Appendix_X_Hanover_Substation.docx

This is an equipment list appendix for the City of Palo Alto Utilities' Electric Substation Equipment Painting project, specifically detailing the Hanover Substation equipment that requires surface preparation and painting services. The project encompasses painting services across seven electric substations within Palo Alto's distribution system, with the Hanover Substation containing six major equipment items: a transformer (KULMAN, 159"W x 161"D x 161"H), switchgear (Allis Chalmers, 400"W x 180"W x 120"H), capacitor house structure (Butler, 480"W x 144"D x 120"H), a trificator (Ohio Brass, 48"H x 12" round), and two padmount switches (Elliott). The scope of work includes cleaning, surface preparation, corrosion treatment, priming, and application of high-performance protective coatings suitable for utility-grade performance standards and Palo Alto's environmental conditions. All work must be performed safely in energized utility environments while adhering to applicable regulations and industry best practices, with proper containment and waste handling to ensure environmental compliance.

The contractor selected for this project will be responsible for coordinating closely with City staff to minimize operational impacts and maintain clear communication across all seven substation sites. CPAU seeks experienced firms with demonstrated technical expertise, proven safety records, and the ability to deliver high-quality workmanship that extends the service life of substation equipment. The project reflects the City's commitment to preserving critical infrastructure, mitigating corrosion, and supporting long-term reliability of electric assets while maintaining safe and visually well-maintained facilities for the community.
