About this file
This document contains questions and answers regarding a solicitation to upgrade the 480V electrical system at a Department of Veterans Affairs facility. The solicitation seeks a contractor to install a new 1150 KVA transformer with pad and barrier walls, upgrade the 480V switchgear, correct wiring deficiencies for CAT Scan rooms, and move electrical feeds for several air handlers and associated equipment to emergency power circuits. Transformers must be new, and shutdowns for work in the manhole and changing over power to the new transformer will be limited to 4-8 hours on preferred Fridays after 5PM with two weeks notice required. EMT is acceptable in the basement crawl space. The work in rooms A-213 and A-222 and items 4-5 on drawing EP001B are not part of any deductive alternates.
