Summary
This is an Electrical Project Manual for the Escambia County Area Transit Facility (Project No. 2613) located at 100 Clarinda Lane in Pensacola, Florida, prepared by Architectural Design Group, Inc. The document establishes the electrical specifications and requirements for the new ECAT Facility infrastructure project, which includes an Administration Building, Bus Wash, Fuel Depot, and Maintenance Building. The electrical work encompasses underground raceways, common work results, raceways and boxes, and conduit identification systems. The contractor is responsible for providing and installing fully functional electrical systems, including all minor details necessary for system operation, and must ensure compliance with Florida Building Codes, Pensacola city codes, and Escambia County standards. All materials must be new and free of defects, with equipment warranty required for a minimum of one year from factory supervised startup or substantial completion, whichever is later, and contractor warranty for one year from substantial completion. Shop drawings must be submitted electronically in PDF format and reviewed by the Engineer prior to fabrication or installation, with the contractor bearing costs for resubmittals beyond the first review.
The specifications require the electrical contractor to coordinate all work with other trades and maintain daily record drawings documenting changes and deviations from contract specifications. Underground conduit installations must be buried a minimum of 24 inches below finished grade with red flagging tape and tracer wire for identification, and all conduits must be labeled at both ends with intended system and destination information. The contractor must obtain all required permits and pay associated fees, notify the Construction Manager of scheduled inspections seven working days in advance, and conduct a site survey prior to bidding to understand utility routing complexities and phasing requirements. Substitution requests for alternate manufacturers must be submitted at least ten days prior to bid day, with any approved substitutions requiring the contractor to pay for associated architectural and engineering design changes. The project requires completion of as-built drawings and marked-up specifications upon project closeout.
