Questions and Answer:

Question: I had one clarification item regarding the automatic transfer switches shown on the drawings of this project. On the one-line diagrams, the ATS units are shown with 3-pole breakers (example attached).

However, Detail E402 includes a typical 4-pole ATS grounding configuration.

Based on our review of the drawings, we are proceeding with the assumption that the ATS units are intended to be service entrance rated, 3-pole configuration with a solid neutral, and that the generator system is not intended to be separately derived. Under this assumption, neutral-to-ground bonding would remain at the service equipment.

If the intent is for a switched neutral (4-pole ATS) or a separately derived system configuration, please advise so the equipment configuration can be adjusted accordingly prior to submittal.

Answer: Transfer switches shown on plans are intended to be 4-pole, Mechanically held, electrically operated switches. The breakers are a service entrance rated 3-Pole breaker. ASCO Basis of design was used for the transfer switches. It is intended to have a separately derived system as indicated on drawings. Refer to specification 263600 2.02.C for switch characteristics.

Deadline for submission of proposals has been extended from February 24, 2026 at 2:00PM CST to February 27, 2026, at 2:00PM CST.
