Background: Currently, the RTP CUP does not have backup electrical power for any of the chilled water production facilities. If the campus electrical utility service were to fail, the RTP campus would not have the ability to provide chilled water for cooling and humidification control in the Vivarium and research facilities. Buildings, laboratories, and facilities on the RTP and EPA campuses require continuous chilled water flow. If chilled water service is interrupted vivarium research and highly sensitive scientific equipment that requires stringent temperature and humidity controls could be damaged. Therefore, the ability to quickly recover from electric power failure is of paramount importance for assured continued operations. The objective of this project is to improve the Medium Voltage Electric (MVE) infrastructure for the NIEHS campus and upgrade the power production and distribution system for standby chiller function within the CUP. This work will consist of correcting medium voltage and low voltage duct bank settlement concerns and conductors throughout campus, replacement of existing medium voltage feeder 107/204 fed from Building 107 to all connected loads, installation of above ground medium voltage switches for all taps, construction of a new medium voltage generator yard and electrical vault underneath ground to provide uninterruptable chilled water production and harden power distribution for critical support buildings serving the RTP campus.
