WHEREAS,in June,one of the plant's two circulating water pumps developed a leak
due to wear and corrosion; and
WHEREAS, Plant Maintenance staff made a temporary repair, and quotes were
obtained to disassemble, inspect, and repair the pump; and
WHEREAS, upon inspection by Ruhrpumpen, who submitted the lowest quote,
extensive corrosion that is beyond typical weld repair was found and the entire elbow and tail piece
will need to be remanufactured; and
WHEREAS, Ruhrpumpen is the original manufacture of this pump and the only
company that has the original equipment drawings;
WHEREAS,it will take eight weeks to complete the repairs and proceeding with the
formal procurement process would delay getting the pump back into service,causing a derate at the
Platte Generating Station's electric generating capabilities.
