49. SOW/Technical Specification/Drawings paragraph/page EC Drawings General Note 1

This note indicates contractor shall procure MV cable in standard spool lengths. Remaining cable is to be turned over to the Base Maintenance Contractor. Spool lengths are customized to fit the need of each cable run. In addition, each cable manufacture could have different minimum/maximum spool lengths. What is the intent of this note? Does the Government have a minimum length of cable they would like for us to turn over?

Answer: We have had issues in the past with MV concentric neutral cable usually comes in 10,000 LF reels. The purpose of this note is if contractor has to purchase more cable then required for project then access will be turned over the Government. If contractor can purchase just enough cable for the project this would be optimal.
