121001 -  ..
121002 - Scope of Broadwater Close-out Effort
121003 -
121004 - The agreement between DNRC and Voith dated 910903 defines major tasks
121005 - to closeout the Voith contract.  It expressly calls out two tasks:
121006 -
121007 -      [On 911104 discussed with Tudor's engineering manager, John
121008 -      Williams. ref SDS 10 0084
121009 -
121010 -     1.  Voith will replace the gear set in the speed increaser.
121011 -
121012 -     2.  The final contract punch list will be prepared by DNRC and
121013 -         will thereafter be performed by Voith.
121014 -
121015 -  ..
121016 - Two additional tasks are implied in the Agreement:
121017 -
121018 -     3.  Evaluate correctness of the Speed Increaser housing relative
121019 -         to contract specifications, and replace the entire speed
121020 -         increaser if it does not conform to contract, in lieu of
121021 -         merely replacing the gear set, task 1.
121022 -
121023 -     4.  DNRC will track extra expense incurred caused by Voith in
121024 -         connection with steps 1 - 3, and make claim for recovery.
121025 -
121026 -
121027 -  ..
121028 - Notice Procedures
121029 -
121030 - With respect to task two (2) it was recommended that Tudor commence on
121031 - behalf of DNRC the notice procedure prescribed in the Agreement such
121032 - that seven (7) day notices to correct defects (punch list items)
121033 - issued prior to Sep 3, be withdrawn so there is a single baseline date
121034 - from which to evaluate performance. The baseline date will be the date
121035 - of submission of the "Final Punch" list called out in the Agreement.
121036 -
121037 -     This procedure will avoid confusion in the record and shows that
121038 -     substantial completion has not occurred because the "Final Punch
121039 -     List" was not determinable nor performed until at least Sep 1991.
121040 -
121041 -     The procedure further appears to conform with the intent of the
121042 -     parties that all outstanding punch list items are to be performed
121043 -     under the Agreement, plus such other items that became known dur-
121044 -     ing annual maintenance (see ref DIP 4 item #5).
121045 -
121046 -
121047 -  ..
121048 - Speed Increaser Housing (SIH)
121049 - Basis for Independent Evaluation
121050 -
121051 - Task three (3) arises from the purpose of the Agreement that "... the
121052 - speed increaser [comply] with the specifications defined in Contract
121053 - 1189.1" (see DIP 4 p. 1 para 2).
121054 -
121055 - There is some evidence that the Speed Increaser housing (hereafter
121056 - SIH) does not comply with the contract in that suspension bolts broke
121057 - and the noise of the unit exceeds 87 db called out in contract (see
121058 - ref DIP 1 p 13, 14, and Supplemental Bid Data p. 4).
121059 -
121060 -     External Support Bolting Defective
121061 -
121062 -     The original support bolting scheme failed and was modified by
121063 -     Voith.  This was not discussed at the Jun 25 and 26, meetings and
121064 -     is not part of the Sep 3, 1991, Agreement, but it comprises an
121065 -     issue to be reviewed in connection with approving the speed
121066 -     increaser once Voith submits its shop drawings.
121067 -
121068 -     It appears Voith did not submit the design of its corrections and
121069 -     Tudor did not approve the corrections.
121070 -
121071 -  ..
121072 -
121073 - Voith admits the SIH was designed and manufactured defectively (see
121074 - ref DIP 1 line 15 - relating to the gears being supported with bolts
121075 - from the top rather than the bottom).  Voith has indicated it used a
121076 - "prototype design" (ref DIP 1 p 18), but promised to "...fix that and
121077 - improve [DNRC's] confidence.
121078 -
121079 -     [The other bolting issue further indicates product defects and
121080 -     that the unit was a "prototype."]
121081 -
121082 - Voith maintains that it corrected all defects by making field modifi-
121083 - cations to bolt the SIH from the bottom (DIP 2 p 15).  However, Voith
121084 - has admitted it does not "know," for example, if the bolting changes
121085 - it made corrected the vibration problem (ibid).  DNRC needs substan-
121086 - tive and objective evidence that SIH is adequate in order to decide
121087 - whether to demand a new speed increaser, rather than merely replace
121088 - the gear set, as expressly called for in the Sep 3, 1991, Agreement.
121089 - This is the only means to improve DNRC's confidence.
