- Description
- Statement of Work Background: The Richard B. Russell Powerhouse (abbreviated herein as RB Russell or RBR) and its adjacent switchyard on the Savannah River in Georgia first went on line in 1985 with generating units 1 -4, followed by generating units 5-8 in 1992. The plant presently has an installed capability of roughly 690MW. Power is generated at 13.8kV and stepped up through four GSU transformers to 230kV. Aerial lines take this power to the Richard B. Russell switchyard. The switchyard has a 230kV dual bus system comprised of 11 oil-filled circuit breakers and various disconnect switches. From there, three outgoing aerial lines are provided to the Southeastern Power Administration (SEPA). Existing Conditions: The oil-filled circuit breakers are the original Siemens-Allis units installed between 1983 and 1985. These breakers are becoming difficult to maintain due to age and diminishing availability of replacement parts. They also pose an environmental concern, holding over 57,000 gallons total of insulating oil just several yards away from the edge of the Savannah River. Apart from the breakers, there are no step-up transformers or autotransformers in the switchyard requiring insulating oil. In 2010, Savannah District partnered with Mobile District to purchase 230kV SF6 circuit breakers, which were delivered to Richard B. Russell in April of 2011. Summary of Work: The work to be performed under this Contract consists of providing the labor, equipment, and materials to replace the existing switchyard equipment at the Richard B. Russell Powerhouse. The work includes electrical work and incidental related work including, but not limited to, the following: a. Removal and disposal of existing oil circuit breakers, including oil. b. Removal and disposal of two oil storage tanks and all buried oil piping in switchyard. c. Installation of new, Government-furnished SF6 circuit breakers including replacement of existing control cables in ductbank between the switchyard and the Main & Auxiliary Switchboards in the powerhouse. d. Any required modifications to bus work to accommodate the new breakers. e. Replacement of cabling between the breakers and the switchyard panels. f. Ensuring that Kirk Key Interlock system is properly coordinated. g. Replace weatherproof phone in the switchyard, including cable to the powerhouse. h. Testing of grounding connections at each breaker. i. Infrared scan of the completed switchyard. j. Test of overall ground mat resistance of the completed switchyard. k. Providing as-built corrections to contract drawings, including preparation of full panel wiring diagrams of Main and Auxiliary Switchboard panels affected by this work. Optional Items: a. Replacement of existing disconnect switches and grounding switches with new contractor-furnished switches, including inspection and testing of grounding connections, and furnishing of O&M Manuals and training of Government personnel. b. Replacement of existing metering CT's & PT's with new Contractor-furnished metering sets, including inspection and testing of grounding connections, and furnishing of O&M Manuals and training of Government personnel. c. Replacement of existing synchronizing CCPD's with new Contractor-furnished CCPD's, including inspection and testing of grounding connections, including inspection and testing of grounding connections, and furnishing of O&M Manuals and training of Government personnel. d. Miscellaneous repairs to grounding connections at breakers, disconnects, PT's & CT's, and CCPD's revealed by inspection and testing. e. Replacement of the existing gravel in the switchyard. f. Removal of the concrete pads for the oil storage tanks. g. Preparation of as-existing full panel wiring diagrams of the remaining Main and Auxiliary Switchboard panels. Contact Information: Robert Siegle Project Engineer Richard B. Russell Power Plant 4144 Russell Dam Drive Elberton, Georgia 30635 706-213-3422 Performance Period: The Period of Performance shall be 425 calendar days after a signed Notice to Proceed is issued and acknowledged.
