STATEMENT OF WORK

Planet Ranch Conservation Area Back-up Generator Electrical Installation

1. General:

1.1 The objective of this project is to acquire contractor services to install electrical components and connect back-up generator to bunk house (Building 100) at Planet Ranch Conservation Area (PRCA), 3939 Planet Ranch Road, Parker, AZ 85344 (34°14'53.6"N 113°57'05.9"W).

1.2 Purpose/End Application: Planet Ranch Conservation Area (PRCA) is managed by the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program (LCR MSCP). The site is located in a remote area along the Bill Williams River Corridor (see Figure 1). Plans for PRCA involve rearing covered fish species in the four existing refugia ponds. When the ponds are fully operational, personnel will be required to lodge in the bunk houses more consistently to tend to the ponds.

Arizona Public Service (APS) currently provides power to the facilities at the site, but due to concerns about potential power outages, a back-up generator and propane tank have been placed near one of the bunk houses to provide power in case of outages.

3. Scope

3.1 The contractor shall complete a walk-through of the site with the COR prior to commencing work to get a thorough understanding of work to be completed.

The Contractor shall furnish and install devices D1A, E1A, and PNL-1 that are shown on the single-line diagram. The Contractor will need to transport laborers and equipment to Planet Ranch Conservation Area to carry out all operations as necessary to accomplish the work. The work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local regulations. All work shall comply with codes and standards applicable to each type of work as specified within this contract. The back-up generator system has not been connected to the house, but is currently in place for installation (see Figure 2). There is currently an existing meter panel affixed to the northeastern wall of the bunk house that will be replaced for the back-up generator system (see Figure 3). To complete the installation, a new meter-breaker combo panel, main breaker panel, automatic transfer switch, pull box, and electrical conduit must be connected. Work that has already been completed includes the placement of back-up generator, placement of the propane tank, and trenching of electrical conduit to the bunk house’s wall.