121090 -
121091 -      [On 911104 discussed with Tudor's engineering manager, John
121092 -      Williams. ref SDS 10 0084
121093 -
121094 - DNRC's position is justified on the following grounds:
121095 -
121096 -      ..
121097 -     Unauthorized Substitution
121098 -
121099 -     It appears Voith has not complied nor even attempted to comply
121100 -     with the contract provisions relating to review and approval of
121101 -     the speed increaser design, and in fact furnished a unit that does
121102 -     not comply with the specifications rendering it an unauthorized
121103 -     substitution (discussed more fully below).
121104 -
121105 -     Voith's reticence in submitting shop drawings does not instill
121106 -     confidence that the speed increaser meets the specification or
121107 -     that Voith is endeavoring to perform its contract.
121108 -
121109 -      ..
121110 -     Lost Revenue
121111 -
121112 -     If the SIH requires future repairs, DNRC may loose considerable
121113 -     revenue that would more likely not be lost if Voith installs a
121114 -     properly designed and manufactured speed increaser that conforms
121115 -     with the contract requirements, rather than repair its prototype.
121116 -
121117 -        If Voith assumed the risk of DNRC's lost revenue through the 30
121118 -        year life of the speed increaser, then the Department may be
121119 -        justified in relying on Voith's unsupported assurances that the
121120 -        existing SIH is adequate [except for the potential of injury
121121 -        to people, discussed below].
121122 -
121123 -        While DNRC contends it can recover lost revenue, the risk that
121124 -        it cannot do so arising from Voith's refusal to so agree, means
121125 -        that evidence the speed increaser complies with the contract is
121126 -        the only source of confidence that it will last through its 30
121127 -        year design life.  Voith's agreement to merely extend the
121128 -        warranty period by 2 years does not cover DNRC's exposure from
121129 -        a product that does not meet the contract specifications.
121130 -
121131 -
121132 -     Collateral Damage
121133 -
121134 -     The risk of collateral damage and attendant administration,
121135 -     litigation and repair costs is inherent in complex equipment as
121136 -     involved here.  Recent observations of cracked concrete while not
121137 -     conclusive, indicate a serious potential risk to DNRC that can
121138 -     only be assuaged by evidence that the speed increaser meets the
121139 -     contract specifications.
121140 -
121141 -
121142 -     Liability for Injury to People
121143 -     Duty to Investigate & Take Precautions
121144 -
121145 -     Since DNRC is now aware of potential problems, it has a duty to
121146 -     take reasonable care to avoid the occurrence of same which could
121147 -     result in injury.  DNRC must insist upon evidence from Voith that
121148 -     its speed increaser is safe and conforms to the contract specifi-
121149 -     cations in order to avoid liability for future failure that
121150 -     injures someone.
121151 -
121152 -  ..
121153 - Effect of Unauthorized Substitution
121154 -
121155 - The express purpose of the Sep 3, 1991, Agreement is to replace the
121156 - gear set of the speed increaser.  The language throughout the document
121157 - limits the scope of speed increaser work to just the gear set.  If the
121158 - speed increaser is an unauthorized substitution that has never been
121159 - reviewed for compliance with the contract, it is not clear what weight
121160 - the Sep 3, Agreement can have in light of Voith's threshold duty to
121161 - submit information to obtain approval for alternates.
121162 -
121163 -      [On 911104 discussed with Tudor's engineering manager, John
121164 -      Williams. ref SDS 10 0084
121165 -
121166 - Even if the substitution is ultimately approved, the duty of care on a
121167 - wide variety of issues would seem to mandate that such approval be
121168 - granted only after heightened scrutiny of all design information
121169 - contemplated by the contract, rather than the limited review called
121170 - for in the current Agreement which seems to extend and accept Voith's
121171 - refusal to perform its contract submittal requirement.
121172 -
121173 - Thus, does the Agreement fundamentally conflict with the contract
121174 - under the record here?

