This procurement is unrestrcted. Competition is full and open. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District intends to issue a construction solicitation for a project titled Lower Monumental Unit 2 Hub Seal Repairs. The work is located at the Lower Monumental Dam in Franklin County, Washington. Lower Monumental Unit 2 Hub Seal Repairs is a construction project to repair a failed seal between the runner hub and turbine shaft connection. The Lower Monumental Main Unit 2 is a vertical hydroelectric turbine-driven generating unit, with the generator manufactured by General Electric and rated at 142,105 kVA. The turbine runner is a 6-blade Kaplan-type rated at 212,400 horsepower (90 rpm), manufactured by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton. This scope of work is to repair the leak found at the turbine shaft to hub flange location. It was determined that the o-ring between the top of the Kaplan hub and the shaft lower flange is the location of the leak. In lieu of replacing the failed o-ring (requiring unit disassembly), the scope of work is to contain leakage by sealing the outer diameter of the shaft flange where it meets the hub. It will also include welded caps for each coupling bolt, and piping at the shaft jacking bolts to contain leaking within the flange face and routing it back to the static oil head. Optional work will include installation of Government furnished blades seals and nose cone gasket. Following repairs to the Unit 2 leak, commissioning support will be required in bringing Unit 2 back to Kaplan.
