- Description
- Lucky Peak Dam - Emergency Gate Hoist Sources Sought The two emergency gate hoists located at Lucky Peak Dam on the Boise River are critical for the flood protection along the Boise River. Each gate weighs approximately 50 tons (gate weight is 86,000 lb, plus 11,600 lb for the gate sheave block assembly). In the event of a failure of either the power house or the dams outlet works the hoists deploy the emergency gates which shut off all flows through the dam. This prevents the flooding of Boise, ID and the draining of the Lucky Peak reservoir. The hoists which have been in operation since the dam's construction in 1955, are plagued by numerous maintenance problems and are no longer in compliance with Corps design criteria. Scope of Work - Design, build and install two 200 ton rail mounted hoists to deploy the emergency gates. Included in the hoist design are new lifting blocks and connecting pins that shall be custom designed for the emergency gates. The new hoists will be mounted on the existing crane rails. For maintenance the hoist shall be able to roll along their rail mounts using the existing come-along system. While in operational position the hoists shall be able to securely fasten themselves to the rails. The controls shall be programmable logic controller (PLC) based. PLC programming shall reside on non-volatile memory which shall not be affected when power is removed from the PLC. A single set of controls shall be used to switch between installed hoists and shall not require the operator to move to a separate control panel to operate each hoist. Main power electrification system shall provide power to hoist control panel starter/disconnect circuit breaker. Design hoists to be operated from a 480 volt, three phase, 60 Hz, alternating current system power source. Each hoist shall be provided with a dedicated electrical ground. Design energy isolating devices for such machine or equipment to accept a lockout device in accordance with NFPA 70. Remove and replace the existing branch circuit conductors, circuit breakers, disconnects and any additional electrical equipment necessary to accommodate the load. Keep and reutilize emergency gate #1 and #2 feeder circuit breakers. The existing 200 ton hoist shall be removed prior to installation. Intent is to award a Design Build contract in the Fall of 2019. On site work needs to be accomplished in the October 2020 to January 2021 window during low pool. 1.
