This oil shall be closely representative to the oil being offered in the bid. 1.3.7 GOVERNMENT TESTING The Government plans to send one gallon of the lowest bid technically qualified contractors oil in a generically marked container to an independent laboratory for compatibility testing with our in-service oil. The compatibility testing will be performed at no charge to the prospective bidder. If the submitted oil sample is found to be incompatible with the in-service oil, this oil will not be further considered in the Contract awarding process. 1.3.8 POST AWARD Final Certification and test data, G Schedule delivery date, details in PART 3. The certifications for the 5000-gallon oil shall be submitted to the Government at least 30 days before the proposed date of oil delivery. PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.1 GENERAL PROPERTIES The turbine oil shall be a blend of virgin petroleum-based lubricating oil stocks plus additives, free of zinc and chlorine, resulting in a high-grade turbine oil having anti-rust, anti-oxidation and anti-foaming properties suitable for use in hydraulic tu rbines, generator bearings, Kaplan turbine hubs and related applications. 2.2 VISCOSITY The oil viscosity should fall within the range as specified in TABLE 2. 2.3 CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS. The turbine oil shall conform to the requirements established in TABLE 2 when tested according to the standards indicated there. 2.3.1 DEGRADATION The physical and chemical properties of the oil shall not be degraded (changed from specified values in Table 2) by filtration through mechanical type filters, by centrifugal purification, or by vacuum type purification, all of which have been designed for lubricating oil. 2.3.2 HOMOGENEITY Additive agents shall remain uniformly distributed throughout the oil at all temperatures above the pour point and up to 250?F (120?C). When the oil is cooled below the pour point, it shall regain homogeneity on standing at temperatures of 10?F (5?C) above the pour poin t, and retain clear and bright appearance. 2.3.3 COMATIBILITY The testing shall be performed in accordance with paragraph COMPATIBILITY TESTING and evaluated in accordance with paragraph APPEARANCE RATING PROCEDURE. Contractor shall follow instructions given in OBTAINING SAMPLE OIL FROM DAM to obtain a representativ e sample of the in-service oil necessary to conduct the test. 2.4. TESTING 2.4.1 COMPATIBILITY TESTING The following testing procedure shall be used for evaluation of compatibility between new and in-service oils (for convenience, new oils are called A oils, and in-service oils are called B oils); a. Prepare separately 300 ml of each mixture of the following ratios: 90:10, 50:50, and 10:90 of the two oils (A and B) to be evaluated for compatibility. The two constituent oils (100:0, and 0:100) shall be tested concurrently. b. Stir each mixture vigorously in a laboratory glass mixer (minimum volume capacity of one quart) for 30 minutes, and immediately transfer to a glass beaker of suitable size for each mixture. Use a suitable rubber spatula, and squeegee the remaining oil into the glass beaker. c. Heat the beakers with the mixtures in the oven at 65?C (150?F) for 168 hours (? 1 hour). d. Remove the beakers from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature e. Observe the oil samples according to the procedure described in paragraph 2.4.2 Appearance Rating Procedure. If any of the oil mixtures tested display an incompatible result, conclude the test and report that the new oil is not acceptable for use. If the results are satisfactory, proceed to the next section. f. Cool the beakers with the oil mixtures to 0?C (32?F) and keep them at this temperature for 24 hours. g. Remove beakers from the cooler and bring to room temperature. h. Observe the oil samples according to the procedure described in paragraph 2.4.2 Appearance Rating. If any of the oil mixtures tested displays an incompatible result, the new shall be reported as incompatible, and as such, not acceptable for use. 2.4.2 APPEARANCE RATING PROCEDURE Set up the appearance-rating test using a 150-Watt reflector flood lamp. a. SEDIMENT RATING - Hold the sample beaker vertically few inches above the flood lamp, without disturbing the sample, approximately ten inches in front of your eyes. View the sample beaker from the different directions, angles and distances from the ligh t source bottom. Assign