McNary Dam, seen here from the Washington side of the Columbia River, is a critical passage point for migrating salmon and one that river managers have been trying to improve for years. (Bruce Ely/The Oregonian) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seeks bids to supply 10 valves for the piping system at 980-MW McNary Dam on the Columbia River. Bids are due May 4.

Built in 1953 in Umatilla County, Ore., McNary has been undergoing a rehabilitation program by the Corps. American Governor Co. received a contract in February to overhaul and modify 35 governor oil pumps at McNary.

The Corps' Walla Walla District now seeks bids to replace 10 flanged outside screw and yoke valves for a raw water strainer upgrade project. The work is for the powerhouse fire pump raw water strainer supply and discharge piping.
