Stacey Chumney 615-225-6956 stacey.chumney@va.gov SCOPE OF WORK PROJECT NO. 621-10-117 CONDUCT SWITCHGEAR AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TESTING JAMES H. QUILLEN VA MEDICAL CENTER MOUNTAIN HOME, TENNESSEE 37684 Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, transportation, equipment, engineering, drafting and supervision to survey, clean, inspect, test, perform system studies and prepare as-built schematics for the electrical distribution systems and equipment at James H. Quillen VA Medical Center. This project will provide for complete inspection and operational testing on all existing electrical circuit breakers rated 90 amps or larger, transformers, switchgear, motor control centers, distribution centers, emergency power systems, emergency diesel generator sets and all other related electrical system components in accordance with NFPA 70B, NFPA 99 and NFPA 110, latest editions. Work shall include a complete Short- circuit, Coordination, Load-Flow and Reliability studies, cleaning, inspection, calibration, operational testing, identification of necessary preventive and corrective maintenance items and preparation of as-built schematics for electrical distribution site plan, feeder and riser diagrams and panel board schedules for all buildings included in the survey. This project requires full documentation in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC), NFPA 70B, NFPA 70E, NFPA 99, NFPA 101 and NFPA 110. Buildings included in the scope for studies, clean/inspect, testing and as-built schematic preparation: Buildings 5, 8, 20, 34, 37, 69, 77, 160, 161, 162, 200, 204, 205 and 206. Additional buildings to be included for studies, inspection and as-built schematic preparation only: Buildings 3, 115, 116. As-built schematics shall include a comprehensive campus electrical distribution system site plan. Contractor shall conduct inspection and testing in accordance with NFPA 70B for the following: Insulation, Low Voltage Circuit Breakers, Transformers, Protective Relays, Grounding Systems, Batteries, Switches, Medium and High Voltage Circuit Breakers, Fuses, Cables, Switchgear and Switchboard Assemblies, Surge Arresters, Power Factor Correction Capacitors and Emergency Systems. Contractor shall provide inspection reports for all work similar in content and format to those depicted in NFPA 70B Annex H. Testing and maintenance work for all major electrical distribution apparatus such as power transformers, switchgear, motor control centers, distribution centers, and breakers shall be accomplished as specified herein. Transformers of 500 kilovolt Amps (kVA) or larger must have the load tap changer inspected for tight connections, proper contact pressures, and signs of burning and pitting. Liquid transformers must have the cooling liquid tested and replaced when tests indicate that the liquid no longer meets manufacturers' requirements. Dry type transformers are to be thoroughly cleaned. Switchgear circuit breaker contacts are to be clean and in good alignment. The insulation system of metal-clad switch-gear is to be tested as part of the maintenance operation. All adjustable protective devices (relays) must be checked for proper calibration and recalibrate if necessary. All control systems must be tested for proper operation after maintenance is performed and before placing them back in normal service. All molded case circuit breakers (frames size 225 amps or less) must be tested to determine if contacts open and reclose when breaker is manually tripped and restored. All panels must be tested including emergency panels. The electrical system plans, schematic diagrams and equipment schedules provided as a part of the contract documents are not guaranteed to be accurate or the most up-to-date representation of systems and equipment in service at the facility. This information shall be used only as a guide for the contractor to become familiar with the campus and buildings in order to prepare a proposal for completing the work described herein. The contractor shall visit the premises to become familiar with all details of the work and working conditions. Contractor shall advise the contracting officer of any unresolved questions regarding facilities or electrical systems before finalizing a proposal to perform work. Drawings provided are listed below. LIST OF DRAWINGS Copies of all existing AutoCAD (dwg) drawings will be provided to the contractor in electronic format for use in preparation of the as-built schematics specified herein. As-built schematics prepared as a part of this project shall be delivered as follows: One electronic copy (dwg) prepared in AutoCAD Version 2007 or later, two full size sets (ANSI E 34 X 44) and five reduced-size sets (ANSI C 17 X 22). The contractor shall be specifically responsible for the coordination and phasing of the work, and ensure the safety of employees and workmen. Occupational Safety and Health Requirements (OSHA) - Part 1910 Subpart J The control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout) (1910.147), Occupational Safety and Health Requirements Part 1910 Subpart S Electrical (1910.301 1910.399) and Safety and Health Regulations for Construction Part 1926 Subpart K Electrical (1926.400 1926.499) shall apply. The Contractor shall coordinate all surveys, work, shut downs and outages with the VA COTR sufficiently well in advance to enable Engineering Service to make necessary arrangements to support the contract work. All outages shall be scheduled and approved in writing at least two weeks in advance. Work will only be authorized to proceed after the engineering staff and VA COTR are fully informed and have approved the schedule. Contractor must make provisions to perform all work between the hours of 7:30 p.m. until no later than 5:00 a.m. of the following morning. Work outside of these hours will be approved by the VA COTR on a case basis. Approximate work times will be submitted along with work schedule in writing for approval to the VA COTR. The contractor shall provide sufficient work force to minimize down time. Contractor will coordinate all work performed under this contract with that of other contractors at this facility.
