This contract complies with all local and federal codes including the National Electric Testing Association (NETA) and National Electric Code (NEC) requirements for maintenance of our exterior electrical distribution systems and equipment. The DFC is transmission power fed with 115KV electrical service from Xcel Energy, which is transformed down to 13.8KV at our main substation consisting of an "X" and "Y" transformer and then distributed to each of our exterior transformers which directly feed the DFC buildings with 480/240V power. The high voltage substation requires a high voltage electrical foreman experienced in the operation, maintenance, and repair of high voltage substations. This contract also includes eight megawatts of solar production distribution systems which must be maintained in compliance with applicable code requirements. The resultant contract will be firm fixed-priced contract for a one-year base with four one-year options. The contractor will have a transition period tentatively starting November 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019, at no cost to the Government, with actual performance period tentatively commencing on or about December 1, 2019.
