1.0 Project Background

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

Work Order Number HIO21343-2J- East Range Provide Power and Communication Project Manager: Jason Curtis & Fredy Arevalo Date: May 25, 2022 HIO21343-2J. Provide Power and Communication. East Range Revision: 0

1.01 The East Range presently has no power and communications service for training units, and it is mainly worked for the Electronic Proving Ground (EPG) and their mission(s). DPTMS is requesting the installation of power and communication at the new training site. There is no available communication and electrical power in the area to support it. The project requires 400A, 3 phase, 120/208 V electrical service to provide electrical power to four 100A pedestal and to a communication Shelter. Additionally, the contractor will provide Fiber Optic Cable from building 86810 to East Range. This project will provide trenching for the 120/208V secondary line and communication. It will provide the 120/208V, 400A Service Entrance panel with breakers, 100A, 120/208V load panel breakers for each pedestal, a 10’x10’, standard height precast concrete building, communication materials and work. Fort Huachuca post power provider “Sulphur Spring Valley Electric Cooperative” (SSVEC) will provide and install power pole lines, transformer, and service entrance under a different task order.