the observed sediment rating according to TABLE 1. b. FLUID RATING - View the sample beaker from the side, looking directly through the oil mixture. Assign a fluid rating according to TABLE 1. If the samples are too dark to rate for fluid appearance, they may be rated by tilting samples on side and obser ving the material adhering to the beaker. TABLE 1 CODES FOR RATING COMPATIBILITY OF COMPOUNDED OILS Fluid Rating Sediment Rating Description Result of Evaluation 0 - Absolutely Bright Pass 1 - Bright Pass 2 - Very Slight Cloudiness Fail 3 - Moderate Cloudiness Fail 4 - Heavy Cloudiness Fail 5 - Detectable Floc Fail 6 - Heavy Floc Fail - 0 No Sediment Pass - 1 Very Slight Sediment Fail - 2 Slight Sediment Fail - 3 Heavy sediment Fail - 4 Appreciable More Sediment Than 3 Fail 2.4.3 TESTING PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF OIL Chemical and physical tests shall be conducted in accordance with the Standards listed in TABLE 2. PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 DELIVERY SCHEDULING. All oil shall be delivered to Lower Granite Dam no more than 90 days after the contract has been awarded. The Contractor shall schedule the delivery and storage of o il to the dam with the Project Point of Contact (POC) or their designee. The Lower Granite POC is Rob Lustig 509-843-1493 x258. Delivery shall be scheduled between Monday and Thursday, 0730 hours to 1500 hours with exceptions to federal holidays, unles s approved otherwise. All Oil shall be delivered to Lower Granite before September 11, 2006. 3.2 DELIVERY. Oil shall be delivered to Lower Granite Dam, 885 Almota Ferry Road, Pomeroy, WA 99347. Truck will have access to the Power House assembly bay (elev. 656), from the Pomeroy, South side of the river only. Crossing of the dam from the north Colfax side will not be allowed. To avoid contamination, clean oil transfer hoses, funnels and containers shall be used to transfer oil. Upon arrival and before pumping the oil into the Government storage tank, hoses, funnels and containers will be inspected for contami nates. The driver shall then pour two gallons of new oil from the truck into government supplied storage containers for future testing. The Contractor shall pump the remaining oil into the Government storage tank. 3.3 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE. At the point of oil delivery, the Government will obtain samples in a manner specified in ASTM D?4057 or ASTM D 4177, and may perform such tests as are deemed necessary to determine whether the oil meets the specifications values listed in TABLE 2. The de livered oil will remain in a storage tank (if applicable) and will not be used until the test results are received from the laboratory. Should the oil fail any test, the Contractor shall be responsible for disposing of the delivered oil and replacing the oil at his own expense. TABLE 2 CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS REQUIREMENTS AND TEST METHODS FOR RUST AND OXIDATION (R&O) INHIBITED ISO 68 & 100 TURBINE OILS Chemical and Physical Characteristics Requirements ISO 68 Oil ISO 100 Oil Test Method Viscosity at 40 ?C, centistokes (cSt) 65-70 95-102 ASTM D 445 Viscosity Index, minimum 98 95 ASTM D 2270 Flash Point, minimum, ?C (?F) 204 (400) 210 (410) ASTM D 92 Pour Point, maximum, ?C (?F) -9 (16) -9 (16) ASTM D 97 Acid Number (AN) mg KOH/g, maximum 0.15 0.15 ASTM D 664 Oxidation Stability by Rotating Pressure Vessel Oxidation Test (RPVOT), minutes, minimum 500 500 ASTM D 2272 Oxidation Characteristics, mg KOH/g, maximum 0.5* 0.5* ASTM D 943 Rust Preventive Characteristics, Procedures A and B Pass Pass ASTM D 665 Water Content, parts per million (ppm), maximum 250 250 ASTM D 6304 Water Separability of Petroleum Oil 40-40-0 (30) 40-40-0 (60) ASTM D 1401 Corrosion from Oil by Copper Strip Tarnish Test Classification 1 Classification 1 ASTM D 130 Foaming characteristics After 5 minutes blowing period: Sequence 1, foam volume in milliliters (ml), maximum Sequence 2, foam volume in ml, maximum Sequence 3, foam volume in ml, maximum After 10 minutes settling period: Sequence 1, foam volume in ml, maximum Sequence 2, foam volume in ml, maximum Sequence 3, foam volume in ml, maximum 100 50 100 10 0 10 100 50 100 10 0 10 ASTM D 892 Air Release Properties, minutes, maximum 30 60 ASTM D 3427 Cleanliness, ISO Code Particle Count, particle sizes of greater than 4, 6, and 14 ?m (c) 17/15/12 (c) 17/15/12 (c) ISO 4406-99 (ISO 11171 Cal.)
