About this file
This document is Section 01041 (Project Coordination) of the specifications for ITB No. 27-402/DL, a removal and replacement project for telemetry cabinets serving an existing SCADA system operated by a Florida authority. The contractor must provide all necessary personnel, equipment, labor, materials, and incidentals to remove and replace thirty-three (33) telemetry cabinets across multiple phased projects. The work requires a licensed Florida General or Electrical Contractor with demonstrated electrical safety certifications, PLC/RTU programming expertise, and instrumentation loop testing capabilities. The contract will run for an initial three-year period with an option to renew for an additional one-year term at the authority's sole discretion. Bid submissions must include bid security in the form of a surety bond or cashier's check equal to at least five percent (5%) of the total bid amount. All questions and clarifications must be submitted through the Bonfire platform by specified deadlines, and bid responses must be submitted electronically through Bonfire with confirmation of receipt by the stated due date.
The specifications establish comprehensive requirements for contractor performance, including maintenance of workspace safety compliant with OSHA and NFPA 70E standards, protection of all existing structures and utilities including fiber optic backbones and Ethernet networks, and provision of unobstructed access routes with two clear vehicular lanes maintained at all times. The contractor bears full responsibility and cost for any damage to existing or new equipment, with defects discovered during final loop-checking and SCADA verification to be remedied at no additional compensation. The specifications provide for immediate owner intervention at contractor expense if safety or operational continuity provisions are not maintained within twenty-four hours of notice, with such corrective costs deductible from monies due the contractor. No set-asides, incumbents, or specific pricing terms are identified in this section of the specifications.

SECTION 01041
PROJECT COORDINATION
PART 1 – GENERAL
1.01 WORK PROGRESS
A. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish personnel and equipment which will be efficient, appropriate, and large enough to secure a satisfactory quality of work and a rate of progress which will ensure the completion of the work within the time stipulated in the Contract Specifications.
If at any time such personnel or equipment appears to the OWNER to be inefficient, inappropriate, or insufficient for securing the quality of work required—specifically regarding electrical safety certifications, PLC/RTU programming expertise, and instrumentation loop testing capabilities—the OWNER may order the CONTRACTOR to increase the efficiency, change the character, or increase the personnel and equipment, and the CONTRACTOR shall conform to such order. Failure of the OWNER to give such order shall in no way relieve the CONTRACTOR of his obligations to secure the quality of the work and rate of progress.
1.02 PRIVATE LAND
A. The CONTRACTOR shall not enter or occupy private land outside of easements or facility boundaries, except by written permission of the land owner.
1.03 OPEN ENCLOSURES AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY
A. All open electrical panels, live switchgear, and exposed wiring shall be adequately safeguarded by providing temporary arc flash boundaries, barricades, caution signs, safety locks, and other means to prevent accidents to persons and damage to property. The CONTRACTOR shall, at his own expense, provide suitable and safe workspace protection compliant with OSHA and NFPA 70E standards for both facility personnel and workmen.
1.04 MAINTENANCE OF ACCESS
A. CONTRACTOR shall provide reasonable access to other contractors, to the facility/landfill personnel, and to the public through the provision of clear, unobstructed pathways to all adjacent equipment rooms, electrical panels, and facility roadways. Two (2) free lanes must remain available for all vehicular traffic.
1.05 MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC
A. Staging of electrical equipment, old Telemetry Cabinets, conduits, or other obstructions due to construction that will prevent the normal flow of traffic or access to critical facility infrastructure during an extended construction stoppage, for any reason, shall be minimized.
In the event an extended construction stoppage is found to be necessary, CONTRACTOR shall, at his own expense, clear all traffic and access routes. Extended stoppage will be defined by the OWNER.

B. All removed equipment, crating, and debris shall be placed so that vehicular and pedestrian access to surrounding electrical rooms and process areas may be maintained at all times. If the CONTRACTOR’s operations cause traffic or safety hazards, he shall immediately remedy the situation, provide temporary protections, or take other measures for safety satisfactory to the OWNER.
C. Detours or temporary access routes around construction or staging areas will be subject to the approval of the OWNER. Where detours are permitted, the CONTRACTOR shall provide all necessary barricades and signs.
D. Any traffic maintenance measures the CONTRACTOR is going to implement during construction should be consistent with Palm Beach County Design Standards; Manual of Uniform Traffic Devices; and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) standards.
1.06 WATER FOR CONSTRUCTION PURPOSES (NOT USED)
1.07 CONNECTION TO WORK BY OTHERS
A. Construction or system integration by others (including the OWNER's SCADA ENGINEER) may occur at the same time and on the same networks as work being done under this Contract. The CONTRACTOR will, therefore, conduct his operations to seamlessly interface with other contractors, network integrators, and related work.
1.08 PROTECTION AND RELOCATION OF EXISTING STRUCTURES, CABLES, AND UTILITIES
A. The CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility for the protection of all structures, field instruments, and utilities, public or private, including fiber optic backbones, Ethernet networks, DC control loops, and AC power feeds, whether or not they are shown on the Drawings.
B. The CONTRACTOR shall carefully ring-out, label, support, and protect all existing field wiring and communication cables to be migrated to the new Telemetry Cabinets. Any damage resulting from the CONTRACTOR’s operations shall be repaired, re-terminated, or replaced by the CONTRACTOR at the CONTRACTOR’s expense.
PART 2 – PRODUCTS
2.01 PROTECTION OF NEW TELEMERTY EQUIPMENT AND INSTRUMENTATION
A. All newly installed Telemetry Cabinets, sensitive electronics, PLCs, power supplies, and surge protection devices shall be carefully protected from dust, moisture, physical impact, and environmental degradation. No unauthorized modifications, field-drilling without internal component protection, or exposure to weather shall be allowed.
Any damaged electronics shall be replaced entirely by the CONTRACTOR at his own expense.
B. All panels and enclosures shall be protected and sealed in a manner approved by the OWNER. Should any part of the new control system components become shorted, structurally compromised, or otherwise damaged, all such damaged portions of the work shall be completely

C. If, during the final loop-checking and SCADA verification of the work, any wiring defects, communication drops, faulty I/O points, or assembly omissions are found, the CONTRACTOR shall cause the same to be repaired or removed and replaced by proper materials and workmanship without extra compensation. Further, the CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible for the satisfactory maintenance, firmware stability, and physical integrity of the Telemetry cabinet installation for at least the guarantee period described in the Contract.
D. The CONTRACTOR shall take all necessary precautions to prevent damage to any internal electronic components due to transient voltage surges, improper grounding, or incorrect voltage distribution during installation, testing, and up until the project is formally accepted by the OWNER.
2.02 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN SYSTEM SAFETY AND CONTINUOUS OPERATION
A. If the CONTRACTOR, at any time, fails to comply with the safety, protection, and operational continuity provisions of Paragraph 2.01, the OWNER will immediately notify the CONTRACTOR of such non-compliance. If the CONTRACTOR fails to remedy the unsatisfactory maintenance or dangerous electrical condition within twenty-four (24) hours (or immediately if an environmental or safety emergency arises) after receipt of such notice, the OWNER will immediately proceed to secure the system, correct the loops, or deploy emergency bypass operators, and the entire cost of this operational protection will be deducted from the monies due or to become due the CONTRACTOR on his contract.
