A LEASE SPECIFICATION — OVERVIEW OF REQUIREMENTS: TXFMR REMARKS

X1 ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE WIRING DIAGRAM: An electrical Schematic (a.k.a. Wiring Diagram) will be posted external to the unit along with any other identifying electrical information. This information is usually conveyed by means of a metal Electrical Data Plate firmly attached to the exterior of the enclosure.

X2 ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONNECTORS: For both the electrical input and output terminals, they can be either lug type connectors or properly oriented, vis-à-vis male vice female, cam-lock type connectors as further described.

Each connector shall be capable of carrying 440 Amps.

NOTE

Electrical cabling will be leased by another Contract. The electrical cabling not only consists of electrical cables that are readily available for lease which terminate in male and female cam-lock type connectors (CA [CAM-M/F]–4/0) as described below for background information only, but also includes (plus an additional thirty-six each times two kinds of) transition type jumper cables (CA [LUG : CAM-M]-4/0 & CA [LUG : CAM-F]-4/0) for converting cam-lock type connectors on the electrical cables to lug type connectors. Hence, the advantage of lug type connectors for both the transformers and switchboard is to avoid confusion or mismatch of male vice female for the cam-lock type connectors on the input and output sides of the appliance.

The advantage for lugs on the output side of the Master Disconnect Circuit Breaker and on the input side of the adjoining Switchboard is the ability to connect with a series of shorter (10'−15'L) more pliable 600VAC/400A jumper cables with bare metal ends. As Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), the Shipyard intends to purchase a three hundred foot long (300'L) reel of Type W Portable Power Cable for cutting and then stripping so as to provide the twenty-four (24) each jumper lengths required for connecting these adjoining two appliances.

For lugged type connectors, the electrical lugs shall be single-width allowing for the mechanical bolting or crimping of only one normal (–N) capacity 4/0 (0000) conductor for safety consideration to prevent out-of-phase connection; for compactness because of limited space; and for ease in applying insulation after making up the connection. The electrical lug shall be rated for at least 600 volts and a continuous current of 440 amperes. An acceptable lug is the Thomas & Betts 600 KCMIL (Die Code 94 Green P/N 54289).

For cam-lock type connectors and since electrical flow in cables would be from male connector to female connector, the defined input side of an appliance would have a male cam-lock connector (similar to machinery) and the defined output side of the appliance would have a female cam-lock connector. Any cam-lock type connectors on appliances shall be able to mate to the cam-lock type connectors on the electrical cables.

The locking type (a.k.a. cam-lock) connectors on the electrical cabling provided by separate Contract are manufactured to an industry standard (NEC® Code); are single pole plug (male) and mating receptacle (female);

are designed for rapid connection with no tools; and feature an insulated elastomeric material for water-tightness / safety, rated for 600VAC & 400A 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®; www.cooperinterconnect.com).

X3 ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE ENCLOSURES: The input power and its breaker(s) shall be physically isolated from the output power and its breaker(s) via either separate doors (preferred) or a barrier between isolated locations. The enclosure must be designed and constructed for the Outdoors (INDOOR design is strictly prohibited) in that it will be exposed to inclement weather and varied ambient conditions. Hence, the enclosure shall be rated to NEMA 3R or CSA EEMAC 3 ─ Weatherproof Outdoor Filtered Ventilated / Enclosed. The cable entry and exit points shall not prevent the full and complete closure of any control access doors or covers except for, of course, the cable access area covers. The enclosure shall be free-standing and not require any external means of support to prevent tipping of the unit when some or all of the cables are installed. The enclosure shall have a clean, unpainted, identifiable, and easily accessible equipment ground. The entire unit shall allow for handling by forklift thus, requiring a firmly attached single rigid metal (steel if ≥3K#) base with multiple slots for forklift handling. The total weight of the unit to include its base or frame shall be prominently displayed as well as any Handling Precautions and/or Diagram.

NOTE

Although a caged frame is not necessarily required for the Switchboard or the Main Disconnect Circuit Breaker, because of their high Center-of-Gravity (i.e. top-heavy) and its slim-tall profile (i.e. footprint vice overall height), serious consideration must be given to increasing either the footprint or the weight of the base as well as indicating its Center-of-Gravity and/or providing additional details for the Handling Precautions / Diagram.

