SPECIAL NOTE: This will be the only opportunity to access the wicket gates in a dewatered condition.

During the solicitation period, a project site visit will be scheduled; however, both generators will be running and the wicket gates will not be accessible. Background: The powerhouse has two main generators powered by vertical Francis type turbine units supplied by Boving & Co. rated at 33,800 hp at a net head of 275 feet. The units were placed in service in the early 1970's. The turbine runner has 17 blades and a discharge diameter of 94 inches. Each unit has 11 stay vanes located around the periphery of 24 wicket gates, each 24.375 inches tall, that control the flow of water from the scroll case to the turbine. The access door into the scroll case is approximately 23.5 inches wide by 35.5 inches tall. At the top and bottom of each wicket gate are bronze seals that are badly worn allowing excessive water leakage when the gates are closed. Each wicket gate seal is approximately 10.5 inches long, 1.25 inches wide, and 1 inch tall. These bronze wicket gate seals are to be replaced to re-establish proper sealing between the wicket gates and the top and bottom rings. The magnitude of this project is between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
