Appendix_VI_Adobe_Creek.docx

Appendix VI is an equipment list document for the Adobe Creek Substation, a facility managed by the City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU) in California. The document identifies five major pieces of equipment requiring surface preparation and painting services as part of a comprehensive substation equipment preservation project across seven electric substations in the City's distribution system. The equipment inventory includes one AC breaker (Westinghouse model 690-G-3500), two 20MVA transformers (Allis Chalmers, each measuring 195"W x 190"H x 195"D), one switchgear assembly (Allis Chalmers, measuring 180"d x 399"w x 100"H), and one capacitor house structure (Butler, measuring 15'd x 45'w x 12'h). The scope of work encompasses cleaning, surface preparation, corrosion treatment, priming, and application of high-performance protective coatings on transformers, breakers, steel structures, bus supports, and associated components at all seven substations to preserve critical infrastructure and mitigate corrosion.

The project requires qualified contractors experienced in performing surface preparation and painting services safely and efficiently in energized utility environments while adhering to all applicable regulations and environmental requirements. All materials and coating systems must meet or exceed utility-grade performance standards suitable for the Palo Alto region's environmental conditions. Contractors will be responsible for proper containment, waste handling, and environmental compliance throughout project execution. The selected contractor must demonstrate strong technical expertise, a proven safety record, and the ability to deliver high-quality workmanship while coordinating closely with City staff to minimize operational impacts and adhere to established schedules across all seven sites.
