b. Submittals called for by the contract documents will be listed on the register. If a submittal is called for but does not pertain to the contract work, the Contractor is to include the submittal in the register and annotate it "N/A" with a brief explanation.

1.9 DISAPPROVED OR REJECTED SUBMITTALS

Contractor shall make corrections required by the Contracting Officer. If the Contractor considers any correction or notation on the returned submittals to constitute a change to the contract drawings or specifications; notice as required under the clause entitled, "Changes," is to be given to the Contracting Officer. Contractor is responsible for the dimensions and design of connection details and construction of work.

Failure to point out deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal of such work at the Contractor's expense.

If changes are necessary to submittals, the Contractor shall make such revisions and submission of the submittals in accordance with the procedures above. No item of work requiring a submittal change is to be accomplished until the changed submittals are approved.

Samples not approved will also be returned to the Contractor at its expense, if so requested.

Failure of any materials to pass the specified tests will be sufficient cause for refusal to consider, under this contract, any further samples of the same brand or make of that material. Government reserves the right to disapprove any material or equipment which previously has proved unsatisfactory in service.

Samples of various materials or equipment delivered on the site or in place may be taken by the Contracting Officer for testing. Samples failing to meet contract requirements will automatically void previous approvals.

Contractor to replace such materials or equipment to meet contract requirements.

REPLACEMENT GOVERNOR DISTRIBUTING VALVES

1.2 GENERAL INFORMATION

This section specifies the requirements for reverse engineering, incorporation of design changes and supplying replacement valve sets for the gate distributing valves of main unit hydraulic governors.

1.2.1 General

The Contractor shall reverse engineer, incorporate design changes, fabricate and supply the items described in this section as new replacement parts for the hydraulic governors located at Chief Joseph Dam located on the Columbia River.

Chief Joseph powerhouse has 27 main unit governors. There are 3 families of units at the project. Units 1-16 are Woodward MOD II Electro-Mechanical

PID governors. However, there are slight differences in the units as follows: Units 1-4, 15 and 16 were original 1950’s Woodward mechanical cabinets upgraded in the 1980's. Units 5-14 were original 1950’s Allis

Chalmers mechanical governors upgraded to Woodward Mod II's in the 1980's, to include the main hydraulic valve. And Units 17-27 are Voest-Alpine electro-hydraulic governors. As of September 2017 all 27 unit governors have been upgraded to American Governor’s digital operation and control systems.

An existing valve from each family shall be reverse engineered. One replacement valve set shall be fabricated for each governor family.

The valve sets will incorporate a design change to the spool and stem for part stability and robustness, see attached drawings.

A replacement valve set consists of the spool & bushing, servomotor plunger, valve stem, nuts and pins for the gate distributing valves of main unit governors.

Contactor shall provide all necessary materials, equipment and labor to reverse engineer one valve set for each family. And fabricate one valve set for each family. New parts shall be shipped to Chief Joseph Project

1.2.2 WORK DESCRIPTION

A summary of the work to be performed is located below:

1) Reverse engineer gate distributing valve sets and submit fabrication drawings for each family of governors with design change.

2) Fabricate one gate distributing valve set consisting of spools, bushings, plungers and servomotor stems for each family of governors.

3) Submit Inspection Reports of fabricated gate distributing valves.

4) Preparation for shipment, labeling and packaging, and shipment of replacement valve sets to Chief Joseph Powerhouse.

5) (Optional) Fabricate, inspect and ship additional gate distributing valve sets (one for each family) at the option of the

Government.

1.2.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE

The Contractor shall have the capability to manufacture governor valves which meet the performance criteria specified in IEEE 125. Replacement parts for the governor distributing valves shall be supplied from a qualified machine shop having 2+ years’ experience manufacturing and application of hydropower hydraulic governor components for distributing valves including but not limited to distributing valve plungers, bushings, servomotor stems and plungers. The Contractor shall demonstrate experience manufacturing of precision governor parts with tolerances of 0.0001 inches or smaller, including design features of bushing oil port location and geometry, and precision machined plungers. The replacement parts shall be equal or tighter tolerances as Chief Joseph Powerhouse governor distributing valve original manufacturer dimensions and tolerances.
