About this file
This is a specifications document for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for the Replace Electrical project at Memorial Unit in Rosharon, Texas, prepared by Smith Seckman Reid, Inc. The project involves replacing the existing radial electrical power distribution system serving the main facility, documented through comprehensive Division 01, 03, 07, 23, 26, 31, and 33 specifications issued for proposal on September 30, 2025. The scope includes installing two redundant 2500 KVA transformers with outdoor and indoor distribution loops, replacing unit substations, relocating steam piping, constructing new door openings in the spline utility corridor, installing new mezzanine support connections in the boiler room, and documenting the existing 208V/120V distribution system throughout the facility. The project also requires structural concrete work, metal wall panels, firestopping, HVAC mechanical systems with new piping and insulation, and associated infrastructure modifications. The document establishes detailed requirements for contractor quality control, testing and inspection services by independent laboratories, temporary facilities and storm water pollution prevention, operation and maintenance documentation, warranties, and project record documents to be delivered upon substantial completion.
The specifications mandate that contractors maintain a comprehensive quality control system with a dedicated Quality Control Manager having appropriate engineering or construction credentials and minimum experience requirements, with daily reporting and deficiency tracking throughout construction. All materials and equipment must comply with applicable ASTM, NFPA, ANSI, and UL standards, with manufacturers certified and experienced in their respective fields. The project requires coordination with the Texas Historical Commission, which determined that formal review was not necessary for the proposed scope. Contractors must provide product data, shop drawings, samples, and mock-ups for approval prior to installation; establish a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan if more than one acre will be disturbed; and complete final cleaning and closeout activities including preparation of operation and maintenance manuals and project record documents. The contractor is responsible for all costs associated with temporary utilities, facilities, testing, inspections, equipment removal, and restoration activities, with no charge for connection to TDCJ's permanent water and electrical services.

SECTION 01 00 00 – SCOPE OF WORK [Standard TDCJ Specification]
PART 1 – GENERAL
1.1 SUMMARY
A. Existing Conditions
Construction activities consist of replacing the existing radial system serving the main facility and document the 120V/208V distribution equipment for future replacement. The radial distribution system is currently served from one 1,500 KVA stepdown transformer fed on the primary side from a single 12.5 KV utility overhead line. The secondary side of the 1,500 KVA transformer supplies power to a 5 KV, 600A main switchgear. The switchgear powers seven unit substations and a chiller. Five unit substations are located in the building core utility hallway identified as “The Spline;” unit substation K is located in a roof top electrical room identified as “Baby Spline” and substation C is located in the boiler room. The unit substations provide power to over two hundred 208V-loads throughout the building. The main building switchgear also powers a chiller located outside; the chiller voltage is 480V.
The current available standby power capacity is 850KW provided by the two three phase generators, one 500kW and one 350kW. Both generators are installed outside the boiler room in weather/sound enclosures. The 500kW generator is 480V; this voltage is stepped down to 208V through a 500kVA transformer installed indoors in the first level of the boiler room. The 350kW generator is 208V and powers the stand-by distribution system directly. Each generator serves limited loads. At this time, only selected loads in the main building are served by the generator. Transfer switches are manually operated switches with contactors.
The miscellaneous loads connected directly to the 12.5KV overhead line include the maintenance shop, east dormitory, west dormitory, tire shop and old building.
Dedicated transformers step voltage down to 208/120V for each building. The stand-by system does not provide power to any of the miscellaneous loads under the current configuration.
B. Proposed System
The proposed power distribution system will consist of two redundant 2500KVA, 12.5/4.16kV outdoor transformers that power one indoor loop and one outdoor loop. One transformer has enough capacity to serve 100% of the load. Each 2500KVA transformer will power one outdoor pad mounted switchgear. Two groups of sectionalizing switches will create the loops between pads mounted switchgears; one group will form the outdoor loop and the other will form the indoor loop. These loops will provide redundancy for the system downstream. The outdoor loop will provide power to the chiller yard and the tire shop; in the future, it will also provide power for the maintenance shop, east dorm, and west dorm.
The indoor loop will run underground from the pad mounted switchgear to a point close to the perimeter of the building. A combination of conduits and cable trays will carry the medium voltage cables into the building and route them to the unit substations. The medium voltage cables will be clearly identified as medium voltage with voltage rating.
Memorial Unit Section 01 00 00 – Page 2 of 5 Replace Electrical - Issued for Proposal MWR# 00715006
The indoor loop will provide power to the existing indoor unit substations located in the boiler room, spline and baby spline. One 5KV selector switch will be available for each existing unit substation; unit substations D, K and E will share selector switches with unit substations B, C and A respectively. Selector switches powering two unit substations will require double lugs to accommodate cable terminations.
The purpose of the selector switches is to provide the option to disconnect any unit substation from the loop while maintaining other loads connected to the loop energized. The loop will remain open in one point of the circuit between the two main service transformers; this operation will be enforced by providing kirk-key interlock in every selector switch with n-1 keys. Keeping the loop open in one point will prevent the two main service transformers from operating in parallel. The point where the loop is opened can vary at any time. Thus, the load can be distributed between the two transformers in different percentages.
The low voltage (208V) scope consists of documenting the 208/120V system from the unit substation to the final distribution panel. The documentation will include records of the panel location, power source, panel rating and characteristics, conduit size and type, cable size and type, manufacturing or installation year, and conduit distance between the substations and the panels. The intent of this piece of scope is to provide TDCJ with accurate information to accurately estimate the replacement of all 208V and 120V power and lighting panels, and respective main feeders located throughout the facility.
C. Support Activities
The structural portion of this project involves providing electrical equipment foundations on the outside of the complex and equipment pads inside the building. It also requires the installation of three new door openings in the spline and reinforcing around those door openings (refer to section 01 64 00 for additional information). The mezzanine support connections in the boiler room do not meet the specifications of the original design; to address this issue, it is required to shore and install new mezzanine support connections in the boiler room. Finally, a single exit door will be constructed in the east end of the Spline to comply with the NEC egress requirements for electrical spaces (refer to section 01 64 00 for additional information). The mechanical scope of work pertains to the relocation of existing elements that are in conflict with new electrical equipment being provided. These mechanical items being relocated are largely existing steam piping and expansion loops. All of the steam expansion loops will be replaced with new piping and insulation per specifications.
1.2 SCOPE OF WORK
A. The following Scope of Work is for reference only and does not intend to depict all the tasks necessary to deliver a fully functional system for TDCJ. Drawings and specifications shall be considered the primary source of information for project scope definition.
