Description

For each of the 19 spillway gates, provide an engineering study, re-design and replacement installation for two functions: 1)Control -- The spillway gates can be controlled manually from the gate, the SCC board in the operators' Control Room or through DACS. The existing Phoenix equipment located in the SCC boards is outdated and does not provide the reliability required when attempting to control the spillway gates. The new system shall provide control of the spillway gates from the SCC board independent of the existing or future DACS systems. The manual and DACS control methods are not included in this scope-of-work and 2)Telemetry -- The existing Selsyn system provides a 3-phase analog output that represents the mechanical position of the gate (angular relationship between the mechanical position of the spillway gate gear configurations and linear gate opening). The analog electrical signal is transmitted from the spillway to the powerhouse via a twisted pair cable. The gate position information is displayed in the Control Room where the receiving Selsyns are located. A digital synchro-converter, also located in the Control Room, converts the signal into a digital format providing gate positional information into the DACS. Due to inconsistent mechanical linkage, the system requires frequent zeroing to maintain the required signal accuracy. The new system shall provide an accurate, reliable, compatible, and timely signal to the DACS. This Solicitation will be issued as an Electronic Bid Set (EBS) on CD-ROM format only. EBS CD-ROM disks with plans and specs available on or about 21 March 2001 at no charge per set. EBS CD-ROM disks will be issued on a first come, first served basis until supply is exhausted. No phone requests accepted. Refer to IFB Number DACW67-01-B-0009 when registering.
