Table E:

TELEC Equipment (Cables & Appliances) Basis

TELEC Design [ Criteria ]:

[1] The standard size electrical cable assemblies readily available for lease: (a) are generally, fifty-foot in length (50'L); (b) have male and female cam-lock (cam-M/F) connectors (Cam-Lok®: E1016 "J" Series); and (c) are primarily either 2/0 (00) cable or 4/0 (0000) cable.

[2] The cable is rated for a continuous amperage capacity (ampacity at 30ºC or 86ºF ambient) of either 300 amperes for single conductor 2/0 cable or 405 amperes for single conductor 4/0 cable. The commercial industry uses multiple cables for temporary installations when the ampacity requirements is greater than what can be carried by a single cable. Ground cables need carry only half the continuous power.

[3] Temporary Services [Electric] Shop (x99E) prefers electrical cable assemblies to be single-conductor for safety considerations to prevent out-of-phase connection and likewise, that electrical lugs are single-width because of limited space.

[4] Besides (electrical) Disconnect Switches (DS) as part of this lease, rental assumes deploying three (3) Government owned Val-Tech (V-T) newer 600 Amp Portable Power Distribution Centers (PPDCs) to satisfy Industrial power needs only positioned (per the Project Temporary Services Electrical Power Distribution Plan) as follows: [a] DRYDOCK Fwd V-T[f], [b] DRYDOCK Aft V-T[a], and [c] PIER V-T[p].

[5] NLON: The analyzed "Industrial" electrical power need equivalent is either for fourteen (14) 400-440A circuits when deploying two each Large capacity compressors (LPAC–L×2) or for sixteen (16) 400-440A circuits when deploying three units. Most industrial power will come from an "Adjunct" MUSE 2500 KVA Substation Model MT-2500-ON-S providing ten (10) circuits each adjustable up to 800A. With 800A circuits being available, the MUSE Substation can power up to two Large capacity compressors. Thus, only one Large capacity Disconnect Switch (Item E: DS [800A]–1ckt) may be required to power a third compressor to be connected independently of the MUSE Substation.

[6] Estimated cabling is 220 each 50-footers (250 ft/Φ-cable[run] × 14 ckt × 3 Φ/ckt ÷ 50 ft/cable[ea] + 10 spares) based on 250-foot run per circuit. Estimated cabling connectors is 45 each (14 ckt × 3 Φ/ckt + 3 spares + 00 swbd-itus @ NLON) for circuits and appliances.

A lease specification — Overview of Requirements (TELEC Remarks as enumerated)

E1 Electrical Cable: Electrical cables will be supplied as single conductor in only two sizes as either a large (–L) capacity 4/0 (0000) cable rated to 405 amps (~49#/50'L) or a normal capacity (–N) 2/0 (00) cable rated to 300 amps (≈34#/50'L). Electrical cables shall be constructed of fully annealed stranded bare copper for the conductor. The cable insulation shall be a premium-grade Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (M-class) synthetic rubber (EPDM) rated to +90ºC dry / +75ºC wet for the conductor temperature. The cable reinforcement, for mechanical strength, shall be an open polyester braid between the insulation and the jacket. The cable jacket shall be a black vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) extruded to gain the advantages that typifies both rubbery and plastic materials for a material temperature range of –40ºC to +90ºC. The jacket shall be designed for exterior-use (water & sunlight resistant so as to withstand exposure to severe environmental conditions) with a voltage rating of at least 600 volts (Type RHH/RHW) and so indicated. Cable assemblies shall be a single electrical conductor (e.g. Super Vu-Tron® Single Conductor Type RHH/RHW 600 Volt Potable Power Cable as manufactured by General Cable; www.generalcable.com) in fifty-foot lengths (50'L) terminating in male (M) & female (F) locking connectors.

