This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Work Ticket 12895002 issued by Peterson Space Force Base (PSFB) in Colorado, dated October 19, 2026. The project involves establishing redundant electrical power infrastructure to support a communications terminal (SMART-T) in Building 1471 by bridging power from a generator supply to Panel RP15 in Building 1470. The contractor must run approximately 100 feet of dedicated electrical feeds from the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) in Building 1470, Room 126 to Electrical Panel RP15 in the Building 1470 hallway, delivering two 20-Amp circuits and one 30-Amp circuit. All work must comply with OSHA, UFC 3-520-01, National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70 and 70E standards, and the Peterson SFB Design Guide.

The estimated performance time is 105 calendar days, comprising 60 days for site survey, planning, coordination, and procurement, and 30 days for labor. The contractor must employ a State of Colorado licensed Master Electrician to oversee electrical work and an on-site lead technician with a valid Colorado Journeyman Electrician license and minimum five years of documented commercial electrical power systems experience. Working hours are 0700–1700 Monday through Friday; work beyond these hours requires Contracting Officer approval. The contractor must conduct comprehensive electrical commissioning tests and a utility power outage simulation to verify automatic transfer to generator power, with final cutover completed within a single four-hour outage window if possible. Key deliverables include complete wiring and schematic diagrams and a warranty letter covering 12 months of labor and materials. Hot work requires minimum seven days advance coordination with the Fire Department Prevention Office and mandatory training for operations exceeding one day. All work must be coordinated through Customer Service for utility outages (14 days advance notice), and contractors must obtain PSFB Visitor Request authorization 15 business days prior to starting work. The primary point of contact is Timothy Ahlers at 719-554-6721 or Timothy.Ahlers@spaceforce.mil.

WT 12895002 Bridge Redundant Power from Generator Supply to SMART-T in Building 1471

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. The Contractor shall establish a redundant power infrastructure to support a communications terminal. Primary power will be delivered from the currently installed generator in Building 1471, with secondary redundant power sourced from the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) located in Building 1470, Room 126.

To support this terminal, the contractor must run dedicated electrical feeds approximately 100 feet from the PDU in Room 126 to Electrical Panel RP15 located in building 1470 hallway. The installation must deliver the following dedicated circuits to the terminal's breakers: Two (2) x 20-Amp (A) circuits and One (1) x 30-Amp (A) circuit.

1.2. The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, and resources necessary to complete the installation of power run from Building 1470 Room 126 to Electrical Panel RP15 and existing red PDU at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). All work must comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-520-01-Interior Electrical Systems, National Electrical Code (NEC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70 and 70E, Peterson SFB Design Guide and manufacturer standards.

2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

2.1. The Contractor is responsible to verify site conditions, measurements, quantities, and materials needed to complete this project prior to submitting a proposal.

2.2. Estimated Performance Time: 105 calendar days. This includes 60 days for site survey, planning, coordination, and procurement, and 30 days for labor.

2.3. All work accomplished by the Contractor shall comply with the contract criteria unless a waiver is obtained from the Air Force when conditions warrant such consideration. All construction work shall be subject to stoppages and delays due to critical PSFB mission requirements.

2.4. The Contractor shall, within five days after the Notice to Proceed (NTP) (or timeframe determined by the Contracting Officer), submit a practicable electronic work schedule for approval. This schedule should detail the order of work, anticipated start and completion dates for key tasks, and be presented as a progress chart.

3. PROJECT SCOPE

3.1. The PDU’s Automatic transfer switch currently supports all the requirements of the current connections. It will, however, need to be verified for capacity to support the additional (2) 20A and (1) 30A requirements. Due to the nature of the mission supported by the terminal, the outage time for the final connection of the communication terminal to the new redundant circuit must be as short as possible. If possible, the final cutover must be completed within a single, scheduled outage window not to exceed four (4) hours.

3.2. The contractor shall label all new conduits, junction boxes, and breaker panel circuits according to ANSI/TIA-606-C standards or, if no standard is specified, with professional, machine-printed labels detailing the power source and circuit ID.

3.3. Any potential outages to building power or other circuits must be scheduled with at least 14 days of notice and adhere to a predetermined timeframe.

Additionally, any outages of the communication terminal power must be scheduled with at least 7 business days of notice and adhere to a predetermined timeframe.

3.4. A final test must be conducted to ensure proper operation of communication terminal during simulated outage. This may require coordination with 21 CES personnel to schedule a time for the generator to turn on and run for the required amount of time to test. The final acceptance test shall consist of a simulated utility power outage. The system must demonstrate a successful, automatic transfer to generator power. The total power interruption to the communication terminal equipment shall not exceed the time specified by the equipment manufacturer's power-holdup specifications to ensure continuous operation.

3.5. Upon completion of the work, the communications terminal will have a power branch circuit installation connecting it to the Red PDU and Automatic Transfer Switch in Room 126.

3.6. The Contractor shall conduct a comprehensive electrical commissioning test on the newly installed branch circuits and feeders to verify proper connectivity and seamless failover between the communication terminal and the auxiliary generator.

3.7. To achieve final testing approval, the Contractor shall coordinate and execute a utility power outage simulation. During this test, primary commercial utility power to the facility shall be disconnected to initiate automatic generator startup and load transfer. The test shall successfully demonstrate that the generator assumes the electrical load and delivers stable, continuous power to the communication terminal without interruption or degradation of service.

4. UTILITY OUTAGES

4.1. Any required outages (i.e., electrical, HVAC, utilities, fire alarm, fire suppression, etc.) shall be formally requested through Customer Service at 719-556-4330. Fire alarm outages should be requested 3 days ahead, while all other outages shall be requested 14 days in advance.

5. HOT WORK PERMIT

Hot work shall be coordinated a minimum of 7 days in advance from the Fire Department Prevention Office with contact at 719-556-6574. The contractor shall complete a one-time hot work training class at the Fire Department for any hot work operations exceeding one day in duration. To schedule this mandatory training, the contractor shall contact the Fire Department at 556- 7774 or at 554-1291. Furthermore, the contractor shall not commence any hot work until a site inspection has been completed by the Fire Prevention office and the contractor possesses a signed copy of the inspection authorization on hand.
