Wolf Creek Turbine Generator Rehab

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Nashville District, is conducting market research for a potential firm fixed-price construction contract to rehabilitate the turbine generator units at Wolf Creek Powerhouse in Jamestown, Kentucky. The estimated magnitude of this project is between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000. The contractor will be responsible for designing, manufacturing, and installing Francis turbines, improving dissolved oxygen levels, rewinding existing generators, and refurbishing associated equipment and components. The project also includes asbestos abatement, which will be performed by others. The time allotted for design and manufacturing of replacement components is estimated to be no more than 37 months, and the time allotted for unit outage is estimated to be no more than 24 months for the first unit and 18 months for the second unit and follow-on units. Some key points to consider: * The project involves the rehabilitation of six turbine generator units. * The contractor will be responsible for designing, manufacturing, and installing new turbines and refurbishing existing generators. * The project includes asbestos abatement, which will be performed by others. * The estimated project duration is 37 months for design and manufacturing and 24 months for unit outage. * The estimated project cost is between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000.
