Metro Traction Power Substation Emergency Trip Stations (TPSS ETS) Installation at Various Locations_T-1564-0150_100126.pdf

This is a Scope of Work document for the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) Baltimore Metro detailing the design and installation of external Emergency Trip Stations (ETS) at fifteen (15) Traction Power Substations (TPSS) located throughout the Metro system. The project encompasses the complete design, procurement, installation, testing, and commissioning of ETS equipment at various Metro facilities. Each Emergency Trip Station will include push-button activated disconnect switches capable of de-energizing third rail power in emergency situations, with installations required to meet specific electrical codes, safety standards, and MTA specifications. The scope requires detailed design documentation, site-specific installation plans, coordination with Metro operations, and comprehensive testing protocols to ensure all systems function correctly before final acceptance.

The contractor must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary for successful project completion at all fifteen designated locations. Work includes site surveys and assessments, design development, equipment procurement, installation, integrated system testing, documentation, and training of MTA personnel on ETS operation and maintenance. The contractor is responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable codes and regulations, obtaining necessary permits, coordinating with MTA operations to minimize disruption to transit service, and maintaining a safe work environment throughout the project duration. Final project completion requires MTA approval of all installations, successful operational testing, and delivery of as-built documentation and operation manuals for each Emergency Trip Station location.
