Project Description: This project will replace the main underground medium voltage feeder cables from the local utility company's substation located at the east gate of NAS Whiting Field to the main switchgear. Project includes construction of a new medium voltage duct bank system, including manholes and concrete encased duct bank. The route of the replacement duct bank includes directional drill under existing taxiway, drainage ditches, spillway, and existing duct bank. Removal of existing medium voltage cabling will require proper handling of the existing paper insulated lead coated (PILC) cabling and proper handling for removal and disposal of asbestos containing materials. The existing duct bank will be abandoned in place after removal of the existing cables. This project will provide a new medium voltage structure (H structure) to support the new main feeder connections, expand the required grounding grid and fenced area for the replacement structures, and provide new re-closers to serve the new feeder conductors. This project will also provide a new overhead connection to the existing feeders at the new switching structure. This project will remove and replace one existing main electrical switchgear lineup consisting of nineteen (19) compartments in the high bay area of a building. The new switchgear will be installed on a 6" concrete pad approximately 1,000 feet from the exterior of the facility. The pad mounted switchgear will be sized as required to accommodate the four feeders and distribution circuits. Power poles and aerial conductors will be reworked and upsized to become main lines to replace the overhead laterals to the switchgear. Electrical wiring, grounding, cross arm supports, insulators, connections and terminations, testing and commissioning will be provided. The new switchgear line-up will be standalone walk-in type switchgear. Overhead circuits will be fed directly from the new switchgear line-up via underground connections to risers and overhead extensions. The new switchgear will be installed in the new location prior to demolition of the existing switchgear to minimize any outages required. The overhead lines will be reworked to remove the existing primary connections to the circuits and provide redundant switching capabilities. Load monitoring and profile will be provided to determine the existing demand load of the three circuits (north, south, and west). The government is only seeking a 2 to 6 page response. The information which must be contained in your response is as follows: 1) Provide company information to include name, address, phone number, email address and DUNS number. 2) Business size and socio-economic program (Small Business, HUBZone, 8(a), SDVOSB, etc); 3) Bonding Capacity: Provide surety's name, telephone number and point of contact, your maximum bonding capacity per project.
