Opportunity text
Los Alamos County is seeking a qualified Contractor to furnish and install two new overhead hoist cranes that sit on a stationary structure at the Abiquiu Hydroelectric Power Plant. The plant sits at the base of the Abiquiu Dam and utilizes the outlet works where water flows directly into the Rio Chama in Northern New Mexico. The existing cranes are rated approximately two tons each and are inadequate for the lifting requirements associated with operation of the PRV gates. Each crane provides lifting support for one of the two gates, which are not lifted simultaneously. The project will replace the existing cranes with two new cranes; each rated for five tons.
