Project Description. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, has a requirement to upgrade of Bonneville Oil Storage Fire Suppression System. The BN1 oil storage room consists of a large concrete vault/basin with access through a single fire door. The existing fire protection system is CO2. The BN2 oil storage room consists of concrete room. The room is accessible through two fire doors. The room contains 5 vertical, atmospheric tanks and a variety of oil drums and pails stored along the wall. Similar to BN1, BN2 is provided with a CO2 fire suppression system. At least one large oil tank will be removed from each oil storage room to make room for the contractor to move the oil purification system for each powerhouse into the OSR. The existing carbon dioxide (CO2) systems in these rooms will be demolished to improve safety and reduce CO2 maintenance requirements. A new Clean Agent fire suppression system using NOVEC 1230 (FK-5-1-12) manufactured by 3M, will be installed. Temporary suitable manual fire protection will be required until the Clean Agent system is operable and accepted. A plans and specs package will be provided, but the contractor will be responsible for detailed design and installation of a Clean Agent system that meets the requirements of UFC 3-600-01, NFPA 2001 and all other applicable codes. Fabrication and installation of material handling equipment, walkways, hoist, supports and platforms for storage of oil drums will be required in Power House 1. Both powerhouses will require the OSRs to be sealed (including HVAC system isolation) and tested for holding the required concentration of Clean Agent for the required timeframe. The Clean Agent system design includes a complete controls, activation and notification system. Contract duration is estimated at 365 calendar days. The estimated Magnitude of Construction for this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. 4. Submission Instructions.