E2 Locking Connector: Locking type electrical connectors shall be an industry standard to NEC® Code single pole plug (male) and mating receptacle (female) designed for instant (dis)connection without tools with an insulated elastomeric material for water-tightness / safety, rated for 600 volt & 400 amp service, and vulcanized to meet NEMA 4 requirements (e.g. field-attachable vulcanized Cam-Lok® E1016 "J" Series Plugs UL® listed & CSA® certified as manufactured by Cooper Interconnect®; http://www.cooperinterconnect.com).

E3 Electrical Lug: Electrical lugs shall be single-width allowing for the mechanical bolting or crimping of only one either large (–L) capacity 4/0 (0000) or normal capacity (–N) 2/0 (00) conductor for reasons of compactness and of ease in applying electrical insulation after making up the electrical connection. The electrical lug shall be rated for at least 600 volts and a continuous current of 440 amperes.

E4 (Electrical) Disconnect Switch: The (electrical) Disconnect Switch (DS) is a complete packaged Industrial Electric Appliance (IEP) that is more than a mere electric switch. The unit shall be UL® listed / classified as a Potable Power Distribution Panel (PPDP) ruggedly constructed to a minimum of NEMA 3R. Power breakers (output) shall be isolated from input power via either separate doors or a different location. The unit shall be adaptable to a variety of hardwire and/or camlock style inputs/outputs, the primary style being camlocks.

a. For the normal capacity Disconnect Switch (DS [200A]–2ckt), the unit must split by phase 460 volt nominal (460V), single 400 or 440 ampere (dependent on the amperage of the circuit selected), three phase (3Φ) service / circuit as input so as to provide dual switchable 200 or 220 ampere services as its output. An equivalent PPDP is the 400A Horizontal I-line panel as described & pictured below and as manufactured by Trystar (Attn: Jake Salzl 507.331-4471 / www.trystar.com).

For the large capacity Disconnect Switch (DS [800A]–1ckt), the unit must phase synchronize 460 volt nominal (460V), dual 400 or 440 ampere (dependent on the amperage of the circuits selected), three phase (3Φ) services / circuits as input so as to provide a single switchable 800 ampere service (i.e. circuit) as its output, but, preset to 700A. An equivalent PPDP is the 800/1200A Convertible I-line panel as manufactured by Trystar (www.trystar.com).

A lease specification — Overview of Requirements (TELEC Notes as ITEMized) b&c Purpose: Use for converting 460V / 400-440A / 3Φ power from a Viking type to a cam-lock type connection.

d Purpose: Use for grounding all electrically powered three phase machinery at either its case, cage, or frame.

e Appliance Quality Checklist: A Quality Checklist unique for each appliance type shall be developed, abided to in every operational check, and copies shall accompany the appliance and sent to the Technical Liaison.

all Vendor Identification (ID) of Cables & Appliances: The Contractor shall uniquely and permanently mark all of its cables and appliances so as to differentiate from that owned by either the Shipyard or other Vendors. Tagging alone is often insufficient. Suggest painting any ferrous type metal on hardware or applying tape onto non-metallic surfaces, or application of some other means with unique and distinct color(s) associated to that Vendor.

All Marking and Tagging of Each Cable & Every Appliance: Clearly mark unless self-evident the Electrical Input(s) and the Electrical Output(s) (ELEC-Is & ELEC-Os) on the Appliances. Although itemized by LOT (LT), each Cable as well as every Appliance requires tagging to show Project Boat No / Technical Specification Identification (ID) No (i.e. SSN ### / E##).

