AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A PROPOSAL WITH SIEMENS ENERGY, INC. FOR INTERSTATE COMBUSTION TURBINE’S COMBUSTOR OVERHAUL IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $260,000.00 FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
This is a new proposal for the overhaul of the Interstate’s combustor turbine. This ordinance approves a contract with Siemens Energy, Inc. (“Siemens”) in an amount not to exceed $260,000.00, for Interstate Combustion Turbine’s (“ICT”) combustor overhaul. The overhaul is scheduled to occur in August - September 2025 and is anticipated to take approximately three (3) weeks. The services needed for this overhaul include specialty trained engineers and skilled technicians to provide project management and assistance to disassemble, inspect, repair and reassemble the combustor. Siemens is the OEM for the ICT turbine. A delay in this overhaul will increase the risk of needing replacement of more items, and reliability and efficiency of the unit will begin to decrease. The OEM’s Site Manager will act as CWLP’s liaison to provide correct information in the event unexpected damage is found, which then expedites onsite repair decisions. This is critical to the success of the overhaul because turbines are precision-built pieces of equipment, and repairs that are performed incorrectly can have a major impact on efficiency and power generation.
