INDUSTRY DAY/PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE FOR GLEN CANYON POWER PLANT GENERATORS G1, G3, G5, AND G6 REWINDS (ROEBEL DESIGN REBUILDS) You are invited to attend an Industry Day focused on the Bureau of Reclamation's requirement for the "Glen Canyon Power plant Generators G1, G3, G5, and G6 Rewinds (Roebel Design Rebuilds)." This event is being hosted by the Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, at the Glen Canyon Dam Power plant in Page, AZ. Note that a separate Industry Day will be conducted for another Bureau of Reclamation requirement entitled "GSU Transformers and Associated Equipment Replacements" (Reference number R12PS40038) on October 23, 2012. Search Fedbizopps to find the Industry Day notice for the "GSU Transformers and Associated Equipment Replacements" (Reference number R12PS40038). PURPOSE: To determine project interest and industry capabilities. This will be a forum for prospective offerors to hear the details of the project by the Glen Canyon Power plant team, both in the form of a presentation and a site visit, and to facilitate a question-and-answer session. Information gained may be incorporated into the future solicitation or used as a basis for additional research into alternative methods of executing this project. Participants will be given ample opportunities to talk directly with the Glen Canyon Power plant team during and after the Industry Day. TARGET AUDIENCE: Interested and potential offerors including prime contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and contractors interested in teaming or joint venture arrangements. All should be aware that two separate Industry Days are being conducted back-to-back for two separate projects (Generator Rebuilds and GSU Transformers and Associated Equipment Replacements) at the same location. This was done recognizing that potential offerors and interested vendors may have an interest in both projects and therefore could attend on both days without expending time and incurring costs for two separate visits. It is also believed that it would increase vendor interest and attendance for both projects. You may request a copy of the draft plans and specifications by following the instructions below under "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION." WHEN: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 WHERE: Carl V. Hayden Visitor's Center Auditorium, Glen Canyon Dam, Page, Arizona TIME: 0900 - 1600 Arizona Standard Time REGISTRATION: Please register for this event by close of business October 12, 2012 by sending an email to
