The new support structure shall consist of two 4" rigid steel conduits spaced as required, two unistrut member lengths as required, and one 3/4"-thick UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) sheet sized as required to support the new combination KW-HR and KW-Demand meter.

Each conduit (referenced above) shall extend six feet above finished grade and four feet below finished grade. And each conduit shall be encased in concrete for its entire length below finished grade—the diameter of the poured concrete around each conduit shall be 10”.

(2) Provide new wiring and conduit (schedule 80 PVC, sized as required for the new wiring) routed 36” below the finished grade between the new meter and the existing transformer secondary compartment as required to provide a fully functional meter.

The input feeds to the new manual transfer switch shall be as follows: (1) the commercial power input feed shall consist of two new sets of 4 #350 MCM THWN copper conductors in 3” galvanized rigid steel conduits originating from the new 600A feeder breaker in the new 1,200A panelboard, (2) for the emergency power input feed, reuse the existing outdoor rated cabling currently connected between the existing generator and the existing 600A disconnect (which is to be removed by this contract).

Regarding the existing generator cables, provide one new 4” rigid steel conduit nipple (6” length) on the bottom side of the new 600A manual transfer switch for the existing generator cables (four) to pass through.

Provide two new sets of 4 #350 MCM THWN copper conductors in 3” galvanized rigid steel conduits between the output side of the new 600A manual transfer switch and the existing 600A panelboard.

(7) The new 1,200A panelboard, new 600A manual transfer switch, existing 600A panelboard, and an existing 6” x 6” x 24” wireway are to be mounted on a new outdoor support structure. The existing 600A disconnect switch is to be removed, which is currently on the existing outdoor support structure that is to be removed by this contract and replaced with the new 600A manual transfer switch. Also, remove the existing wiring and conduit between the existing 600A disconnect being remove and the existing 600A panelboard.

Provide a new 600A-3 pole feeder breaker in the new 1,200A and route two sets of four 350 MCM THWN copper conductors in 3” rigid steel conduit from the new 600A-3 pole feeder breaker to the input side of the new 600A manual transfer switch.

(8) The new support structure shall consist of three 4" rigid steel conduits spaced as required, eight eight-feet length unistrut members, and two new 3/4"-thick UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) sheets (3/4” x 96” x 96”) to support the new and existing panelboards, new manual transfer switch, and existing wireway referenced above (two new 4’ x 8’ sheets of 3/4"-thick UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) on each side of the three new 4" rigid steel conduits).

Each new conduit (referenced above) shall extend six feet above finished grade and four feet below finished grade. And each new conduit shall be encased in concrete for its entire length below finished grade—the diameter of the poured concrete around each new conduit shall be 10”.

(9) Regarding the existing 600A panelboard, existing 600A disconnect, and the existing 6” x 6” x 24” wireway—they are to be supported as required while removing the entire existing outdoor support structure that they are currently fastened to and installing the new outdoor support structure referenced above.

The existing outdoor support structure that the above referenced existing items are fastened to consists of the following: two 4” x 4” x 10’ wood poles (assume four feet of each pole is below finished grade) and two 4’ x 8’ sheets of plywood (one existing 4’ x 8’ sheet of plywood on each side of the two existing 4x4 wood poles).
