Q1: Civil drawing C100 indicates demolition of existing underground electrical conduits per keynote #3. At the pre-bid meeting, during the walk-thru, noticed that the existing wood prefab building and transformer have already been removed. Can me assume that the underground conduits have been removed also or possibly the conductors removed and conduits caped below grade. Please advise as to the extent of the demolition already performed.

A1: The underground conduit was abandoned in place but the wire was pulled. Conduit to the pole was power and conduit to building 2 was communication.

Q2: Civil drawing C300 indicates routing of proposed electrical feeder for Wet Lab. The dark line indicates to intercept existing electrical underground conduits. Please advise as to the size and quantity of existing conduits to be intercept.

A2: There will not be any interception points due to the requirements of the new building and the location of services entering the building. Electrical shall be run from the new transformer and communications will be ran from the southeast corner of building 1.

Q3: Electrical drawing E501 shows on electrical riser an existing utility pad mounted transformer, existing 500Kw Generator and an existing Switchboard “MSB” with c/t cabinet, main section, ats section and distribution section. Per the pre-bid meeting, these items are to be included in this scope of work. Please advise on location of each of these items plus schedule for new “MSB” including size of distribution circuit breakers and feeder to existing buildings that are going to be feed from this switchboard.

A3: Drawing E501 has a drawing on top showing the current configuration. The bottom drawing is the configuration that we will require so the contract must include the purchase of all equipment required to build the configuration that is shown to support the project.