NLON

Commercial Delivery Access: There are two independently secure areas that commercial vehicles must gain access in order to effectuate delivery. The first is the main Base and the second is an Enclave inside the Base (Pier 15 @ NLON or Pier 5002 @ NBPL). The best method to gain access to the Base is via a RAPIDGate® badging program (info: 877.727-4342). A Project Sponsor would be required if the truck driver or repair technician does not have a RAPIDGate® badge. The Sponsor will need to request a Vetting Form from the Physical Security Specialist (NLON: Robert S. Suplido, 860.694-1790). After the Sponsor has submitted the completed Vetting Form, it will take seven to ten days for the Vetting process to be completed. After the Vetting process has been completed, a one day Temporary Pass to gain access to the main Base will be available at Bldg 174. Further access into the Enclave will require continuous escort. However, if the individual(s) has RAPIDGate® badge(s), the Sponsor can submit an Enclave Access Request Form to the Physical Security Specialist so that badge(s) can be encoded. This would allow vehicle access into the Enclave without an escort. Considering the aforementioned difficulty in gaining Base / Enclave access, it is highly encouraged that the Contractor utilizes transport Vendor(s) with RAPIDGate® badged drivers to the point of transferring locally either the driver or the trailer load for the final destination delivery of the machinery and/or equipment transported cross-county. Also, because of the Contractual Repair Requirements which would not allow for an extended Vetting process (see paragraph B5.), the Contractor must have, for each machine under lease, qualified service and repair technicians with Rapid Gate badges.

B LEASE specification — Contractual Requirements 1.

Access: To be allowed onto a government Shipyard, personnel must be US citizens and in possession of appropriate personal identification. Proof of US citizenship may be necessary and can be required for access to the drydock environs. Allowable documentation of US citizenship is an official government issued Certificate of Birth or Naturalization (w/ raised seal & not a photocopy) or a US passport (can be expired). Vehicular access requires a non-expired personal Driver’s License and appropriate vehicle identification or registration. The transport vehicle must have the company’s name / logo prominently displayed. Normal commercial delivery access to NLON: (see NOTE) is from 5:30 am to 1:30 pm Monday thru Friday (excludes Federal Holidays). To gain access to the drydock environs, personnel must be escorted and possess / wear their own personal safety gear which includes: safety glasses w/ side protection, hard hat, safety shoes with an ANSI approved reinforced toe box, and, as posted, adequate hearing protection (i.e. ≥20 dB[A] reduction from ear plugs and/or ear muffs).

2.

Delivery: Appliance(s) shall be in a fully-charged, fully-assembled, ready-to-use, and in a first-class-operating condition. Disposable type filters shall be replaced with new (virgin) and permanent (metal) filters shall be clean prior to delivery. The appliance with its support equipment shall be delivered to the site on or prior to the request date. It is incumbent and the responsibility of the Contractor to either confirm or coordinate the date and time of delivery prior to each shipment via the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and/or Point-of-Contact (POC) as designated on the Contract. The Government can provide forklift services for removing equipment from Vendor’s transport during work hours (NLON: 6A to 3:30P). Documentation [B/L] shall accompany each delivery.

Appliances shall be functionally tested to include performance of a Quality Checklist prior to its delivery.

3.

Literature: Although the Bidder shall make known any variances to the Technical Specifications, synopsized literature describing the proposed appliance, i.e. Equipment Data Sheet (EDS), shall be submitted with the bid to Contracting for potential review by the Technical Liaison as to whether the proposal conforms to the requirement.

4.

Proposal: As a standard format for comparing potential Vendors, the Contractor shall quote the weekly lease rate for each Item type and capacity based on a minimum lease duration of twelve (12) consecutive weeks or as scheduled in the RFP, whichever is less, with the option to extend thereafter. Daily extensions for each Item with its associated ancillary hardware shall be billed at no greater than one-seventh of the stated recurring weekly lease rate. The Contractor’s proposal shall provide credit for any down time beyond forty-eight (48) hours (two days). The cost of shipping (round trip), hook-up, start-up, initial operation, and training shall be included as part of the lease. If an unforeseen circumstance that is not the fault of the Contractor results in the rental period for a particular Item being less than the aforementioned minimum / scheduled lease duration, then the obligation by the Government shall be either for its minimum / scheduled lease duration or the lease rate for the actual rental period plus due consideration for the transport company's actual shipping fees. Price comparison is based on the Government's approximation as to the expected lease duration to include anticipated EXTENSIONS (EXT).

5.

