Description
THE SERIES CAPACITOR INSERTION BREAKER PPK 2199 HYDRAULIC RAMS HAVE FAILED. THIS IS CREATING A LENGTHY UNSCHEDULED OUTAGE WHICH IMPACTS OUR ABILITY TO SCHEDULE AND WHEEL POWER OVER THIS LINE. THE LINE HAS BEEN DERATED WHICH CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF REVENUE TO WESTERN AND POSSIBLE INCREASED COSTS TO OUR CUSTOMERS BY HAVING TO FIND ALTERNATE ROUTES TO DELIVER POWER. GE/ALSTOM HAS THE PARTS AND TECHNICIANS AVAILABLE THAT CAN HELP WESTERN REDUCE THE OUTAGE TIME SIGNIFICANTLY. THE RATIONALE BEHIND BEING SOLE SOURCE IS THAT GE/ALSTOM IS THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER OF THIS VINTAGE/LEGACY BREAKER SYSTEM AND THEY POSSES THE TRAINED TECHNICIANS WHO ROUTINELY WORK ON THESE TYPES OF LEGACY BREAKERS AND HAVE DONE PREVIOUS SIMILAR REPAIRS FOR US WITHIN THE LAST YEAR UNDER THE SAME SOLE SOURCE REQUIREMENT. ANOTHER MAJOR FACTOR IS THE SENSITIVITY OF THE TIME LINE. SINCE THE BREAKER FAILURE HAS JUST RECENTLY OCCURRED, ACTION MUST BE TAKEN QUICKLY BEFORE THE SPRING AND SUMMER TEMPERATURES INCREASE. THIS WILL AIDE IN MINIMIZING ANY FINANCIAL AND SCHEDULING IMPACTS TO WESTERN AND THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS BREAKER OPERATES THE SERIES CAPACITOR BANK ON THE LINE FROM FLG TO PPK AND BY SECURING A CONTRACTOR THROUGH THE SOLE SOURCE PROCESS THIS WILL SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE THE FINANCIAL AND RELIABILITY IMPACTS TO WESTERN'S CUSTOMERS AND ALLOW WESTERN TO PROCURE THE REQUIRED PARTS AND SERVICE EXPERTISE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM PRIOR TO ANTICIPATED LOAD INCREASES ON THE SYSTEM IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS. GE/ALTSOM HAS THE SPECIFIC PARTS AND TECHNICAL EXPERTISE TO EXPEDITE AND MOBILIZE QUICKLY TO REPAIR THIS CRITICAL LEGACY INFRASTRUCTURE ITEM BASED ON PAST PERFORMANCE WITH THIS SAME REQUIREMENT.
