This power shall be for ship’s use only; Contractor is responsible for furnishing separate power for Contractor activities. Shorepower substations shall be enclosed in a vault or designed to be weather-proof. Substation shall have a primary isolation switch. Substation secondary shall be a three phase ungrounded system and shall have 400 amp circuit breakers for each shore power connection. Line to line voltage at the ship’s service switchboard shall be maintained at 480V +/- 5%, 60 Hz +/- 3%. Line voltage imbalance shall not exceed 2%.

7.1.1.2 One (1) 400 amp shore power cable with NATO (Joy type) plug is required to be furnished by the contractor, to connect the pierside substation secondary to the ship’s shore power connection. Electric cables utilized shall be in good material condition, free of tears, cracks or poorly repaired insulation. Cables shall be sized such that the voltage drop between the substation secondary and the ship’s shore power connection does not exceed 4% at full load. All three phases shall be carried in each cable. All conductors of each cable shall be of equal cross-sectional area. Cable lengths shall be of equal length +/- 10% of the average length. Cables shall be routed such that there is sufficient slack to allow for natural movement of the ship with tide and weather, but length shall not be excessive such that the cables be allowed to fall into the water or become trapped between the ship’s hull and the pier. Cables shall avoid sharp edges and tight bends, and proper strain relief shall be provided for vertical runs.

Cables shall be protected from pedestrian and vehicular traffic. In line connectors and splices shall be properly insulated, sealed and elevated such that they will not be exposed to standing water.

The meter shall be installed in the immediate vicinity of the ship’s shore potable water receiving station(s) and shall be readily accessible to the COR and the vessel’s Chief Engineer. An initial meter reading shall be witnessed by the COR and the Chief Engineer. Meter readings shall be recorded and presented to the COR on a weekly basis. At the end of the availability, the final meter reading shall be recorded and witnessed by the COR and the Chief Engineer. A report shall be prepared and submitted with total calculated potable water consumption. The Government will only pay for actual potable water consumed. The contractor shall provide a bid price based on an estimated potable water consumption of 1,500 gallons per day. In addition, contractor shall bid a unit price per gallon for adjustments to the award price for lesser or greater total consumption. Any required adjustments shall be made via a contract modification.
