Repair of CRRP Number 2 KATO 2,500 HP Motor

The Bureau of Reclamation Pacific Northwest Region (Reclamation) intends to negotiate a contract using FAR Parts 12 and 13 procedures with K & N Electric Motors Inc, 415 N Fancher Rd, Spokane Valley WA 99212-1059, for repair of the number 2 KATO 2,500 horsepower motor from the Columbia River Pumping Plant near Hermiston, Umatilla County, Oregon. The proposed contract is a follow on to a previously competitively awarded contract. Upon tear down and inspection extensive damage to the motor was discovered. Reclamation believes negotiating a contract with the current vendor will provide considerable cost and time savings as opposed to conducting a new competition. The NAICS code applicable to this acquisition is 335312, Motor and Generator Manufacturing, and the small business size standard is 1,000 employees. The proposed scope of work includes: Motor: (1) Burn and strip main stator winding, as well as exciter stator and rotor; (2) remove all eight rotor poles and coils; (3) complete rewind of the rotor; (4) replace 50% of main stator core iron with new laminations; (5) replace 50% of two main rotor poles with new laminations; (6) rewind main stator with new form coils, including vacuum pressure impregnation; (7) rewind stator and rotor of the exciter; (8) repair core damage of exciter stator and rotor; (9) remove , manufacture and install new shaft; (10) repair main rotor pole face winding; (11) rebuild lower guide bearing housing and replace Koyo bearing with a SKF bearing; (12) install a lower bearing RTD; (13) rebuild scrubbed end housing, seals, and miscellaneous parts; (14) replace existing winding heaters (240 volt and 300 watt); (15) dynamically balance rotating assembly; (16) reassemble, test and paint.
