The purpose of this requirement is to purchase replacement electric motor/brake for the east fish ladder to replace the current equipment which is reaching end of service life. The Dalles Lock and Dam is 192 miles upriver from the mouth of the Columbia River two miles east of The Dalles, Oregon and has been operating since 1957. The Adult fish ladders were integrated into the design and have been operating since then. To steer the adults to the ladders, "attraction" flows at the downstream ladder entrances simulate conditions that would be found at the base of natural waterfalls. At the entrances of the fish ladders the weir gates are monitored to be a foot or so below the water line. This helps the attraction flow to maintain a steady current to attract the adult fish. The gates are controlled by automation; however, the motors and brakes are original from the 1950’s and have been maintained by The Dalles Dam maintenance team for over 65 years. During maintenance periods in recent years The Dalles Dam has found several motors and brakes to worn to be repaired and are no longer serviceable. The current motors are no longer produced or available, the replacement motors need to be customer manufactured to fit in the current space used by the OEM motors.
