The US Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District is seeking sources provide all materials, tools, equipment, and labor necessary to fabricate and deliver components for six (6) wicket gate locks as defined in the Scope of Work (will be provided during the solicitation period). The Contractor shall perform all fabrication to industry standards. Background: Generator Units 4-6 at Little Goose and Lower Granite Dam powerhouses were originally equipped with automatic wicket gate locks. The original design consists of a horizontally installed wedge actuated by a hydraulic cylinder. Throughout the years, the locks have been either modified or partially removed on some of the units in both project locations. The modifications to the mechanism have caused it to not function as originally intended in addition to making its operation inconsistent from unit to unit. The original wedge type locks have been removed on some units as this style lock could be overpowered by the force of the servos. Scope: New lock mechanism consists of a horizontal lock that slides a block in place to prevent movement of the servo. The lock will be operated by a spring-extend hydraulic cylinder such that the lock is held open by governor pressure and extends to the locked position upon loss of pressure. The lock will utilize a spring to extend the cylinder. The spring will be located within the hydraulic cylinder and will be an off the shelf unit for ease of installation and maintenance. The existing stop plate will be used to hold the servo in place, once in place, the lock will have the ability to be locked out to stop the block from being retracted until the clearance is lifted utilizing an isolation valve on the hydraulic oil. The new lock will be installed on existing components utilizing existing pin and screw holes.
