The Contractor shall perform its contract services in accordance with state utility regulatory commission and industry standards and regulations, as applicable. � C.11.2.1 Renewals and Replacements

Renewals and replacements are the continuing maintenance, repairs, and upgrades that will permit the long-term safe and reliable operation of the utility system—once it has been brought up to standards by the initial capital upgrades—allowing the system to comply with all requirements and standards imposed by federal, state, and local law, as well as the standards typically applied by the Contractor to its other utility systems. Renewals and replacements identified in the Capital Upgrades and Renewals and Replacements Plan will be paid under Sub-CLIN AB. Renewals and replacements shall be addressed in the Capital Upgrades and Renewals and Replacement Plan at a level of detail necessary to verify appropriate usage of payments made by the Government.

C.11.2.2. Initial Capital Upgrades

Initial capital upgrades consist of those repair, replacement, and improvement activities of the Contractor required to ensure the utility system, upon expiration of the initial capital upgrade period, will comply with all requirements and standards imposed by law as well as the standards typically applied by the Contractor to its other utility systems so that subsequent renewals and replacements will permit the long-term safe and reliable operation of the utility system. All initial capital upgrades shall be performed within the first five (5) years of this contract. All initial capital upgrades shall be listed in the first submittal of the Capital Upgrades and Renewals and Replacements Plan and will be described, for all five years, in the same detail required for the first year’s upgrade list in Paragraph C.11.2. Under no circumstances will the Government pay for capital upgrades that are not demonstrated to provide a useful and necessary benefit to the Government or derived from a change in legally applicable regulatory requirements or standards.

C.11.2.3 Future Capital Upgrades

The Contractor, through the Capital Upgrades and Renewals and Replacements Plan process, can propose capital upgrades to expand the system or to comply with requirements and standards imposed by law that have changed subsequent to the initial capital upgrade period. Capital upgrades may also include the implementation of new technologies not applied generally throughout the Contractor’s other utility systems. The Government reserves the right to determine at its discretion whether it will pay for any portion of proposed future capital upgrades, other than those required to comply with utility operating standards or requirements and standards imposed by law that have changed during the contract term.

C.11.2.4 Requirements and Standards

The Capital Upgrades and Renewals and Replacements Plan shall include an assessment of any new or revised standards that will require system upgrades or modification or affect system operation. The Capital Upgrades and Renewals and Replacements Plan shall clearly address planned system improvements or operational changes needed to comply with any revised standards.

C.11.2.5 Connections and Disconnections

The Capital Upgrades and Renewals and Replacements Plan shall include a list of anticipated new service connections, including a preliminary design and estimated construction costs. The Government will provide a list of new service requirements and anticipated disconnections.

a 115 kV ring bus with SF6 circuit breakers. The 115 kV ring bus feeds two 115 - 13.8 kV transformers that power F.E Warren AFB. The 115 – 13.8 kV transformers feed 13.8 kV metalclad switchgear. The metalclad switchgear includes two main circuit breakers, a tie circuit breaker, and two feeder circuit breakers to the base distribution system.

The electrical distribution system consists of three-phase, three-wire line rated at 15 kV. The distribution system includes both overhead and underground distribution circuits. The system also includes three-phase transformers ranging from 45 to 1,500 kilovolt amperes (kVA), single-phase transformers ranging from 10 to 100 kVA, utility poles, switches (2-, 3-, and 4-way), utility vaults, and streetlight fixtures. Approximately 10 percent of the electrical distribution system is located in the Military Family Housing areas.

In the event of a problem with one of the substation transformers, the entire Base distribution system can be fed by the remaining transformer. WAPA would accomplish this by closing the manual tie breaker between the two sections of 13.8 kV bus in the substation switchgear.

The two feeders from the substation supply Switch Station 1400, which has main-tie-main switches and five fused switches. The five switches supply distribution circuits of which two are express feeders to Switch Station 295. Switch Station 295 has main-tie-main switches and five fused switches. Four switches supply distribution circuits, one switch is a spare. The positioning of switches throughout the distribution system in most cases provides backup from one circuit to another. Mission-critical facilities, such as the Weapons Storage Area (WSA), have diesel generators for backup power to critical loads in addition to feeds from other circuits.

Section 2 MASTER TASK LIST �

OFFEROR NOTES:�

1. This template identifies all potential tasks affected by Utility Privatization (UP). It shall be the responsibility of the government user to modify this template as needed to reflect only those requirements affected locally by utility privatization. This document corresponds to the CFETP. Please note: The format of this template is merely a suggestion made by the Air Force Civil Engineer Career Field Manager and may be altered by the government user to suit the individual training needs of the unit.�

2. It is not the government user’s intent that an individual course be developed for each listed task. Conversely, it is strongly suggested that the offeror logically group similar-type tasks into a series of course instructional blocks. A typical course instructional block example can be found in Exhibit A.�

3. A variety of references may be used to develop course instructional block curriculum (to include identified Air Force standards and reference material). Regardless of the choice, any curriculum developed shall reflect only those approved standards/techniques used throughout the electrical industry. Questions relating to the description of a particular task requirement (to include queries on proposed training standards, methods, and instructional block composition) shall be forwarded to the contracting officer for consultation and clarification.�
