Description of Work (physical characteristics): OVERVIEW: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Seattle District, requires replacement of an existing CO2 Fire Suppression System with a water mist system and modernization of an existing CO2 Fire Suppression System at Chief Joseph Dam, WA. Project work area access is restricted by the adjacency of the Powerhouse and the dam, and restrictions on the use of cranes, lifts and other equipment in the proximity of energized overhead transmission lines, transformers and transformer bus lines. DEMOLITION/DECONSTRUCTION: Removal of the existing CO2 system in the Oil Storage Room, Oil Purification Room, Station Service Transformer Vault, Main Generating Units and Station Service Units at Chief Joseph Dam, WA. This includes but is not limited to the mechanical piping and the electrical features as well as the CO2 bottles themselves. The firing heads on the CO2 bottles, however, shall remain the property of the Government. FIRE PROTECTION & ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION: Modernize existing high-pressure CO2 systems and replace with a new water mist fire protection system. The existing CO2 systems in the Oil Storage Room, Oil Purification Room, and Station Service Transformer Vault will be replaced with water mist to improve safety and reduce maintenance requirements due to CO2. The CO2 systems within the main units and station service unit's generator housings will remain in place, but will be modernized to bring these systems in conformance with current NFPA code requirements. The magnitude of construction is estimated to be between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The resulting contract will be firm-fixed-price.
