AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A PROPOSAL WITH STRESS ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC. IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $100,325.00 TO PERFORM INSPECTIONS ON PIPING SYSTEMS AT THE DALLMAN POWER STATION UNIT 4 FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
This Ordinance approves and authorizes the execution of a proposal with Stress Engineering Services, Inc. (SES) for the City of Springfield Office of Public Utilities’ Electric Division Electric Generation Department in an amount not to exceed $100,325.00. Proposal 1155205-PSP-PQ-01_Rev0, SES will perform Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) testing using the Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) technique on Unit 4. FAC can lead to corrosion of the pipe wall until the pipe wall is compromised and failure occurs. This type of failure can be catastrophic. PEC technique measures the average wall thickness of the subject piping through the insolation. PEC is faster than the traditional ultrasonic thickness testing, and this allows more locations to be tested in a set period. Also, low-energy piping inspections are required for insurance purposes. The $100,325.00 amount on the ordinance accounts for the entirety of the proposed project and the potential for four (4) additional days of testing, priced at $9,000 each. The need for additional days of testing will be determined once the analysis is complete. The engineering inspection services provided under this contract require a high degree of skill and expertise. SES has performed these services for CWLP in the past. SES is not a local vendor.