A LEASE SPECIFICATION — OVERVIEW OF REQUIREMENTS: TXFMR REMARKS (continued)

X4 TRANSFORMER – PURPOSE & TYPE: The power Transformer shall be capable of acting in Isolation (ISO) designed and constructed to transfer electrical power (1:1 under load) from an ungrounded source of alternating current (AC) (Primary 460 VAC Delta [∆]: H1-H2-H3) to grounded mechanical machinery (Secondary 460 VAC Wye [Y]: X0-X1-X2-X3) while isolating the power source from the machinery, as the Primary windings and the Secondary windings are not mechanically connected by conductors, but only thru induction (i.e. not an auto-transformer). To minimize the potential for environmental contamination from a liquid-immersed transformer and to dismiss the danger from fire or explosion, the Power or Isolation Transformer shall be a Dry type. The Dry type transformer shall be designed, constructed, tested, and certified to a recognized National or International Standard(s) such as the National Electrical Code (NEC), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and/or Canadian Standards Association (CSA) C9 M1981 / C22.2 #47-M90.

X5 TRANSFORMER – FEATURES & RATING / CAPACITY: The Standard design features for a Dry type transformer is sufficient for the: (a) Insulation System ─ Polyester Varnish Class 220ºF; (b) Winding Temperature Rise ─ Avg.

Winding Rise 150ºF; (c) Type of Cooling ─ Class AA (Air-to-Air) also called Type ANN (Natural Convection Cooling) which is cooling via naturally circulating air; (d) Winding Material ─ Copper; and (e) Impedance Range ─ as allowed by the Electrical Standard such as CSA. Furthermore, the resistance of the Insulation System on both the Primary and Secondary legs shall be two mega-ohms or greater (≥2MΩ) when measured by a thousand volt (1KV) insulation tester (a.k.a. Megger™). The Power or Isolation Transformer shall be rated for the following electrical input and output capacities: (1) no lower than 640 KVA (800 Amps @ 450 VAC w/ 0.8PF) and no higher than 780 KVA (975 Amps @ 450 VAC w/ 0.8PF) with a preference for 660 KVA (825 Amps @ 450 VAC w/ 0.8PF); (2) Central & North American AC frequency of 60 Hertz; and (3) three phase (3Φ) Primary 460 VAC Delta [∆]: H1-H2-H3 with Secondary 460 VAC Wye [Y]: X0-X1-X2-X3.

X6 SWITCHBOARD AND MASTER DISCONNECT CIRCUIT BREAKER – PURPOSE & TYPE: A single Switchboard shall be capable of distributing three phase ungrounded power directly from a power input of multiple individual circuits each protected by a breaker at the source directly to an output of several electrical appliances, the appliances being the dry type Power or Isolation Transformers. As the one and only distribution type electrical appliance between the ungrounded power source to eventually the grounded mechanical machinery via essentially to or functionally as Isolation (ISO) Transformers, the Switchboard must provide a local means of non-fused disconnect both on the input side via an operationally main or central type circuit breaker and on the output side from the common bus via several branching type circuit breakers (e.g. SPEED-D® Switchboard). The type of Switchboard that meets all of the technical requirements is the SPEED-D® Service Section Switchboards in the family of I-LINE® Panelboards and Switchboards as part of the Square D brand as manufactured by Schneider Electric USA, Inc. (www.Schneider-Electric.com/US 847.397-2600). Blank fillers and/or extensions shall be used to fill unused circuit breaker mounting space. The Switchboard shall be designed, constructed, tested, and certified to a recognized National or International Standard(s) such as the National Electrical Code (NEC), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and/or Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

X7 SWITCHBOARD AND MASTER DISCONNECT CIRCUIT BREAKER – FEATURES & RATING / CAPACITY: The Switchboard to include the adjoining Master Disconnect Circuit Breaker shall be as described below.

INPUT: (a) from six (6) each separate sources of electrical power all derived from the same ungrounded ESM;

(b) each power source rated as follows: 460 VAC 3Φ ungrounded and 400 Amps @ 60 Hertz; hence,

(c) total power input into the Switchboard will be 2,400 Amps (460 VAC / 3Φ) or 1,920 KVA (0.8PF);

(d) power furnished by a single 4/0 (0000) cable conductor per phase or three cables per source; thus

(e) a total of eighteen (18) cables to be Government furnished (via separate Contract) and installed; &

(f) pre-wired to a single Main or Central type circuit breaker.

