I need to run a power cord through an existing concrete foundation. There
is a schedule 40 PVC 1 5/8" ID, 1 15/16" OD waterline embedded in the
concrete that has 2 90degree bends, they are standard 90deg corners close to
each end of a ~20' run. Is there any chance that a standard fish tape would
be able to be pushed through?

Yes it is possible. If the fish tape doesn't work, get some light twine and
a cotton ball, tie the twine to the cotton ball, insert in one end of the
run, and put your shop vac on the other, or push through with compressed air
from the same side.
