WHEREAS, in the fall of 2017 there was a major inspection and overhaul of the
turbine generator at Platte Generating Station; and
WHEREAS, Reliable Turbine Services was awarded a bid for technical support and
800 hours of repair labor for bearings, steam nozzles, turbine rotor blades and generator parts, and
the specifications included a composite hourly rate for additions or reductions in the repair labor
amount as the amount of actual work was not known until the unit was disassembled and inspected;
and
WHEREAS, during the last year plant staff discovered three issues that could fall
under the warranty for this work, and if the root cause for the issues that are occurring are found not
to be the workmanship of Reliable Turbine Services, the City of Grand Island Utilities would be
responsible for the repairs; and
WHEREAS, Reliable Turbine Services developed a scope of work that will
investigate the issues, and they would perform this work during the fall outage that is scheduled to
start October 11, 2018; and
WHEREAS, the proposed scope of work is based on the standard rates, and estimated
hours, not to exceed $222,060.00; and
WHEREAS, if during the investigation the work is found to be under warranty, there
will be no charges to the City of Grand Utilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that Reliable Turbine Services is authorized to
perform the investigative work during the fall outage for a cost not to exceed $222,060.00.
