U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Northwestern Division. Portland District (NWP) has identified a requirement for the replacement, rehabilitation, and repair of generators and hydraulic turbines in support of the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). This contract will be used by Northwestern Division (NWD) for supplies and services for the rehabilitation and/or replacement of generating equipment at USACE hydroelectric facilities within the NWD Area of Operations (AO) civil boundaries: Portland District, Seattle District, Walla Walla District, Omaha District, and Kansas City District. This contract may also be used to perform emergency non-routine maintenance and assessment at NWD hydroelectric facilities. Lists of the generating units within the NWD are included. See attachment: Tabulation of Generator and Turbine Data for NWD Plants. BPA identified the requirement to expedite the rehabilitation and replacement of deteriorated and failed major mechanical and electrical equipment that experience frequent failures due to an ageing infrastructure. This contract will provide immediate response capacity for failed or suspect equipment that is outside the maintenance cycle. This is critical to the BPA mission to support the power needs of its customers in the Pacific Northwest and operate the electric grid reliably. The time saved via this contract vehicle will aid in providing a swifter response by the Corps to the Northwest Region's energy and environmental concerns.
