MCI9 site?

Answer 8: If the street is cut or damaged it would have to be repaired to the condition it was in or better than before the cut. Following is our guidelines for utility cut repairs

Provide 12” of Stabilized Subbase compacted to 95% Modified Proctor Density, Min LBR 40

Provide 9” Limerock Base compacted to 95% Modified Proctor Density, Min LBR 100. New limerock area is to overlap undisturbed subbase by at least 6”.

Provide 2” asphalt concrete pavement Type SP-12.5 (in lieu of information below.)New asphalt pavement is to overlap existing base by at least 12”.

Width of patch should be approximately 5’ wide, however less or more than 5’ may be required depending on width of undisturbed subbase and base.

Question 9: Are new elbow arrestors required on transformers?

Answer 9: Yes new MCOV 8.4 kV Duty Cycle voltage rating 10 kV arrestors

Question 10: What is the minimum generator size needed for each site?

Answer 10: Facility 80505: will need a generator to be on standby 150kw

Answer 14: YXI3 will be given back to the electrical shop. Government will transport.

Contractor will need to set it on the trailer for transport.

Question 15: How deep is concrete slab, and how deep does conduit need to be set into concrete slab at XYI1/XYI3 transformer site?

Answer 15: From field investigation pictures the slab looks at least 12 inches. The conduits should be deep enough in the slab to provide a cover of 2 inches.

Question 16: What sites require escorts?

Answer 16: Facility 80505 MSA 2, Facility 67210 and Facility 1641.

Question 17: Will contractor be responsible for disposing XYI1? If so, are there PCBs?