Disclose alternate design for speed increaser

2012 - Areas of Discussion
2013 -
201301 - It appears that Voith improperly installed a speed increaser which is
201302 - defective and does not meet the contract spec.  DNRC may properly
201303 - insist and likely should insist that Voith comply with the contract
201304 - approval procedures for alternates, in order to cure its failure to
201305 - perform.
201306 -
201307 - Thus far the effort has been directed toward evaluating particular
201308 - narrow (though critical) aspects of the design under the Sep 3, 1991,
201309 - Agreement.
201310 -
201311 -
201312 - Gear Set
201313 -
201314 - DNRC has hired Geartech to evaluate only the gear set.
201315 -
201316 -     Walt indicated Voith has met its obligations under the agreement
201317 -     to submit within 7 days "...drawings and documentation regarding
201318 -     the existing design," and to submit within 65 days similar data
201319 -     for the new design.
201320 -
201321 -     Walt indicated Geartech has completed its review and returned its
201322 -     comments through DNRC to Voith.
201323 -
201324 - This task results from the Sep 3, Agreement, but does not address the
201325 - matter of the unauthorized substitution.
201326 -
201327 -
201328 - Housing Vibration & Alignment
201329 -
201330 - Maritech is evaluating the vibration (and alignment ?) of the SIH.
201331 - Part of its evaluation consists of measuring actual vibrations occur-
201332 - ring at the plant.
201333 -
201334 - Its report is due Friday, 911025.
201335 -
201336 -
201337 - Finite Element Analysis
201338 -
201339 - Maritech will also review a "Finite Element Analysis" of vibration
201340 - problems.  Voith promised to supply information needed for this task
201341 - under item #2a of the Agreement, ref DIP 3, but has not done so
201342 - contrary to its assurances to "cooperate" (see ref DIP 1 p 19).
201343 -
201344 - Maritech's interim report submitted by DNRC to Voith on Oct 21 (ref
201345 - DIT 1), shows that in fact a serious vibration problem may occur if
201346 - the existing housing is re-used, as Voith intends.  DNRC's Oct 21,
201347 - letter restates earlier written requests on Oct 9, and Oct 15, for the
201348 - "Finite Element Analysis."
201349 -
201350 - If Voith fails to provide its Finite Element Analysis Information by
201351 - Oct 25, DNRC may contract with Maritech to perform an independent
201352 - study to develop this information.
201353 -
201354 - This task results from the Sep 3, Agreement, but does not address the
201355 - matter of the unauthorized substitution.
201356 -
201357 -
201358 - Vibration Detector
201359 -
201360 - This part of the speed increaser is not working due to incorrect
201361 - design of the interface with the electrical system.
201362 -
201363 -
201364 - Unauthorized
201365 - Speed Increaser Substitution
201366 -
201367 - Voith installed an "alternate design" speed increaser under section
201368 - 11257 para 2.1I, and admits the ring gear suspension bolting system
201369 - was a "new idea" which did not work, and which had not been used on
201370 - other projects, contrary to the contract.  The structural bolting
201371 - scheme failed and required modification which has never been submitted
201372 - by Voith for Engineering approval, which must still be rendered.
201373 - ..
201374 - On July 3, 1989, Tudor's Resident Engineer, Kurt Shulz, reported
201375 - to John Williams and Roberto Iniguez that Voith had installed a "pre-
201376 - sumably unauthorized substitution."   There are no shop drawings,
201377 - change orders or other record of approval of this substitution. Voith
201378 - submitted on July 14, 1989, as its only support for the substitution
201379 - minutes of the post-award meeting on Nov 4, 1987, the following two
201380 - line comment:
201381 -
201382 -     2.1.A - The speed increaser is not double helical, it is a spur
201383 -     gear.  Renk will meet the AGMA specs, thus this is acceptable.
201384 -
201385 - This comment merely indicates willingness by the Engineer to approve
201386 - the change, if Voith can demonstrate through shop drawings and other
201387 - standard submittal information that its assertion is true.  However,
201388 - it has not done so.  Tudor's submittal log (file 00730) indicates
201389 - Voith did not submit shop drawings or documentation of satisfactory
201390 - use on other projects as provided in contract section 11257 para
201391 - 2.1 I.
201392 -
201393 - Therefore, apart from whether DNRC can satisfy itself with respect to
201394 - particular sub-systems (e.g. gear set) of the speed increaser, DNRC
201395 - should insist that Voith now comply with the contract requirements to
201396 - obtain approval for its alternate and if an an adjustment in price is
201397 - warranted relative to the contract specification, it should be made
201398 - to the benefit of DNRC.
201399 -
201400 - Voith maintains the SIH is "...similar to other projects, typical.  We
201401 - are willing to cooperate," and has offered to supply a list of other
201402 - projects where this SIH design is installed (ref DIP 4 p 19.)  Voith's
201403 - position in this regard appears to conflict with its admission that it
201404 - tried a "new idea" with the design of the speed increaser for
201405 - Broadwater (ref DIP 4 p 16.).
201406 -
201407 -
201408 - Follow Up
201409 -
201410 - DNRC is well positioned to demand that Voith comply with the contract
201411 - provisions to support substitutions.  It would be helpful to have a
201412 - single Engineer carry out this task, as contemplated by Voith's con-
201413 - tract, the cost of which should be chargeable to Voith.  DNRC is
201414 - mitigating the damage by its diligence in arranging the aspects cited
201415 - above.  Voith seems to be compounding the damage by failing to cooper-
201416 - ate.

