 of the ASME BPVC V. The UT procedure which is to be used shall be submitted for approval. The Government at its discretion may witness any and all inspections.

5.5.2. UT Inspectors Qualifications

5.5.2.1. Examination of the Babbitt Bonding

An examination of the babbitt bonding shall be performed by an approved independent testing laboratory that is regularly engaged in nondestructive testing, or it may be performed using Contractor personnel. For examinations performed by Contractor personnel offsite, a representative from an approved independent testing laboratory shall be present during the examination to witness and certify the results.

For examinations performed by Contractor personnel on Government property, the Government may request the presence of an independent laboratory at its discretion.

The laboratory shall be a member in good standing of the American Council of Independent Laboratories (ACIL). The laboratory shall be mutually agreeable between the Government and the Contractor. Prior to the performance of any tests, the laboratory name, location and qualifications shall be submitted for approval as part of NDT Personnel/Laboratory Qualifications.

5.5.2.2. Technician(s)

Technician(s) performing the inspection shall be certified in accordance with the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT). The inspector who is performing the UT inspection or who is acting as a representative from an independent testing lab shall, as a minimum, be NDT:ASNT-TC-1A level 2 qualified, with a minimum of 3 years experience at Level 2 in the last 5 years. Prior to the performance of any tests, the inspector's qualifications shall be submitted for approval as part of NDT Personnel/Laboratory Qualifications. The inspector shall locate bonded and unbonded areas on the "Reference Blocks" in the presence of the Government's quality assurance representative.

5.5.3. Equipment

a. Search Unit.

1) All testing of the babbitt bond shall be performed with a 2.25 MHz or 5 MHz longitudinal wave crystal.

2) Transducer diameter shall be between 0.25 inch and 1 inch.

3) Transducer gloves or delay lines shall be made of Lucite or other materials with similar sonic properties.

b. Couplants used for testing shall be either lightweight oil or glycerin, the viscosity of which is no more than SAE 30 oil.

c. Reference Blocks.

1) A reference block shall consist of a soundly babbitted steel block with a scanning surface and babbitt thickness representative of the shoes being tested. The block shall be used to set the sensitivity of the instrument. A reference block with artificially unbonded areas shall be provided for comparison of indications for areas showing bond and lack of bond.

2) Test sensitivity shall be such that the babbitt-to-base material interface is readily identified on the CRT. Details of sensitivity calibration and determination of bonded and unbounded areas shall be defined in the UT procedure.

3) Reference blocks shall be kept available for frequent reference during actual testing.

5.5.4. Procedure

The entire babbitt surface of each shoe segment shall be scanned, overlapping scan paths by at least 20 percent of the effective transducer width. Scanning rates shall not exceed 3 inches per second. Unbonded babbitt areas will result in an increase in the size of the reflection or indications of multiple reflections at the interface of the babbitt and base metal. Babbitted areas located over anchoring dovetail grooves will be excluded from UT inspection. All unbonded babbitted areas shall be carefully scanned to determine their size and configuration. The outside edges of all unbonded areas shall be marked on the surface of the Babbitt and recorded on inspection sheets.

5.5.5. Liquid Penetrant (PT) Testing

a. After the ultrasonic testing is completed all exposed babbitt to backing material bond lines, including dovetails if applicable, shall be examined with the liquid penetrant (PT) method.

This shall be done using a solvent-removable visible dye. The purpose of the PT bond line examination is to define the babbitt to backing material bond at edges, which the UT examination may not reveal. The PT method that the Contractor proposes to use shall be submitted for approval and shall be in accordance with ASTM E 165. Lack of bond indications greater than ¾ inches in length shall be marked on the bearing shoes and mapped on inspection reports or documented in photos.

b. The surface area of the babbitt, including oil grooves, shall be PT examined for cracks and any and all indicated cracks recorded on inspection sheets or documented in photos.

5.5.6. Acceptance Standards

Babbitt bond acceptance criteria are defined below as a function of zones and the bearing backing material:

a. Perimeter & Holes. Zone defined as bond surface area within 1 inch from any edge or hole having an exposed bond line.
