1. General Description of Work:

Contract Title: Libby Dam DC Boards and Breakers, Libby, MT.

The Seattle District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposes to construct upgrades to Libby Dam DC Boards and Breakers. Libby Dam was completed in 1973 with various replacements and upgrades to the electrical system occurring since then. The existing DC and Preferred AC architecture consists of 125VDC, 24/48VDC, and critical 120VAC systems. These existing systems provide power to loads that are crucial for the project’s operation but lack equipment redundancy. The current system has multiple single points of failure that could affect the plants generation and safety. Furthermore, the equipment is unable to be taken down for maintenance, causing plant personnel and contractors to perform work on energized equipment.

The major features of work include:

125VDC System - existing battery switchboard replacement with two redundant battery switchboards, battery chargers will be replaced with higher capacity chargers (400A) and the 125VDC load centers will be replaced.

24/48VDC System - removal and replacement of the switchboard with an enclosure to house the 125V main battery breaker and load bank connection.

Preferred AC System - inverter will be replaced, and a redundant one will be added. Manual bypass switches are to be added to bypass the inverters. CHO will be removed and replaced with two new redundant switchboards. A redundant bypass transformer and two external manual bypass switches will be added. AC load panels will be replaced and an additional panel will be added. A UPS system will also be added to provide Dam preferred AC.

Battery Room Modification - new pre-fabricated, nonstructural wall, installation of a fireproof door, new ductwork in the battery room to meet ventilation requirements and new spot AC system to meet charger and inverter heat loads in equipment room

2. Disclosure of the Magnitude of Construction:

In accordance with DFARS 236.204(ii) “Disclosure of the Magnitude of Construction Projects,” the magnitude of the project is estimated between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.
