1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project consists of installing a new dedicated electrical service for the boiler room serving

Apartments 152 A and B at the Western Arctic National Parklands (WEAR) administrative base in

Kotzebue, Alaska.

Adding (Highlighted in Yellow):

This project consists of modifying the existing electrical system serving Apartments 152 A and B at the

Western Arctic National Parklands (WEAR) administrative base in Kotzebue, Alaska to provide separate metering of the boiler room electrical loads.

The existing boiler room electrical loads—including one boiler, four outlets, one overhead light, and a heat trace circuit—are currently connected to the electrical service of one residential unit. This configuration results in shared building systems being billed to a tenant account.

The existing boiler room electrical loads—including one hardwired boiler, two hardwired circulating pumps, four outlets, one overhead light, one heat trace circuit, and one fire alarm bell—are currently connected to the electrical service of one residential unit. This configuration results in shared building systems being billed to a tenant account.

Work under this project includes installation of a new service meter, service disconnect, and electrical panel; installation of feeders and conduit; and rewiring of all boiler room loads to the new service.

Obsolete wiring will be removed or properly abandoned.

Work under this project includes installation of a separate electrical meter and modification of the existing electrical system as necessary to separately meter the boiler room electrical consumption. The Contractor shall provide all wiring, conduit, equipment, connections, and other electrical modifications necessary to accomplish this work. A new dedicated electrical service panel is not required unless determined necessary by existing conditions, applicable code, or utility requirements and approved by the

Government. The completed system shall allow boiler room electrical consumption to be separately measured and billed to the Government rather than the residential tenant.

In addition to the base work, optional work may be performed at the Northwest Alaska Heritage Center, located at 171 3rd Avenue, Kotzebue, Alaska. This work includes HVAC system troubleshooting and repair, installation of a new electrical outlet, and inspection and potential modification of exterior electrical systems.

No changes to building layout, occupancy, or system capacity are included. Work will be funded using

Repair/Rehabilitation (RERE) funds.

2 SITE VISITS

The Contractor shall conduct site visits to all locations included in this scope of work prior to ordering materials and beginning project work. Failure of the Contractor to visit the sites and confirm all existing conditions prior to beginning project work will not relieve the Contractor from completing the project at the contracted price.

Site visits shall include, at a minimum, the following locations:

• Apartments 152 A & B (Kotzebue Housing)

• Northwest Alaska Heritage Center (171 3rd Avenue, Kotzebue, Alaska)

During these site visits, the Contractor shall verify all existing conditions, including but not limited to:

Electrical Service Work (Apartments 152 A & B):

• Existing electrical service configuration

• Existing electrical service and metering configuration

• Panel locations and available space

• Existing panel locations and circuit configuration

• Routing paths for feeders and conduit

Existing wiring conditions and load connections

• Existing boiler room loads and associated circuits

• Available locations and requirements for installation of the additional meter

• Wiring and conduit modifications necessary to provide separate metering

Utility requirements affecting the proposed installation

Access, staging, and material storage constraints

Heritage Center Work (Bid Options):

• HVAC system configuration, including motor, controls, and bypass system

• Existing electrical conditions related to the HVAC system

• Location and routing for new outlet installation

• Existing circuits available for connection

• Parking lot electrical system layout, including outlet locations, control systems, and underground routing

The Contractor shall notify the Facility Manager or designated NPS appointee of any discrepancies or conditions that may affect the work prior to proceeding.
