01. OBJECTIVES AND DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
JEA is seeking an experienced and qualified design and construction team to perform all engineering, permitting, design, structure/material procurement, and construction services required to build a new 230/26kV substation at the southwest corner of the intersection of Normandy Blvd and New World Rd, in Jacksonville FL, 32221. See Figure 1.
Figure 1: Substation Site
01.01 Background
JEA has secured a transmission corridor to extend an existing 230kV transmission circuit to serve existing and new customers in the area. A distribution substation, to be named New World Substation, will be built on the south side of Normandy Blvd to serve the needs in the area. The substation has a proposed in-service date of
November, 2028.
01.02 Project Description
This substation will be provisioned for three (3) power transformers, nine (9) distribution feeders, and three (3) cap banks. There is an additional provision within the substation for either one (1) additional power transformer, or a transmission line. Initially, two (2) power transformers, six (6) distribution feeders, one (1) CapSwitcher, and one (1) cap bank will be installed, while the remaining 3rd power transformer will be installed at a future, undetermined date.
The high-side of the substation will be of a breaker-and-a-half scheme, with a voltage of 230kV, as shown in
Figure 2.
Figure 2: 230kV Portion of Substation
The low-side of the substation will consist of a 26kV bus system to accommodate three (3) power transformers, with nine (4) 1200 amp feeder breakers, and one (1) 5.4MVAR capacitor bank associated to each transformer, as shown in Figure 3. The three (3) transformer will be interconnected with the use of two (2) main bus tie breakers. This project will install (9) 1200 amp feeder breakers, and one (1) 5.4MVAR capacitor bank, with provisions made for a T2 capacitor bank, to be installed at a future undetermined date.
Figure 3: 26kV Portion of Substation
Figure 4 is a depiction of the initial, geographically referenced, breaker-and-a-half scheme substation layout.
The layout establishes a transmission corridor, fence, roadway, and areas for retention pond(s).
Figure 4: Initial Substation Layout
At the commencement of construction, the Proposer shall clear the substation parcel, except for the first 135’ on the north side of the substation parcel, which will be cleared by the supporting scope coordinated by JEA
Transmission Projects group. See Figure 5. This transmission project will clear their portion of the parcel in advance of this project to establish a transmission corridor.
Figure 5: Boundary for site Clearing. Area is green to be cleared by another
The JEA Transmission Projects group will install two (2) poles directly north of the two eastmost 230kV substation bays. During construction, the Proposer shall coordinate with the JEA transmission group, and inform the transmission group on when the substation project is ready to attach the transmission conductors and shield wire from the #1 and #2 transmission poles to the two (2) substation A-frames. See figure 6.
Figure 6: Transmission Coordination
Prior to the commencement of site clearing and construction of the substation, the JEA Distribution Projects group will remove the existing distribution line, located in the center of the substation parcel. See figure 7.
Figure 7: Existing Distribution OH Line
02. SCOPE OF SERVICES
JEA intends to award one (1) contract to the most highly qualified team that meets the minimum qualifications to submit a proposal and with which JEA can successfully negotiate a contract.
