LOP Fire Protection and Unwatering Pump System

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Portland District has a requirement for an open-market, FOB destination supply procurement of a commercial fire protection and unwatering pumping system for Lookout Point Dam in Lane County, Oregon. As part of a planned deep drawdown of the Lookout Point reservoir, the penstock will be dewatered and the plant's normal service-water supply temporarily removed, disabling transformer cooling and fire protection while primary power is back fed from the transmission line.

To sustain fire protection and support unwatering operations during this period, USACE intends to procure new equipment and associated piping, including but not limited to the following: One 650 GPM vertical pump/motor assembly at 200 ft total dynamic head (?50 HP) and one 2000 GPM vertical pump/motor assembly at 51 ft total dynamic head (?20 HP), both water?lubricated vertical line?shaft units designed in accordance with AWWA E103 and HI 9.19.5. A complete fire protection pumping package, to include a UL?listed fire pump controller for a 50 HP, 480 VAC motor; a jockey pump system (0.25 HP, nominal 90 psi); a manual transfer switch for dual fire/unwatering service; and new overload protection compatible with an existing 125A Westinghouse AB DE?ION breaker panel. Associated 10?inch and 6?inch Schedule 40 carbon steel piping, flanges, fittings, valves, pressure relief and pressure regulating valves, and accessories in accordance with ASME B16.5/B31.3, AWWA C500/C517/C530, and the applicable ASTM, ANSI, NEMA, NFPA, and UL standards.
