About this file

This document contains the construction specifications and drawings for the electrical infrastructure required to support the Building 420 Sector 36 Solid State Amplifiers project at Argonne National Laboratory. The key details include:

The electrical equipment required includes a 2000/2666kVA dry-type medium voltage transformer, two 3000A switchboards (one NEMA-3R, one NEMA-1), and four 480V power distribution panelboards. The transformer, switchboards, and panelboards must meet specific technical requirements detailed in the specification. The equipment will be procured under this solicitation, but installation and commissioning will be performed by an electrical contractor under a separate contract. This is a lowest price technically acceptable procurement, with proposals due by September 18th. The procurement is being issued by the Department of Energy Office of Science.
