SAD Hydropower SATOC

SAD Hydropower SATOC SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District is conducting market research to identify any/all business sources with the capacity and technical capability necessary to successfully perform the requirements described herein. The subject requirement is to provide for the investigation of failures, repairs and/or replacement of generator components and hydraulic turbine components in support of the Southeastern Power Administration (SEPA). Work will be performed at USACE hydroelectric facilities within the SAD Area of Operations (AO) civil boundaries; Savannah District, Mobile District, Wilmington District and Charleston District. Task orders issued under this SATOC will be used by SAD for supplies and services for the analysis, testing, diagnostics, repair, rehabilitation, and/or replacement of generating equipment. The scope will provide immediate response capacity for failed or suspect equipment that is outside the maintenance cycle. This is critical to the SEPA mission to support power needs of its customers in the Southeast and operate the electric grid reliably. Task orders may also be used to perform emergency non-routine maintenance and assessment at SAD hydroelectric facilities. Lists of the hydropower facilities within SAD will be included in the solicitation. Task Orders will be issued on an as-required basis. General Services. Equipment to be worked on includes major electrical and mechanical equipment required to produce electrical energy from water. Examples of the components related to the power train equipment identified for the work under this contract are as follows: Equipment Type 1. Generators and large (500 hp & over) pump motors. Equipment Type 2. Turbines, large (500 hp & over) pumps, water passage, and closure devices (including their power and control units). Major rehabilitations, replacements, upgrades and installation work, which may occur under this contract, will be principally limited to generators, Kaplan turbines and Francis turbines. Major rehabilitations, replacement, and installation work on motors and pumps will be principally limited to units rated at 500 hp and above. Major rehabilitation, replacement, and installation work on water passage and closure devices (including their power and control units) will be principally limited to main unit equipment. Structural inspections, assessment and analysis of generators and of major equipment foundations may be requested under this contract. ? Types of Services Per Equipment Type.