OUTPUT: (a) to three (3) each separate users (appliances) of electrical power all being Isolation Transformers;

(b) each power user rated as follows: 460 VAC 3Φ ungrounded and 800 Amps @ 60 Hertz; hence,

(c) total power output from the Switchboard will be 2,400 Amps (460 VAC / 3Φ) or 1,920 KVA (0.8PF);

(d) power furnished by a dual 4/0 (0000) cable conductors per phase or six cables per appliance; thus

(e) a total of eighteen (18) cables to be Government furnished (via separate Contract) and installed; &

(f) pre-wired to four each Branch type circuit breakers (CBs) in which one CB is available as a Spare.

A LEASE SPECIFICATION — OVERVIEW OF REQUIREMENTS: TXFMR NOTES (BASED ON ITEM)

ALL LIFTING & HANDLING (L&H) EXCEPTION: This type of electrical appliance is to be deployed onto the Pier and not in the Drydock. Therefore, there is a L&H Exception in that lifting padeye(s) are not required for overhead crane lift. Although a caged frame is not required, the appliance must feature a foundation base with multiple slotted pockets (i.e. box beams) for forklift handling.

ALL 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 ITEMIZED AND ANCILLARY (W/ APPLIANCE) EQUIPMENT: The Contractor shall uniquely tag and permanently mark all of its ancillary and itemized equipment / hardware (e.g. manifolds, hose assemblies, pipe fittings, duct adapters, ducting, cabling, etc.) so as to differentiate from that owned by either the Shipyard or other Vendors. Tagging alone is often insufficient. Suggest painting the ferrous metal on hardware and the end fittings on hose assemblies with unique and distinct color(s) associated to that Vendor.

ALL APPLIANCE / EQUIPMENT MARKING & TAGGING: The Electrical Input & Output (EI & EO) on all appliances as well as other utility line(s) must be clearly marked unless self-evident. Appliances and any itemized equipment require tagging to show Project Boat No / Technical Specification Identification (ID) No (i.e. SSN ### / X##).

ALL COMMERCIAL SHIPPING OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES: Although electrical appliances may be housed inside protective enclosures that are designed and constructed for installation Outdoors (e.g. NEC® rated to NEMA 3R), they must be fully and entirely enclosed during transit. Wind-driven plus speed-driven rain at an exposed trailer height is not the same as just wind-driven rain at ground level and in a somewhat protected location.

There have been many examples of NEMA 3R Enclosed electrical appliances not functioning properly from soaking up a tremendous amount of moisture because of a failure to heed this shipping precaution. Also, because the electrical appliances must have a metal base to allow for handling by forklift and may also come palletized from a shipper or manufacturer, the total height for a high-profile Switchboard and, similarly, for the Main Disconnect Circuit Breaker may come close to or exceed the 105 inches (8'-9") allowed by the Door Opening Height for an enclosed tractor-trailer. Additional vertical space must be allowed for a forklift driver to safely enter and then position the load inside an enclosed tractor-trailer. Beware that electrical appliances must be shipped in the same orientation as its installation – i.e. Do not place the appliance on its side because of a restricted shipping height. These considerations may result in a partial or entire shipment to be securely wrapped and fully-enclosed within a tarp or several tarps on a flatbed tractor-trailer.

NBPL 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 the Enclave (Pier 5002) which is within the Base. The best method to gain access to the Base is via a Rapid Gate badge (info:

877.727-4342). A Project Sponsor would be required if the truck driver or repair technician does not have a Rapid Gate badge. The Sponsor will need to request a Vetting Form from Richard D. Ramirez (619.553-9136).

After the Sponsor has submitted the completed Vetting Form to RD Ramirez or other staff, 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) have Rapid Gate badge(s), the Sponsor can submit an Enclave Access Request Form to RD Ramirez so that the badge(s) will 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 Rapid Gate badged drivers to the point of transferring locally (at San Diego) either the driver, the tractor-trailer, or the load for the final destination delivery of machinery / 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 NBPL: (see NOTE) is from 5:30 am to 5:00 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: The machinery 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 machinery 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 machinery from Vendor’s transport during work hours (NBPL: 6A to 3:30P). Documentation [B/L] shall accompany each delivery.

Machines shall be functionally tested to include performance of the 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 machinery, 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 eighteen (18) 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 the Contracting Officer, Supervisory Contract Administrator, and/or applicable Contract Specialist. The PNS Administrator Point-of-Contact / COR, if above $150K; and the Project's Operation (PEPM) / Execution (TSZM) POCs; 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.

Machines 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, machines 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 machine 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.
