<br /> <br />... <br /> <br />oaaS94 <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />completed fabrication of the two 83,000 HP, l80 RPM vertical shaft <br /> <br />hydraulic turbines for Morrow Point Powerplant. This firm was also the <br /> <br /> <br />successful bidder for constructing the two 66,667-kva generators for the <br /> <br />powerplant. We expect to award the powerplant completion contract late <br /> <br />this fall and to have the powerplant operable late in 1969. <br /> <br />Work is rapidly drawing to a close at the Blue Mesa Dam and Powerplant. <br /> <br />Bearing run-in tests were initiated for the first generating unit during <br /> <br /> <br />the week of August 2l to 26, and load testing was undertaken last week. <br /> <br />The other unit is expected to be ready for testing the latter part of <br /> <br />this month. <br /> <br />rlj <br /> <br />The Navajo Dam outlet works stilling basin was dewatered during July in <br /> <br />order that prospective bidders might inspect the areas where remedial <br /> <br /> <br />work was required. A low bid of $608,523 was received late in July for <br /> <br />modification of the Navajo Dam outlet works and stilling basin. The <br /> <br /> <br />contract was awarded August l8, and all work is scheduled for completion <br /> <br />early in 1968. <br /> <br />Silt Project has been substantially completed and, as you are aware, will <br /> <br />be dedicated tomorrow. <br /> <br />Modification of the diversion works for the Smith Fork Feeder Canal will <br /> <br />be completed as soon as the contractor installs hoist equipment for the <br /> <br />sluiceway radial gate. <br /> <br />The contractor at Silver Jack Dam, Bostwick Park Project, placed the first <br /> <br /> <br />embankment in the dam on August l4 in the downstream Zone II area. He <br /> <br />has also completed installation and concrete encasement of all 78-inch <br /> <br />diameter steel liner in the outlet works conduit between the intake <br />2 <br />
