U.S. to procure runners for 154.4-MW J.F. Carr

The Bureau of Reclamation’s Mid-Pacific Region plans to issue a solicitation for replacement runners, cones, and stationary wear rings for two 85-MW turbines at its 154.4-MW J.F. Carr powerhouse near Redding in Shasta County, Calif.

The government said it anticipates issuing the solicitation in May and awarding a contract in June.
