1.0 CONTRACT PROJECT:

1.1 Title: PPQ MAB Building 6414 Electrical Upgrades

1.2 Location: U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Plant Protection Quarantine (PPQ), Science and Technology (S&T), Insect Management and Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory (IMMDL).

Moore Air Base

Building 6414

22675 N. Moorefield Rd.

Edinburg, TX 78541

1.3 Project Background: Building 6414 is used for research development, specimen preservation, and testing. The building contains an outdoor electrical main distribution switchboard enclosure/cabinet dating back over 30+ years that has reached its useful life. The switchgear enclosure is severely dilapidated with corrosion, rust and subjected to water leaks entering the enclosure during rainy days along the top, back and sides. Coffman Engineers was tasked to design a replacement of the outdoor switchboard enclosure at a new location. The design is currently at the 80% completion stage with Phase 1, Issued For Bid (IFB) documents provided for this solicitation.

1.4 Project Scope: USDA needs Construction Services, identified as Phase I, per the Issued for Bid (IFB) Design Documents prepared by Coffman Engineers to furnish and install a new exterior 2000A Main Switchboard. New switchboard shall be 2000A with a 1800A main breaker. A new 1500kva transformer will be identified for furnishing and installation as an add-alternate for this project. Add alternate shall be broken out to reflect equipment cost and labor associated with installation in the event the new transformer is Government furnished. New transformer pad and transformer shall be installed at stub-up location of spare 4” conduits in the front grass which are identified on the construction drawings. Once the power transfer takes place for new switchgear and new transformer, the existing cabinet, switches, transformer, wiring and components shall be removed and disposed of by the contractor.

A new breaker shall also be furnished and installed in the new switchgear cabinet for the existing 800KW Caterpillar generator along with furnishing and installing a new automatic transfer switch per the drawings. Contractor shall make all connections.

Work that is unclear in the SOW shall be brought to the attention of the CO, EPM and FM prior to incurring costs. All work under this project shall comply with all applicable codes, State and Local codes and standards and environmental regulations in the State of Texas and local ordinances.
