P-683 Engine Repair Facility - Contract Specification Summary

This document contains two federal construction specification sections for the P-683 Engine Repair Facility project (Contract 1817922). Section 10 22 19 addresses demountable and movable partitions, while Section 33 71 02 covers underground electrical distribution. These specifications establish detailed requirements for materials, installation, testing, and quality assurance for a military facility renovation or construction project.

Section 10 22 19 specifies demountable partition systems including wall panels constructed from Class A formaldehyde-free wood composite with factory-applied painted finishes, framing of extruded aluminum components, and 12MM laminated glass glazing compliant with ANSI Z97.1 and ASTM C1048. The system must achieve minimum Sound Transmission Coefficient ratings of 50 for solid panels and 36 for glass panels (per ASTM E90/E413), Class A Flame Spread Rating under 25 (ASTM E84), and support 5 psf transverse loads with specified deflection limits (ASTM E72). Products must meet UL 2818 Greenguard Gold or SCS Indoor Advantage Gold certification for indoor air quality. Partition manufacturers require minimum 10 years documented experience; installers require 5 years. The partition system warranty extends 10 years for the system structure and 3 years for fabric coverings. Electrical components including switches, outlets, and voice/data cabling must be factory-installed, UL-listed, and meet NFPA 70 requirements.

Section 33 71 02 establishes requirements for underground electrical distribution including medium-voltage cables rated 25 kV with 133 percent insulation level per NEMA WC 74/ICEA S-93-639, copper concentric-lay-stranded conductors, EPR insulation, and comprehensive shielding with copper tape. Medium-voltage cable terminations must comply with IEEE 48 Class 1 specifications using pre-manufactured kits (cold-shrink or heat-shrinkable elastomer types). Low-voltage conductors must be THWN/THHN type rated 600 volts per UL 83/UL 44. Conduit systems include rigid metal conduit (UL 6), PVC conduit (UL 651/NEMA TC 2), and HDPE conduit for directional boring (ASTM F2160/NEMA TC 7). Underground structures must conform to ASTM C857 and ASTM C478 for precast concrete manholes and handholes. Cable splicers/terminators must hold National Cable Splicing Certification Board (NCSCB) certification for shielded medium-voltage splicing. Field acceptance testing requires visual/mechanical inspection and electrical tests per NETA ATS, including very low frequency (VLF) withstand tests at specified voltages (10 kV for 5 kV cable acceptance; 31 kV for 25 kV cable acceptance). Grounding systems must achieve resistance to solid earth ground not exceeding 25 ohms, with cone-pointed driven ground rods per UL 467. The specification emphasizes strict adherence to manufacturer instructions, comprehensive documentation of cable pulling procedures, and protection of electrical terminations to prevent ingress of rodents, insects, and foreign matter.
