The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to seek bids for replacement of two turbine runners at 30 MW Hills Creek Dam, on the Middle Fork of the Willamette River in Oregon. A site visit is scheduled June 8 with bids expected to be due in August.
The Corps’ Portland District awarded a contract in 2006 to Lehoczky/Vanguard Joint Venture of Bradenton, Fla., for a generator uprate study at Hills Creek. The project was among 13 government dams covered by a 2008 biological opinion designed to make the dams friendlier to fish, to improve river water temperatures, and to improve fish hatchery practices.