260612 - This meeting sets out some of major tasks that distinguish contract
260613 - closeout work from plant operations.
260614 -
260615 -
260616 - Minor Corrections/Mitigation
260617 -
260618 - DNRC has been absorbing the expense of "minor" corrections, as a
260619 - courtesy to Voith and to expedite the work.  It was decided to adopt a
260620 - procedure of notifying Voith and Tudor of such corrections, to permit
260621 - them to authorize same in order to avoid inadvertent damage to other
260622 - aspects of the plant which would otherwise be the responsibility of
260623 - Voith.
260624 -
260625 - Welch will prepare a form DNRC personnel can fill out for this
260626 - purpose.

260629 - Voith Backcharge Account #
260630 -
260631 - Walt will obtain from DNRC accounting an account number for
260632 - identifying DNRC activities chargeable to Voith.  This will be used by
260633 - DNRC to charge time and other expense incurred to correct Voith's
260634 - failure to perform its contract obligations.
260635 -
260636 -
260637 - Record keeping Procedures
260638 -
260639 - Mike and Brian are entering in a plant "log" explanations of work
260640 - performed and problems encountered.  Matters chargeable to Voith will
260641 - be identified by contract plan and/or specification section with an
260642 - explanation of what was found, what was done and how long it took.
260643 -
260644 -
260645 - Documentation by Experts
260646 -
260647 - DNRC should strive to have any requests or demands it makes to Voith
260648 - supported by written reports from its experts.  If an expert needs
260649 - information to perform its work, it should be requested to write a
260650 - letter stating what it needs and why.  This removes some of the burden
260651 - DNRC has been forced to assume by the absence of Tudor.
260652 -
260653 - It also helps build chronologies of what is done and why, which will
260654 - be helpful in both continuing management of issues and resolution of
260655 - claims.

