The City of Independence Power & Light Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Blue Valley Unit 3 Chimney project. The project involves the removal of loose sections of the chimney sheath and potentially the partial or complete removal of the stack structure. The contractor is required to furnish all necessary equipment and materials to complete the stack work, including safety equipment. The RFP was later cancelled, and a revised solicitation may be issued in the future. Key aspects of the project include:
• The chimney is a 250-foot reinforced concrete shell with an independent self-supporting brick liner.
• The chimney has a full-height exterior ladder, platforms, an aviation warning system, and a lightning protection system.
• The contractor must evaluate the cost and proposed work scope for partial or complete removal of the stack structure.
• The City of Independence Power & Light Department is the agency responsible for the project.
• The project is located in Independence, Missouri.
