About this file

This is a Project Manual containing specifications for an electrical disconnect and life safety rehabilitation project at the Salmon River Seed Orchard located at 11905 US-95 in Lucile, Idaho, under the jurisdiction of the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests. The project involves transitioning overhead power to underground service at the meter and includes comprehensive electrical system upgrades.

The specifications detail work across multiple divisions including administrative requirements, temporary facilities and controls, demolition, rough carpentry, and extensive electrical work. Key electrical requirements include installation of rigid metal conduit (RMC) and PVC conduit, proper grounding and bonding systems with ground resistance testing (maximum 5 ohms), service equipment modifications, panelboards with directory labeling, circuit breakers, enclosed switches rated for 400+ amps at 600 volts, and support structures using pressure-treated posts and galvanized steel channel. The project requires coordination with Idaho County Light and Power (208-983-1610), third-party electrical inspections, all work performed by Idaho-licensed electricians, and submission of detailed shop drawings, wiring diagrams, as-built documentation, and operation and maintenance manuals. Testing and commissioning activities include load balancing demonstrations, system startup verification, and staff training. The contractor bears responsibility for trenching, utility coordination via 811 Call-Before-You-Dig, damage repair to existing buried utilities, proper trench bedding and compaction, and site restoration including seeding. Environmental protections address spill prevention, hazardous material handling, waste removal, and compliance with OSHA, NEC, and Forest Service regulations.