Repair: The Contractor shall formally (written, E-mail is sufficient) inform: (a) the Contracting Officer, Supervisory Contract Specialist, and/or applicable Contract Specialist (PNS Code 410: 207.438– x3853 / x5253 / x6819); (b) the PNS Administrator Point-of-Contact / COR, if above $150K off-site (PNS Code 245.1V: 207.451-3195); and (c) the Project's Operation (PEPM) / Execution (TSZM) POCs (PNS Code 361: 207.451-7193 / 207.475-4757) as well as display on each machine the name and telephone number for requesting repair. The equipment will be operating around-the-clock under a rigorous off-site deployment performance schedule. Within twelve (12) hours (half-day) of initial notification of the need for repair, the Contractor shall have a knowledgeable and equipped technician on the job-site fully prepared to repair the rental equipment. The defective unit(s) shall be repaired within twenty-four (24) hours (one day) of initial notification or, if the original defective unit(s) cannot be made operational, replaced within forty-eight (48) hours (two days) of initial notification. If the equipment failure is not the fault of the Government, the Contractor shall bear all costs associated with its repair and/or replacement.

6.

Return: The Government will dismantle the equipment and provide a temporary storage location convenient for Contractor pick-up. The Government will notify the Contractor as well as the Contracting Office as to when the rental Item has been released and is available for pick-up. The last day of the rental period shall be the next normal workday after the Contractor has been so notified. The Contractor shall be responsible for shipping. The Government can provide forklift services during work hours for placing the equipment onto the vendor’s transport.

7.

Service: Except for daily surveillance checks i.e. liquid levels, the Contractor is responsible for and shall perform all maintenance (e.g. refrigerant charge, oil changes, replace / clean filters, lubrication, coolant refills, liquid top-offs, etc.) for the duration of the lease. Coordinate maintenance w/ Executing POC particularly shut-downs.

8.

Start-Up: If requested by the Project, the Vendor shall: (i) start and run the equipment to verify its operability; (ii) confirm that a set of operating instructions was previously delivered; and/or (iii) instruct designated Shipyard personnel on how to properly run the equipment to include its operation, control, daily checks, & service contacts. For multiple sets of comparable equipment with essentially similar operation, the orientation given to a specific Project on a particular type and/or capacity of machine can be accomplished just once regardless of delivery.

C LEASE specification — Generic Machinery Requirements (applies to Electrical Appliances) 1.

Construction: Except as noted for a particular machine type, units shall be a single integrated framed structure manufactured as a complete entity to include all devices, accessories, and fittings necessary to perform the function for which it was designed. Each unit shall be capable of continuous, year-round, outdoor, unmanned operation even at minimal loading while exposed from inclement (NBPL) to extremely harsh (PNSY & NLON) weather (e.g. deep snow, strong & gusty winds, and/or heavy rain) and varied ambient conditions (–10 to +110ºF & 0 to 100% RH). Machines shall meet State and federal requirements for its type such as the National Electrical Code (NEC) for electrical devices / components and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for pressurized vessels / components. For emission producing machinery as required by the State, the Contractor shall obtain permits for the duration of the lease and affix them onto the units. Machines shall be modular in design so as to act as a stand-alone unit; compact so as to fit in the tight confines of a drydock; portable so as to be transported by forklift and then lifted by crane; and ruggedly constructed so as to endure a marine industrial environment. Multiple machines of the same type and capacity shall be of similar design and construction.

Appliances shall be newly manufactured / completely refurbished and factory tested within ten (10) years.

2.

Documentation: Documentation will be located within a water proof case affixed to each machine. Minimally, the documentation shall consist of: (i) Technical Instructions (TIs) such as an Operations & Maintenance Manual, Controls Manual, and/or Electrical Manual with Schematics; (ii) instructions and a diagram on Lifting & Handling the equipment with its padeye(s) Certification; (iii) government Contract Number to include the cover sheet to the rental Contract; (iv) an Equipment Data Sheet (EDS), preferably on a single sheet of paper (can be double-sided), of the quintessential aspects of the rental machine to include a fan curve for machines with built-in air-handlers; (v) simple Operating Instructions, if not in the TIs; (vi) points of contact with telephone numbers for requesting emergency repair regardless of the time or type of day; and (vii) a copy of the Quality Checklist.

