Summary of Scope of Work:

The work consists of the following major elements:

Unit 5 at Little Goose Lock & Dam is currently out of service due to excessive vibrations and cracks on the rotor spider and upper bearing bracket. The work covered in this contract includes inspection of the stator core with optional minor repair, inspecting and testing the stator winding and rotor with optional minor winding repairs, conduct a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the rotor structure (including Government proposed strengthening) and providing insight and further recommendations, perform weld repair of cracks in the rotor spider arms and upper bearing bracket, and structural strengthening of the rotor spider.

All rotor spider repair welding is to be done on site, under tightly controlled and monitored pre-heat conditions to avoid damage to or distortion of the rotor rim. To ensure the rotor spider is not under stress due to the rotor rim weight during the spider arm crack repair, the contractor will be required to develop a jacking and cribbing plan to properly support the weight of the rim, without removing the rim from the rotor. In-place machine condition monitoring equipment (air gap, shaft runout) will be installed as part of this work.

This work requires disassembly and reassembly of the hydraulic turbine generator unit. The contractor will be responsible for the inspection and replacement or refurbishment of all major generator and turbine bearings to include the upper generator guide bearing, lower generator guide bearing, thrust bearing, turbine guide bearing, and thrust bearing coolers. The contractor will be responsible for pre-disassembly measurements, as well as post-reassembly measurements and operational testing. The generator is manufactured by General Electric.

Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1).

The Contractor will be responsible for establishing and managing an effective on-site Safety and

Health program in accordance with EM 385-1-1 that will require the development and submission of a comprehensive project specific Accident Prevention Plan for Government acceptance. In addition, the Contractor will be required to develop and submit for Government acceptance Activity Hazard Analyses for each phase of work and a project specific Fall

Protection Plan that comply with EM 385-1-1.

A Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) employed by the prime contractor shall be required for each shift of the contractor’s on-site operations. The SSHO shall possess a minimum of five years experience in construction safety on similar projects, shall have completed the 30-Hour

OSHA Construction Safety training within the last five years, and shall have completed at least

24-hours of formal safety training each year for the past five years.

A qualified Fall Protection Competent Person shall be provided by the Contractor for each shift of the contractor’s on-site operations that involves work that exposes workers to fall hazards.

The Contractor will be required to use the Government-furnished Construction Contractor

Module (referred to as QCS) of the Resident Management System (RMS) to record, maintain, and submit various information throughout the contract period. QCS is a Windows-based program that can be run on a stand-alone personal computer or on a network. The Government will make the QCS software available to the Contractor after contract award.

The project will involve the development and management of Contractor furnished submittals for items such as pre-construction plans, product data, test reports, and contract close-out documentation as required by the technical specifications of the contract.

Miscellaneous work within the project includes the delivery of As-Built Drawings to the USACE prior to final payment and final contract closeout.
