The Comprehensive scope of work includes but is not limited to; Design & Engineering: Complete design of a new speed increaser gearbox suitable for a 25 MW hydropower Unit, conforming to the preliminary technical specifications outlined in Part 3. The government may consider delivery of two identical units - one to be installed onsite and one to be placed into long-term storage as a spare. Manufacturing & Fabrication: Supply of all new components for a new speed increaser which will replace the existing Unit-1 gearbox. The USACE is currently considering a configuration that pairs a low-speed planetery device stage with a parellal-shaft high speed stage. This arrangement facilitates the necessary offset for seamless integration with the existing turbine and generator shaft alignments.