3.

Electrical: Electrical components shall conform to a NEMA standard (NEMA 3 or 4) that allows for unsheltered outdoor use of the unit. Each machine shall require only one type / source of electrical power of either 115 VAC +5% / single-phase / 60 hertz or 460 VAC +5% / three-phase / 60 hertz. The type of electrical power required (voltage & amperage) must be clearly indicated on the outside of the equipment, readily detected, and collocated with all other electrical information. If not included in the synopsized EDS, the Vendor shall provide the Project Technical Liaison with the following details: (i) electrical power type (amperage & voltage); (ii) type of electrical connectors (for 3 Φ, specify whether or not equivalent to Duraline E1016); (iii) breaker type/size or recommended capacity for the electrical source; and (iv) whether the machine is furnished with over-current protection. Three phase powered (i.e. 460V) machines shall have panel-mounted male cam-lock connectors equivalent to a single Duraline E1016 for each phase if ≤285A (preferred, permits 2/0 cable) or ≤385A (minimum, but restricted to 4/0 cable) or below and equivalent multiple connectors for greater amperages.

4.

Lifting & Handling: Unless exempted in advance, appliance shall be firmly attached to a single rigid metal (steel if ≥3K#) caged frame (base boxed w/ four vertical corner posts and four horizontal perimeter beams at top) with both multiple slots for forklift handling and, preferably, welded lifting padeye(s), which would result in and permit for safe single point lift operation using an overhead crane without special lifting or handling gear. To minimize a rigging delay or postponement, lifting points other than the preferred welded lifting padeye(s) (e.g. holes drilled thru structural members or bolted padeyes / eyelets) will require an advance design review - consultation - analysis by the Shipyard's Rigging Engineer (Code 713). The design safety factor for each lifting padeye or point shall be at least five (5) times the load based on ultimate strength. For equipment with two (2) or three (3) padeyes / points evenly spaced, the machine’s weight can be considered equally distributed. For equipment with four (4) padeyes / points, the loading shall be as if each lift point would support half of the machine’s weight. The strongest preference is for multiple padeyes to be aligned in the plane of the lift (i.e. padeyes point towards the center) and to be located above the machine’s Center of Gravity (CG). If the lift points are located below the CG, then the machine’s CG shall be accurately indicated as to both its elevation and position. The Contractor shall provide certification that each lift point meets the criteria described above by design (5 to 1 ultimate strength & 3 to 1 minimum yield) or by load test (2 to 1 w/ no yield). Such certification to include the Lifting Schematic along with any other lifting data shall be included with the documentation attached to the machine.

NOTE:

The precise weight of each appliance to include its caged frame shall be prominently displayed.

5.

Noise: When operating at full speed, noise levels must not be over 105 dB[A] (assumes hearing protection of 20 dB[A]) and preferably, 85 dB[A] or less (threshold for hearing protection) at six feet from the unit or frame unless a quieter noise level is specified. A hearing protection safety placard shall be posted on each machine generating more than 85 dB[A] at the unit's edge or frame. For equating noise ratings of a particular unit, noise intensity (energy) is cut in half, i.e. reduced by 3 dB[A], as the distance is doubled. Hence, a noise rating of 88 dB[A] at 3 feet and conversely, a noise rating of 82 dB[A] at 12 feet is equivalent to a noise intensity of 85 dB[A] at 6 feet.

6.

Prohibition: For a nuclear shipyard with radiological controls, the colors yellow or magenta on either machinery or associated equipment are strictly prohibited unless approval is requested w/ pictures showing the colors prior to bid submission so that the particular machine / equipment color would be known for an RC List of Exceptions.
