The proposal also involves upgrades to the existing power plant. Proposal Details This project retrofits the existing Cleaver Brooks boilers with Autoflame controls, and installs new Autoflame control software on the existing plant computer. This will allow for full boiler operation via the Autoflame system, including burner control, all safeties, and sequencing. The Trench Vault Utilidor will be installed throughout various locations within the facility grounds that will house the new steam line. In total, approximately 5,000 lineal feet of new utilidor and casing will be constructed. The utilidor structure itself is a concrete vault approximately 5 feet 8 inches in width and 4 feet in height. The entire utilidor will be underground with no surface exposures aside from manholes. Materials to be excavated for this construction of the utilidor are estimated to be around 7,300 cubic yards. Excess fill materials that will be placed back on-site in nearby locations are estimated to be around 5,000 cubic yards. Additional plumbing and mechanical renovation will occur throughout many buildings at the facility. These include the following: Department of Corrections 2 Washington Corrections Center • Buildings R-4, R-5,Evergreen, and Cedar will receive new 3-inch steam and 2.5-inch condensate lines to be placed in crawl space areas in the existing mechanical rooms. • Building-B: New 3-inch steam and 2-1/2-inch condensate lines to be placed in the crawlspace and exit at the northeast corner of the Visiting Room. Pipes to be aligned vertically up the wall of the Visiting Room, onto the roof of Building-B, then east, on the roof of the walkway between Building-B and Building-A. • Building-C: New 6-inch steam and 4-inch condensate lines to be placed in the crawlspace to the existing mechanical room. • Building-D: New 2-inch steam and 2-inch condensate lines to be placed in the crawlspace to the existing mechanical room. • Building-E: New 2-inch steam and 2-inch condensate lines to be placed in the crawlspace above ground floor to the existing mechanical room. • Building-G: New 8-inch steam and 6-inch condensate lines to be placed overhead to the existing mechanical room. New 6-inch steam and 4-inch condensate lines to be placed in the crawlspace and food service tunnel to the R-Units. Lines will be enclosed in the security screen. • R-Units: New 6-inch steam and 4-inch condensate lines to be placed overhead and enclosed in R-Units walkway to the existing mechanical rooms and Building-B. • R-Unit to Building-C and D Tunnel: New 6-inch steam and 4-inch condensate lines to be placed overhead and enclosed in the tunnel to Building-C. History of Facility The Washington Corrections Center(WCC) is located approximately five miles northwest of the City of Shelton in Mason County. WCC opened in 1964 under the management of the Washington Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). In 1981, WCC was transferred to the Washington Department of Corrections and is currently a multi-custody correctional institution. The original steam distribution system was installed during 1962 and 1963 during construction of the WCC. Condensate piping was replaced with Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic pipe in 1992. The steam plant equipment received an upgrade in 1994. The specific components of the steam plant equipment consist of the following: two 600-horsepower Cleaver Brooks fire-tube boilers, one 800- horsepower Cleaver Brooks fire-tube boiler, stack economizers, pumps de-aerator, and feedwater systems. The steam lines were originally wrapped with insulation and buried directly into the ground. Over time, this insulation has been exposed to moisture which has Department of Corrections 3 Washington Corrections Center caused it to deteriorate and rot. As a result, the existing steam system is not energy efficient and is expensive to maintain. 12. Location of the proposal.
