March 29, 2011 that are more robust. Flynn staff has determined that upgrading these actuators will enhance the gas turbines reliability. “Flynn’s gas turbine controls were upgraded to a TXP level in 2003. The rest of the plant controls and the steam turbine controls were upgraded to a T3000 level in 2007. For continued reliability and serviceability the gas turbine controls need to be brought up to the T3000 level. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s (‘NERC’) Critical Infrastructure Protection rules also require that the TXP controls be upgraded to T3000. “Following the 2011 major outage, critical gas turbine parts will be sent out for refurbishment and upgrade. They will then be ready for the next major outage. These refurbishments are long-lead activities and need to be done promptly in order to protect the plant from an extended shutdown in the event that one of them fails in service. The parts will be sent out in early 2012 and, most likely, would be returned to inventory in 2012 or 2013. Included in this category are HR3 burners, Compressor Inner Diffuser, Turbine Blades and Vanes and the Inner Case. “Flynn’s major outages will occur in October and November of 2011. The shipment of critical parts for refurbishment will occur in early 2012. “Total projects costs for these capital procurements are as follow: 2011 2012 Total Engineering $ 100,000 $ 35,000 $ 135,000 Procurement $3,840,000 $2,580,000 $6,420,000 Installation $ 132,000 $ 132,000 NYPA Direct $ 135,000 $ 15,000 $ 150,000 NYPA Indirect $ 227,000 $ 131,000 $ 358,000 Total $4,434,000 $2,761,000 $7,195,000 FISCAL INFORMATION “Payment will be made from the Authority’s Capital Fund. The amount of $4.43 million is an increase from the original $3.5 million that was included in the 2011 Capital Budget Submission Plan. The change is primarily due to costs related to turbine blades, turbine vanes and mixing elbows. RECOMMENDATION “The Vice President – Project Management, the Vice President – Engineering, the Regional Manager – Southeastern New York and the Director of Operations – RM Flynn Power Plant recommend that the Trustees authorize Capital Expenditures in the amount of $7.195 million for the completion of projects, upgrade of critical components and purchase of critical components for the 2011 RM Flynn Power Plant Major Outage. “For the reasons stated, I recommend the approval of the above-requested action by adoption of a resolution in the form of the attached draft resolution.” Mr. Paul Tartaglia presented highlights of staff’s recommendation to the Trustees. In response to a question from Chairman Townsend, Mr. Tartaglia said that staff routinely analyzes the contract to determine whether or not the level of service and technical expertise pertaining to the type of machine remains competitive. In response to another question from Chairman Townsend, Mr. Tartaglia said that that Authority has a longterm agreement with Seimens, the original equipment manufacturers. In response to further questions from Chairman Townsend, Mr. Tartaglia said that staff reviews the contract periodically to ensure that the prices are competitive. 55
