This is a Requests for Information (RFI) document for Solicitation 1232SA26Q0302, issued on April 14, 2026, containing a single question and answer regarding electrical service specifications.

The question addresses whether wiring to the service should be upgraded to 2000 amps and requests clarification on wire sizing, noting that the feeder schedule on sheet ES-601 only carries up to 1600 amps. The answer clarifies that the plan sheets are correct and the contractor is to provide a 1600A switchboard (SWBD) with a 1600A main breaker and 1600A of wire as indicated on the drawings. The response specifies that the total connected load is approximately 1200A with a metered historical demand of 308A, which allows for future electrical capacity expansion as needed. This RFI document serves to clarify electrical specifications and resolve potential ambiguity regarding service capacity requirements for the project.