3109 - General
3110 -
311001 - The Agreement with Voith gives rise to the following planning
311002 - requirements:
311003 -
311004 -     1.  Identify the key players (including Engineering Manager)
311005 -
311006 -     2.  DNRC needs a CPM showing major activities to complete the
311007 -         contract and the dependency relationships thereof to insure
311008 -         timely support of vendors and minimal down time of the plant,
311009 -         and overall expense to DNRC.
311010 -
311011 -     3.  Voith, as the major contractor, needs to supply CPM scheduling
311012 -         information to support DNRC's management and oversight of the
311013 -         contract.
311014 -
311015 - DNRC needs to complete the CPM analysis of the tasks DNRC needs to be
311016 - doing, which was begun today in the meeting.
311017 -
311018 -
311019 - Closeout and Settlement/Litigation Strategy
311020 -
311021 - Sarah will prepare a memo opinion explaining DNRC's strategy and
311022 - options in closing out the contract and settling disputes.  Wayne
311023 - feels this is a good idea because her work product is not
311024 - discoverable.
311025 -
311026 - Engineering needs a legal opinion on what constitutes contract
311027 - completion, and substantial completion.  DNRC has done some work on
311028 - defining substantial completion relative to the Full Operation date.
311029 - Wayne presented some ideas today that would result in the Full
311030 - Operation Date still being open.
311031 -
311032 - After preparing the support and rationale of Tudor's Oct 5, 1989,
311033 - determination of backcharges from the Sletten contract to Voith, Welch
311034 - will prepare an analysis that develops the legal opinion and Wayne's
311035 - ideas into a claim against Voith to recover the actual delay damages
311036 - DNRC has suffered, for submission to the Engineer.  The Engineer will
311037 - then make a determinations on all matters, and issue change orders as
311038 - warranted.  Voith and DNRC can then arbitrate any differences with
311039 - Voith.
311040 -
311041 -
311042 - Lee Engineering Report
311043 -
311044 - This is required to support the punch list.  Walt will meet with Lee
311045 - Engineering to determine progress and scope.
311046 -
311047 -
311048 - Submit Punch List
311049 -
311050 - DNRC will issue the Punch List to Voith after reviewing Lee
311051 - Engineering's report and after assigning contract plan and
311052 - specification identifications.  This submittal will ask Voith to
311053 - provide a CPM showing when the tasks of re-design, submittal,
311054 - approval, procurement, manufacture and installation will occur.

320501 - This is the list requested in the Sep 3, 1991, Agreement.  It is the
320502 - other major piece of work required to close out the contract.
320503 -
320504 - Mike will complete a list of all pending items by Friday, 911025.
320505 -
320506 -     He will indicate the items that need to be done now and those
320507 -     that can be done when Voith wishes to schedule them.
320508 -
320509 -
320510 - Warranty v. Contract Items
320511 -
320512 - Consideration was made to distinguish warranty from contract work. The
320513 - issue is whether the warranty has actually begun to run on anything.
320514 - It seems this may be so, but it is not clear how to set that date,
320515 - since DNRC has been producing power, albeit not at the capacity
320516 - expected in entering the project.
320517 -
320518 - The legal and engineering analyses are needed for this.
320519 -
320520 - Another method would be simply to submit everything as punch list and
320521 - let Voith present the case, if it wishes to do so, why a particular
320522 - item should be one thing or another.

340701 - Charity is working on completing chronologies of documents between
340702 - various parties.
340703 -
340704 - Sarah advised a meeting is scheduled for Friday to clarify the
340705 - direction of this work.

340708 - Tudor to Voith Documents Found
340709 -
340710 - The entire body of documents issued by Tudor to Voith from contract
340711 - inception to April 1989, seemed to be missing in the record.
340712 -
340713 - JoAnn Finn recently explained that Tudor filed these documents and
340714 - commingled them with those to others within the Sletten contract
340715 - records for documents issued by Tudor.
340716 -
340717 - It would be helpful if Charity could segment the following documents
340718 - so there are separate chronologies:
340719 -
340720 -      Tudor to Voith           source = Tudor files
340721 -      Tudor to DNRC              "        "    "
340722 -      DNRC to Voith              "      DNRC   "
340723 -      DNRC to Tudor              "        "    "

390901 - There are a broad range of engineering management matters involved in
390902 - the successful closeout of the contract.
390903 -
390904 - Consideration was given to, at a minimum, develop a consulting
390905 - relationship with an Engineering firm that can coordinate the effort
390906 - and direct Voith to perform in the manner required by the contract.
390907 -
390908 - We would also like an Engineer to rule on DNRC claims.
390909 -
390910 - It might also be fruitful to contact other hydro plant owners who have
390911 - experience of this kind so see how these matters have been handled.
