About this file

This document is Amendment 0003 to Solicitation No. 1333MF26Q0102, issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Field Delegates on September 10, 2026, with an effective date of September 10, 2026. The amendment is not extended and responds to questions received during the solicitation period.

The solicitation addresses replacement of a defective Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) controller at an NMFS facility. The existing equipment specifications are: Eaton ATC 300+ model ATC3C2X40400XDU (Serial #044447), 400 amps, 480 volts, with cabinet #478C642H01. The contractor must remove and dispose of the defective transfer switch controller and associated defective switchgear from the campus. The work involves replacing equipment that provides power to the Maintenance Building, Boiler, and AC Control Room. Work must be coordinated with Campus Point of Contact Michael Cordova to minimize operational disruption; ideally scheduling occurs during after-hours (5:00 PM or later), weekends, or non-campus work days to avoid campus air conditioning loss. The contractor is responsible for opening all electrical panels and must comply with applicable regulatory requirements set by city and state regulators. Campus personnel will provide escort services and unlock buildings, while field verification will be conducted jointly by both the contractor and facility personnel. Prints and files for existing systems will be made available to the awarded contractor on-site. The amendment includes 29 numbered Q&A responses clarifying scope, equipment details, inspection standards, access requirements, and documentation procedures for the electrical system work.

2. There is no detail in the attachment about the ATS itself. Can you please provide the amperage, voltage, cabinet, bypass/non-bypass, SER rated, etc.?

AMPS: 400

Volts: 480 Cabinet # 478C642H01

3. I will need more details on what is existing to be able to provide pricing. Do you have the serial # off of the existing ATS that is being replaced? Are there any one-lines or specifications available?

Make: Eaton ATC 300+ Model #: ATC3C2X40400XDU Serial Number #: 044447 Line drawings or blue prints indicating routing of power lines into the campus would have to be cleared by security office as they are details about the critical infrastructure on the campus.

4. Please confirm the required ATS configuration, including transition type, service-entrance rating, and whether a 3-pole or 4-pole switched-neutral arrangement is required.

6. Please provide the maximum allowable electrical shutdown duration, any required outage windows, and whether temporary power is required during the replacement.

The transfer switch controller that is to be replaced provides power to the Maintenance Building, Boiler and AC Control Room. When power is cut for the replacement of the defective equipment the campus will be without Air Conditioning. Coordination with the Campus POC (Michael Cordova) will have to be made in advance so that staff members can be diverted from the campus. Ideally work can be accomplished either during after hours (starting at 5:00pm, weekend or non-campus work day.

With coordination the interruption of the day to day work can be minimalized.
