137 Do we need a temporary generator for removal and reinstallation of UPS system?

Please bid per the RFP. See Attachment F.

138 The RFP appears to not have any requirements for communications systems.

However, inside the existing generator paralleling control and switchboard room, located under the steps there is a communications network cabinet. Please confirm that this is not needed.

Bid per the RFP.

139 Inside the existing generator paralleling control and switchboard, there is a small standalone UPS, we assume this is for the communication in the paralleling gear. Please confirm this is not required.

The equipment is supporting PLCs that currently do not work correctly and would need to be removed upon the refurbishment process.

140 2 Part 3, Chapter 6, ESR D50 & D509002

1 Attachment F RFP states to “Provide a new circuit breaker in the refurbished paralleling gear for a connection point for a portable load bank”. There is not room in the existing line-up to provide this circuit breaker. Because of this, a new section would have to be provided at 22” width. There are concerns that the new switchgear section will not fit in the existing room and space needs to be confirmed by others. Please advise on the allowable space.

The circuit breaker would not need to be draw-out for the load test if that saves room. Alternate means and methods like tapping the bus and putting the circuit breaker in the adjacent outdoor connection box would be acceptable.

141 We are requesting clarification regarding the specified 250kVA Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) at 208 Volts. After reaching out to major UPS manufacturers, we have confirmed that no standard, native 208V UPS systems are available at

480V is not available in the building. Equivalent UPS configurations will be accepted during the design based upon availability.

The Government can accept an N+1 configuration where N is 150-160 kVA output using at least 2 modules in a capacity of 225kVA to 240kVA. Contractor takes this kVA rating. At 250kVA, the industry standard offering is typically 480 Volts.

all responsibility to make all circuit connection using a minimum of 2 feeders per module + external maintenance bypass.

142 Currently there is no room for the Load bank breaker they have asked for in the existing Paralleling Switchgear. Could we use an outdoor tap box in its place? Would this need a dedicated breaker to feed it or could it be tapped on the bus?

Please see PPI Response #140.

143 The existing units have a different pitch from what the new unit will have due to the age, in order to, correct this we need to install a DPNL and associated equipment to do so we need to know the existing load between the phase to neutral. Please advise.

Bid per the RFP. The voltage is known, but the unbalanced load phase to neutral may vary. The Contractor's equipment vendor and DOR can verify additional information during the design phase.
