CITY OF REDDING
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
WHISKEYTOWN POWER PROJECT
MAJOR INSPECTION AND MINOR MAINTENANCE
A. Objective
The City of Redding (City) owns and operates the Whiskeytown
Power Project (Project) , a hydroelectric facility located in
Shasta County at the base of Whiskeytown Dam.
The City' s objective is to contract for the performance of a
major inspection and minor maintenance as needed for the Project
and have City personnel observe all inspections and tests. The
work described by this RFP is intended to meet that objective.
The City is now inviting proposals for technical services
from qualified firms to perform the inspections and maintenance as
further described in this RFP.
I Funding for this effort is included in the current budget.
B. Description of Project
The Project began commercial operation in September 1986.
The Project consists of a double francis horizontal shaft turbine
manufactured by Vevey in Switzerland. Water is discharged through
either one or both draft tubes. The generator manufactured by BBC
Brown Boveri is rated at 3,530 kW; 4 ,160 volts; 720 rpm. The
I generator is air-cooled with a water/air heat exchanger.
C. Scope of Service
The scope of the requested work includes testing, as
necessary or specified, dismantling, inspecting, minor
maintenance/repair and reassembly of the Project turbine, genera-
tor and appurtenances. The work will include dismantling equip-
ment to the point where inspection can be performed to determine
the extent of wear and tear and to further determine whether major
maintenance/repair must be performed. Minor maintenance/repair is
that normally associated with this nature of work and performed on
equipment during inspections. Minor maintenance will be
performed, as needed, to repair and/or restore equipment to
service. Tests necessary to be performed to determine suitability
for use and degree of useful life remaining will be in accordance
with established industry standards. It is expected that each
Proposer might make additions which the Proposer believes, from
experience and judgment, to be desirable.
Inspection reports and test reports will be completed by the
Contractor and copies will be provided to the City.

Major Inspection and Minor Maintenance
Proposal Requirements:
1. Our preference is to work a ten (10) hour day. However, it
is our opinion that the work can be completed within the
fourteen allotted days using an eight (8) hour day. We will
base our bid upon working consecutive ten hour work days but
realize that there may be occasions when variations may be j.
needed either by the City or us in order to properly
coordinate with other work activities.
This procedure is not intended to provide every detail of the
inspection, test and cleaning process. Good and professional
judgement must be used as well as normal practices. It is
expected that Lyle Hurley or one he designates will be on site
to review work as it progresses. We shall make a good faith
attempt to accommodate any changes needed to accomplish his
desires for different or additional procedures, tests or
inspections not called out in this proposal.
2. Description of work:
1. In cooperation with the City staff perform a vibration
test on the three bearings of the turbine prior to any
dismantling of the equipment. In addition, use a dial
gage to measure the change in shaft centerline from at
rest to off-line no-load speed. Also measure the shaft
runout at the various coupling and bearing points where
practical. Try to measure the runout at no-load speed
and statically by turning the shaft by hand.
2 . Secure the turbine and generator.
1. Dewater penstock (by City) .
2 . Rack out generator breaker to the withdrawn
position.
3 . Rack out or disconnect excitor power from generator.
4. Lockout all hydraulic control of turbine
5. Remove all control power from turbine and generator
control and protection devices.
NOTE: The turbine and generator inspection process must be done
in a clean environment. All associated and unassociated
work must observe this requirement.

