- Description
- Supply with Construction Installation Contract: Little Goose Station Service Transformer The work described herein involves the replacement/upgrade of two station service transformers at the Little Goose Lock and Dam, seismic anchoring for replacement transformer, removal of existing firewall and replace with updated firewall, and oil containment. The resulting contract will be a firm-fixed price supply with construction installation contract. 100% performance and payment bonds will be required for the installation/construction elements of the contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this work is 335311, Power, Distribution and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing. The small business size standard is 750 employees. Competition for this solicitation is unrestricted. Solicitation Number W912EF-16-R-0025 will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website on or about 15 June 2016. The proposal due date will be contained in the solicitation and any solicitation amendments that may be issued. Place of Performance is at the Little Goose Lock and Dam located near Dayton, Washington, Columbia County. The contract requires completion of all work within a coordinated on-site installation work window covering a period of approximately four months. On-site work on T01 transformer shall not commence until all work on T02 transformer has been completed, this includes commissioning, acceptance, and placed on line successfully for 7 consecutive days without incident. Background Construction on the Little Goose Lock and Dam was started in June 1963. The installation of power generating unit numbers one through three were completed and began completing power in March of 1970. The installation of generating units four through six were completed and the units began producing power in July of 1978. Little Goose Lock and Dam has two station service transformers. The normal plant line-up has transformer TO1 supplying power to the station service loads and TO2 is off-line. Summary of Work Replace the existing transformers to regain the reliability of the Little Goose station service system due to recent failure of TO1 and the potential issues with TO2 after the incident on August 12, 2014. Replacement will be with 3750kVA, mineral oil-immersed transformer with OLTC on the secondary side. The 3750kVA transformer will have a rated secondary current of approximately 521A and Type MV-105 with an ampactiy 652A feeder cables for TO1 and Type MV-105 with an ampacity of 665 amps feeder cables for TO2. Utilize the existing transformer oil fill and drain lines to eliminate the need for additional systems dedicated to the station service transformers or require additional services in the event a transformer must urgently be drained and filled. Utilize the existing raw water cooling system to cool the replacement transformers. The project does not have environmental controls for the station service bay. Temperatures in this area can reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. Eliminate the environmental and safety issues associated with the existing single wall heat exchangers used to cool the transformers. The current heat exchangers have a potential for a failure of the transformer and possible injury should the tube bundle fail and water leaks into the transformer. The double-tube within an oil immersed transformer employs a leak detector that will detect any fluid in the space between the tubes and tube sheets. A failure of one tube wall will maintain fluid separation with the second wall. Provide on-site customer operations and maintenance training by authorized representatives of the new equipment manufacturers. All on-site work shall be performed in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1). Establish and manage 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, 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 is required for each shift of the contractor's on-site operations. The SSHO shall possess a minimum of 5-years experience in construction safety on similar projects, shall have completed the 30-Hour OSHA Construction Safety training within the last 5 years, and shall have completed at least 24 hours of safety training from accredited safety training sources each year for the past 5 years. Establish and manage an effective Contractor Quality Control (CQC) System that will require the development and submission of a comprehensive project specific CQC Plan for Government acceptance. A CQC System Manager employed by the prime contractor is required to be on-site for each shift of the Contractor's operations. The CQC System Manager must possess a minimum of 5 years relevant experience in a supervisory or management position such as Quality Control Manager, Quality Assurance Manager, or Construction Manager directly involved in the management of construction quality at the project site. In addition, the CQC System Manager shall have completed the course entitled "Construction Quality Management for Contractors" within the last 5 years. 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 capable of operating on a stand-alone personal computer or on a network. The Government will make the QCS software available to the Contractor at time of notice to proceed. The project involves 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, O&M Manuals, Contractor- Prepared Shop Drawings, and spare parts to the customer.
