B. Existing emergency generator located in Building 22 provides circuit for Panel OSD4-P1 that services Building 21 emergency loads. New service from Building 153 has emergency generator tie in so this circuit will no longer be required as long as generators in Building 153 will be on line within 10 seconds to meet NFPA 101 requirements.

C. Installation of two new four-way, 5 inch cell concrete encased ductbanks from existing manholes MH- A6 and MH-B6 to new Manholes MH-A12 and MH-B12 and onto new Manholes MH-A13 and MH-B13.

Place one of the new Manholes MH-A13 or MH-B13 directly over the existing City of Ames 13.8kV service. From MH-A13 and MH-B13 provide a single one way 4 inch cell concrete encased from each manhole to existing service conduits stubbed out from Building 21. If contractor can use existing conduit that the City of Ames has currently provided their service into Building 21 with and it is continuous into the new manhole this is allowed.

D. Provide three, 1/C 500kcmil, 15kV cables from Bus A and Bus B line connections at existing exterior 15kV switchgear line compartment to Building 21 double ended substation per drawings. Existing switchgear shop drawings provided indicated line side lugs are available for above conductors. There are also spare cells in the existing ductbank sections from Manhole MH-A6 and MH-B6 to the existing exterior switchgear.

E. Coordinate with City of Ames to take a minimal outage to connect new service to double ended substation. Disconnect existing City of Ames 13.8kV feeder and connect new 13.2kV service from Building 153. Reset transformer taps of double ended substation transformers for new 13.2kV service and remove 15kV cable jumper between medium voltage switches at Unit Substation USS1 in Building 21.

F. Remove existing 13.8kV service from the City of Ames and open the conduit in new manhole that was placed over the existing City of Ames conduit.

G. Install the second 13.2kV feeder from Building 153 via exterior 15kV switchgear to Building 21 double ended substation medium voltage switch in the raceway of the removed City of Ames feeder.

H. Connect the site Power Monitoring & Control System (PMCS) communication connections from the existing digital power metering at the double ended substation in the Building 21 penthouse to the existing data switch located in the communication room on the ground floor of Building 21. Provide required conduits and Category 6 cabling and required interfaces, (modbus or ethernet as required) from the double ended substation, remote 4 or 8 port switch at double ended substation, and ethernet Category 6 cable in 1 inch conduit to existing conduit sleeves through floor as shown on drawings to existing switch in rack in communication room.

I. Provide the programming, integration, and control functions for the PMCS. Programming should also include the development of a Building 21 main plant graphics screen for monitoring and control at the main site PMCS in Building 153.

J. Remove existing conductors from Generator in Building 22 to ATS #1 located in Building 21.

K. Remove the automatic transfer switch ATS#1 and route the 1,600 Amp service in new raceway system including new conduits and existing where possible for a direct connection point for through service to Panel OSD4-P1.
