G. Brief Description of SEPTA's Traction Electrification System:

1. SEPTA operates a comprehensive transportation system in the Philadelphia metropolitan area and suburbs. The CTD network of subway, light rail and electric trolleybus routes is an important part of SEPTA's service in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The network includes the Broad Street Subway (BSS), the Market Frankford Subway elevated (MFSE), five (5) Subway Surface Trolley Lines, the Route 15 Historic Trolley (Girard Avenue and Richmond Streets), and the Routes 59, 66 and 75 Trackless Trolleys (electric trolleybuses).

2. Each TPSS has a unique electrical and physical layout.

3. The three (3) subway TPSSs to be rehabilitated as part of this Contract predominately provide power to the Broad Street Subway (BSS) and are located along this line at or near Mount Vernon Street, Loudon Street, and Cumberland Street. The BSS is third rail powered and was commissioned in 1928. The other TPSS to be rehabilitated as part of this Contract provides power to the Route 59 Trackless Trolley. The present Trackless Trolley routes were originally streetcar lines that were converted to electric trolleybus operation during the 1960's. The nominal system voltage of the CTD network is 700 V DC. The TPSS components vary in vintage from 1928 to present day technology. A Wayside Energy Storage System (WESS) allows for vehicle regenerative voltages up to

800 V DC.

4. Rehabilitation requires removal and replacement of essentially all existing equipment in a manner staged to prevent total outage, except at Castor TPSS. The Contractor shall field verify quantities of existing equipment to be removed. Remove abandoned equipment in quantities as field verified by the Contractor. Reflect the intent of having a full replacement of traction power equipment in the Contractor’s prepared final design for each site. Provide (furnish and install) quantities of equipment necessary for maintaining the current full operational functionality of the traction power system.
