Summary of Scope of Work: The US Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District is seeking sources for the manufacture, supply of materials and installation of an Oil Water Separator at Ice Harbor Dam. The overall purpose of the project is to make improvements to the oil spill prevention and oil accountability systems at Ice Harbor Dam. The intent is to minimize the amount of oil that reaches the sump by separating any oil from water discharged on the main unit head covers. The separation method is replacing head cover pumps with low shear type pumps which will minimize the oil/water emulsification and route pumped discharge through a gravity type oil water separator. The Contractor shall supply oil water separators to handle the head cover discharge of the 6 main units at the Ice Harbor Project. The requirement includes but is not limited to the following: design; prepare drawings and installation instructions; manufacture and shop test; prepare and load for shipment; deliver f.o.b. destination, and install, make completely operational, test and commission the oil water separator system. The contractor will install head cover disc pumps (64 gpm, 37 feet of head) for the 6 units. Piping will connect the discharge of the pumps to a stainless steel piping header that will run the length of the powerhouse from 2” to 6” diameter to convey the discharge to the inlets of the three 100 gpm oil water separators. Piping that conveys the discharge from the oil water separators will be collected to a single 6” discharge header and connected to existing piping within the drainage sump. Additionally, the contractor will extend the existing baffle system in the drainage sump, which includes about 10 feet of roughly 2’ x 2’ steel diffuser extensions. The contractor will provide on-site customer operations and maintenance training by authorized representatives of the new equipment manufacturers.
