About this file

This is a specification document for the Fort Randall Remote IO and Annunciation Panel Supply contract (FTRREMOIO), detailing electrical materials, methods, wiring, and process control systems required for two pre-built remote input/output and annunciation panels to be installed on 19-inch racks.

The specification covers three main sections: basic electrical materials and methods, insulated wire and cable, and process control systems. For electrical materials, the contractor must provide rigid metal conduit, liquid-tight flexible metal conduit, non-metallic wiring duct, terminal blocks, circuit breakers, control relays, indicating lamps, and enclosures compliant with NEMA and UL standards. Wire and cable must meet NEMA and ASTM standards with specific voltage ratings (minimum 600V), conductor materials (annealed copper or tinned copper), insulation types (XLPE, EPR, or equivalent), and color-coding standards. For the process control system, the contractor must supply Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) equipment including a modular PLC chassis (SEL Axion 10 slot), CPU module, communications modules with EtherNet/IP protocol over fiber-optic and copper media, power supply modules, input/output modules for analog and binary signals, and touchscreen HMI systems (17-inch minimum resolution). The contractor must also provide PLC software with operating system, application programs, alarm processing, control sequences, monitoring and control software with graphical user interface, and comprehensive spare parts including control relays, circuit breakers, terminal blocks, and patch cables. Factory testing must be completed and approved before shipment, with test procedures, setup, and reports submitted within specified timeframes. Contractor design drawings, as-built drawings, and operation and maintenance manuals must be provided in both hardcopy and electronic formats. All work is to be performed at the contractor's facility, with Government personnel responsible for software programming and field testing.
