ELECTRICAL

The contractor shall design, install, and test a lighting system for the COMMUNITY CENTER sunshade. For electrical design purposes, the new sunshade shall be considered an attached structure. The contractor shall provide illumination plan and calculations that meet UFC3-530-001 standards.

POWER: The source of power for the sunshade lighting and outlets shall be the sunshade sub distribution panel (SDP) fed from the existing main distribution panel (MDP) located at the south east corner of the existing concrete pad. Survey the existing panel for total loads, branch circuits, and circuit breaker type to produce the power supply single line drawing of the extension system.

SOLAR PANELS: The newly installed solar panels shall also help power the sunshade lights and outlets as well as transfer excess power produced back to the grid. Exterior, weather rated solar panels shall be mounted to the roof of the sunshade and cover at least 80% of the available roof space. Power captured from the solar panels shall be ran through an on/off DC safety switch, solar inverter, then an electricity meter and finally to the sunshade SDP.

CIRCUITS: Lighting and outlet circuits shall originate at the sunshade SDP. The power shall be brought to the sunshade SDP via EMT and multicore conductors routed from the exterior MDP to the sunshade SDP. Comply with referenced electrical codes for EMT mounting, junction boxes, splicing, and terminating.

Photoelectric cell control circuits of the lights shall be incorporated into the design so that the lights automatically turn off during daylight conditions and will be turned on with exterior rated lighted switches located under the sunshade and easily accessible. All wiring and conduit shall be new.

DOWN FLOOD LIGHTS: Provide and install exterior rated, high quality, LED flood lights to the underside of the sunshade. The new sunshade shall have flood lights evenly distributed that are directed down. The down flood lights shall be capable of providing, not less than, 15 FC on the ground. Do not over illuminate. The lights shall be warm white, 3000K, in Kelvin color temperature. The Contractor shall submit factory data sheets and installation instructions on the LED flood lights.

TERMINATION OF LIGHTS AND OUTLETS: All sunshade flood lights and outlets shall be terminated in the sunshade MDP. All lights shall be tested for operation and witnessed by the

CM.

WORKMANSHIP: The entire electrical installation will be inspected by the CM, electrical engineer, and/or electrician for quality of installation, completeness, and code compliance. Any defects found will be corrected at the Contractor’s expense and with no contract extension deadlines.

GROUNDING AND LIGHTNING PROTECTION

GROUNDING: The contractor shall provide a grounding design and install a grounding system for the sunshade.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION: A lightning risk assessment shall be performed, and systems shall be provided for the building if required.

UTILITY INFRASTUCTURE: WATER

The contractor shall reroute existing waterlines to a more conducive utility corridor to ensure the sunshade or concrete pad are not placed over any water lines. This should include approximately sixty linear meters of trenching.

INDUSTRIAL MISTING SYSTEM: The contractor shall provide an industrial misting system that provides an adequate, cooling mist throughout the entire covered sunshade area.

To do this the contractor must run a water service line from the rerouted water main to the sunshade. The service line shall exit the ground directly adjacent to the concrete pad and a vertical steel column. The water pipe should then be fastened to the vertical column with a spigot option installed 50 cm above the level of the concrete. The water pipe shall continue up the vertical column to service the industrial misting system. The industrial misting system shall be made of metal pipe with high quality nozzles designed to work well in the dusty, desert environment. The industrial misting system shall be suspended from the underside of the sunshade and broke into two zones. A north zone and a south zone that can be isolated from each other to help with future maintenance efforts.

8.12 SITE RESTORATION / SITE CLEAN-UP

The Contractor shall at all times maintain good housekeeping practices to reduce the risk of fire damage. All scrap materials, rubbish, and trash shall be removed daily from, in, and about the site. No debris shall be permitted to be scattered on adjacent property.

The Contractor will also be responsible for any repair required to restore site to the preconstruction condition due to damages caused by the construction related operations.

Final Cleanup and removal of equipment from the site shall be completed by the contract completion date and prior to final acceptance.

8.13 DEMOBILIZATION

The Contractor shall demobilize the staging area and stockpile area. All locations shall be demobilized of materials, equipment and debris. All materials, safety devices, stockpiles and debris shall be demobilized from the site.

8.14 INSPECTIONS

The Contractor shall be responsible for notifying the CO when work is ready to be inspected at least two (2) working days in advance of each inspection required in this specification and its technical sections.

The CO or CM may inspect any work at any time. Inspections by the Government do not in any way absolve the Contractor from his obligation to provide materials and construction free from defects and in accordance with the required specifications.
