Haley Veterans Hospital, Pharmacy building electrical system. The address of the exact building where the work will be conducted is 12210 Bruce B. Downs Blvd., Tampa, Florida 33612, which is one block south of the main hospital. A firm fixed price purchase order will be issued as a result of this RFQ. The pharmacy at this time does not have backup generators and requires them in the event of power loss. In order to support the electrical needs of the pharmacy, 2 industrial towable, 60kW diesel generators are required. They need to be towable because the current layout of the building and overall composition of the property does not allow for storage directly next to where they would be connected hence why the need to be mobile. Additionally, the 60kW generator will require being in compliance with the appropriate EPA regulations. In order for the generator to be utilized, there will be minor electrical work required on the pharmacy building. The pharmacy building located at 12210 Bruce B. Downs Blvd will be the only location where physical modifications will be made to accommodate the generator. The main electrical room located on the north/west corner of the pharmacy building is where all the installation of the new electrical equipment will occur. Below is a list of what is required per the consultation of onsite electricians: "A 200amp/250volt rated 3 phase automatic transfer switch (ATS), will be installed in the main electrical room north/west corner. "A 200amp/208volt rated 3 phase power Generator Docking Station with male 'cam-lock' receptacles will be installed outside entrance of the Dermatology area. "The existing electrical panel 'P2' will be utilized as the new "Emergency Panel". "The 150amp rating plug in the existing circuit breaker feeding panel "P2" in panel 'MDP' will be replaced with a 200amp rating plug. This will upgrade the panel to 200amps matching the generator capabilities. "New conduit and 200amp/208/3 phase wiring will be installed from panel 'MDP' to the ATS. "New conduit and 200amp/208/3 phase wiring will be installed above the ceiling from the Generator Docking Station to the ATS.
