Introduction

The City of Redding (City) and Redding Electric Utility (REU) own and operate a power

generation facility located at 17120 Clear Creek Rd, Redding, CA 96001. Energy is generated

using a combined cycle process with two natural gas turbines with attached Heat Recovery Steam

Generators (HRSGs) and one steam turbine.

The City is seeking proposals to provide off-site boiler feedwater pump and motor overhaul
