DESCRIPTION OF WORK: Dworshak Dam is located in central Idaho on the North Fork of the Clearwater River at 1.9 miles above the confluence with the Clearwater River. The dam is a straight axis concrete gravity dam with a maximum height of 717 ft. It is the third tallest dam in the United States. It was constructed between 1966 and 1972. Dworshak project has authorized purposes of hydropower and flood risk reduction. Normal outflows are made through three regulating outlet conduits that discharge into the spillway chute or through the three powerhouse turbines. Additional releases are made through the spillway, which is controlled by two Tainter gates. At Dworshak Dam excessive leakage is occurring at the monolith 16/17 joint drain. Excessive flows from this drain has been an ongoing problem and flows are increasing. The amount of flow and consistent increase in flow indicates that erosion of the foundation or concrete is occurring. While there is not an eminent threat, this does present a dam safety concern. Repair is necessary before the problem becomes worse. Additionally, repair will decrease long-term pumping and maintenance costs and allow for better monitoring of flows in the dam. Repair work will consist of two major tasks: (1) grouting in the monolith joint and foundation rock to stop the leakage; and (2) reestablishing any foundation drains that become grouted closed. The grouting will attempt to stop the leakage by sealing within the monolith joint and intersecting rock fractures that are causing the flow. Some of the foundation drains may be grouted closed during the work requiring reestablishment. A site visit will be offered approximately 2 weeks after the solicitation is posted.