3 . Gain access to generator air cooling coils for inspection
and cleaning. See RFP and manufacturer's recommendation
on cleaning procedure and test.
4 . Remove end covers from generator housing.
5. Remove the top half of the two elbows on the turbine to
gain access to one side of each runner.
6. Remove oil from the three bearings using a filter press
and clean barrels. Leave barrels out of way, but leave
in power house. (If City would like barrels removed from
powerhouse then use their crane) .
7. Remove top caps from the three bearings. Protect
bearings from any dust or dirt contamination.
NOTE: All inspection, cleaning and testing will be done without
decoupling the shaft or runners. The intention is to do
as much as we can without decoupling the shaft or moving
the stator. If these procedures reveal that more
.'i extensive work needs to be done then that will be
considered outside of the fixed price portion of this
contract.
8. Begin inspection process:
1. The shaft will need to be rotated for several of the
inspection and cleaning processes. To the extent
practical we will try to perform as many of the
steps as we can with each rotation. Be careful to
properly hand oil the bearing surface each time
before rotating the shaft.
1. Check generator stator wedging.
2 . Visually check the stator air cooling gap. Do
not clean until bearings are properly protected
from dust.
1 3 . Visually check rotor windings.
4. Check the air gap between a pole piece and the
stator at eight positions (45 deg. apart) for
one pole piece and one position for all pole
pieces at both ends of the generator. Record
the data on a generator map and determine the
variation in spacing.

5. Visually inspect, feel and use a straight edge
light gap to check for any rough places on the
steel bearing surface of the shaft at each of
the three bearings. Report and record any
imperfections.
6. Visually and with gages check the gap on all
accessible wear surfaces on the runners and
spiral case. Record findings.
7. Visually and with stain check for cavitation
damage on the runner, exit elbow, spiral case
and wicket gates (see RFP 6.a,b,c) .
8. Inspection will be carried out in part from
inside the squirrel case. The City will
provide the safety harnessing.
9. Use precision level to measure shaft alignment
as it is rotated.
2 . Apply end pressure to the shaft and record its absolute
position with respect to a fixed reference point and then
its movement amount when pressure is applied in the
opposite direction. With the thrust surface against the
thrust shoes check spacing between each shoe and the
thrust caller. Record any gaps. Attempt to check the
upper shell half's thrust spacing as well.
;.i 3 . Jack the shaft as a unit enough to relieve the weight
from the lower half of the bearings.
1. Roll the lower half out of the housing.
1. Inspect the babbitt on both upper and lower
halves for damage or uneven wear on either the
ii radial or thrust bearing surfaces.
2 . Clean out the bearing housing.
3 . Test the float switches for activation at the
proper levels. Record the levels in a manner
that they can be referenced latter when the
bearings are filled with oil.
4 . Inspect and clean the oil coolers and flow
switches. Check the flow switches for any
internal build-up or fouling.
5. Measure the RTD resistance and compare it to
a chart value against a known temperature.
6. Test the insulated bearing with an ohmmeter and
the with megger at the manufactures recommended
level. Report and repair any minor
infractions.

2 . Clean and replace the lower bearing shell half and
prepare for hand rotation of the shaft. Be careful
to properly hand oil the bearing.
1. Use bluing to check for babbitt to metal
contact surface area and evenness. Scrape the
bearing where necessary to achieve proper
dispersion of shaft weight over bearing
surface. Get cities approval before scraping.
2 . Adjust thrust bearing shoes where necessary to
achieve even contact.
3. Re-check turbine and generator gaps. If
spacing has changed then record another set of
data as called for in the above steps.
4. Re-check shaft alignment using the precision
level.
3 . Reassemble bearings and generator housing. Replace
bearing oil with filter press.
4. Megger the stator winding on the generator.
1 �
1. 1000 VAC all phases to ground.
2 . 1000 VAC one phase to all other phases.
Make measurements at 1 and 10 minute internals.
NOTE: RTA can also perform these tests with a 5000 VAC
megger if the City desires.
5. Check excitation and field. Megger field if
accessible at manufacturer's recommended voltage.
6. Connect and tape all wiring. Torque power
connections to manufacturer's recommended values.
7 . Torque all foundation bolts to manufacturer's
specification. If bolts are not tight then monitor
any movement that might affect the alignment as
bolts are torqued. Minor realignment is included
within the scope of this proposal.
8. Bridge measurements of the hot and cold winding
resistance have not been called for by the City.
RTA can perform these tests if desired and we have
included them as a optional cost adder.
