EP916-261658 Switchgear Switchboard 2-5 Replacement

The project involves replacing Switchgear and Switchboards #2 through #5 at a federal facility in Ottawa, requiring the demolition of outdated electrical distribution equipment and installation of modern, high-reliability systems across the basement, first floor, and third floor electrical rooms. Core upgrades include new transformers, busways, cable trays, and automatic transfer switches to improve system capacity, redundancy, and operational integrity. The scope also integrates advanced safety technologies such as arc flash detection systems and full connectivity to the existing Energy Monitoring and Control System to enable real-time oversight and predictive maintenance. To ensure uninterrupted service during construction, temporary feeders and phased work sequences will be deployed to maintain continuous power to normal, emergency, and uninterruptible systems throughout the facility. The solicitation, identified as EP916-261658 under WS5715005943, is issued by the Department of Public Works and Government Services on behalf of the Government of Canada, with responses due by July 3, 2026. The project falls under NAICS code 238210 and is targeted for performance within the National Capital Region, with Dale Rudderham as the primary point of contact for inquiries.
