SEED PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK

SEED PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK -”TASK ORDER 0001, OLD HICKORY INTAKE CRANE”

This project consists of replacing the existing 75 Ton Intake Gantry Crane with a new 105 Ton Intake Gantry Crane at Old Hickory Lock and Dam located near Hendersonville, TN. The intake crane provides for the closure of intake gates to close off the water passage for one main unit.

Emergency closure is necessary in the event of turbine head-cover failure, an inadvertently opened or failed access hatch, loss of wicket gate control, or precautionary closures during abnormal operation (ie.

unit overspeed). The crane also provides functions for handling intake gates for unit maintenance and is used for placement of the spillway gate bulkheads.

The contract will require the Contractor to design, manufacture, install, test, and commission the new crane on both primary shore power and emergency diesel generator power. The new crane must be fully commissioned and operational prior to demolition of the existing crane. The work will include the removal of the existing emergency crane which is known to have asbestos containing material and lead based paint (the removal of the existing crane may be performed under separate contract).

This solicitation will use a FAR Part 15.101-1 Best Value Tradeoff Process. Acquisition is anticipated to provide for Full and Open Competition and while this will be an Unrestricted Procurement, as part of the Tradeoff Process a Small Business Participation Plan (SBPP) will be required and evaluated.

Expected contract award is Fall of 2023.

BACKGROUND

The existing Intake Gantry Crane was manufactured by MOFFETT ENG CO. and was completed around 1956, with an original design capacity of 75 tons. The crane was installed to provide the closure of the three intake gates of a unit against unbalanced head in case of runaway turbine, and to handle intake gates as required for unit maintenance. Only one intake gate can be lowered at once. The crane was also designed to perform gate cracking in order to re-water generating units after equalization to tail water elevation.

The existing crane has a single trolley that is equipped with a single 75-ton hoist. The trolley is covered by the fixed machinery house. The lifting beam for the hoist contains the lower load block sheaves and pins (integral to the lifting beam). The gantry is driven on two corners of the crane. The operator’s cab is mounted on the lock side approximately 21 feet above the intake deck elevation of 484.0 FT. Access to the hoist machinery house is by climbing ladders from the operator’s cab.

The existing crane is also equipped with a 10 ton jib hoist mounted on the north east corner of the structure. This hoist is currently inoperable.

GENERAL SCOPE & DESIGN CRITERIA

A new Intake Crane will be designed to replace the function of the original crane and restore reliability of the plant.

The new Intake Crane will be rated at 105 tons and will provide for the individual closure of three intake gates in order to close off the water passage for one main unit in the event of turbine headcover failure, inadvertently opened or failed access hatch, loss of wicket gate control, or precautionary closures during abnormal operation (ie. unit overspeed). The new Intake Crane will also provide a secondary function for handling intake gates and spillway bulkheads for maintenance activities.

The new crane will retain the main hoist capability and add an auxiliary and maintenance hoist. The main hoist will be rated for 105 tons. The hoist performs breakaway of a single gate (routine cracking) during unit re-watering with unbalanced head across the gate. Calculations performed in 2019 showed the crane governing load to be during breakaway at a value of 102.5 tons. To account for condition the main hoist will be rated for 105 tons which accommodates the maximum breakaway loads at unbalanced head across the gate. This rating allows the hoist to safely deploy intake gates into a unit operating at runaway with maximum flow through the unit discharge ring.

Electrical power for the operation of the crane will be supplied by a new cable reel mounted to the crane and for emergencies by the Powerhouse Emergency Diesel Generator. A load study will be performed between the 30% and 60% milestones in order to verify feeder and conductor sizing.

** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($16.20) or 13658 ($12.15). Please see the Note at the top of the wage determination for more information.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour National Office because National Office has responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
