About this file
This is a Basic Electrical Materials and Methods specification document for ITB No. 27-402/DL, issued by a Florida authority for the removal and replacement of telemetry cabinets in an existing SCADA (Supervisory, Control, And Data Acquisition) system. The project involves the replacement of thirty-three (33) telemetry cabinets through a series of phased projects and requires a licensed Florida General or Electrical Contractor to furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary for completion. The specification mandates that bidders or their authorized representatives conduct site visits before proposal submission to inspect existing conditions and note locations where work will be performed. The contractor must provide and install all equipment, conduit, and wiring according to electrical drawings and specifications, complete system testing upon completion, and deliver as-built drawings upon project completion. The contract is structured as an initial three-year period with an option to renew for an additional one-year term at the authority's sole discretion.
All materials must be new and unused, of the manufacturer's latest design, and comply with the latest National Electrical Code and all applicable national, local, and state codes. Specific equipment requirements include telemetry cabinet units LFS-3167 and LFS-3170 from SP Manufacturing, LLC. All electrical panels, enclosures, raceways, conduits, wireways, boxes, and cabinets must be fabricated of metal, with mounting hardware and Unistrut constructed of 316 stainless steel with no substitutes permitted. The contractor is responsible for furnishing and maintaining all temporary electrical facilities, including lighting and receptacle outlets throughout the project. All equipment furnished and installed is guaranteed against defects in workmanship, materials, and installation for a minimum period of one year from acceptance.
