Statement of Work

Replacement of NMR, ATS Hollings Marine Laboratory 331 Fort Johnson Road

Charleston, SC 29412

The HML Laboratory, situated at 331 Fort Johnson Rd., Charleston, SC 29412, needs a critical replacement/upgrade of the existing Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). This ATS is of utmost importance as it provides Emergency and Shore power to the Nuclear Magnetic Resonator (NMR) and other vital laboratory equipment. The NMR’s standby emergency power system is on a single utility feed; the transfer switch senses when utility power has been lost, sending a critical start signal to the standby generator and transferring the load. To ensure the safety and reliability of the laboratory equipment and personnel, the government benefits from replacing and upgrading the ATS without delay.

Objective

The objective is to replace and upgrade the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Cummins Model OTPCF-5737468, Serial Number H050816471, Spec. A located on the 2nd floor of the NMR with an upgraded ATS that meets today’s Mission-critical, Industrial, and Enhanced Commercial reliability and performance standards. In performing this work, the Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

The replacement must be done by factory-trained, skilled, professional technicians well-versed in electrical installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair procedures. All work under this contract must be performed by a licensed contractor registered to do business in Charleston County and the State of South Carolina.

The complexity of the scientific research conducted at the HML Laboratory requires that heating, air conditioning, and chilled water systems be maintained during installation to ensure the life safety of the research staff and live specimens.

Site Visit It is highly recommended that potential contractors conduct a comprehensive site visit to assess all existing conditions that may impact the requirements outlined in this statement of work. This visit is not just a formality but a crucial step in understanding the project's scope and intricacies, which is vital for accurate quoting. The Contractor's responsibility includes confirming existing conditions and evaluating the Statement of Work requirements. Failure to determine existing conditions will not be considered a basis for granting additional compensation. To schedule a site visit, please get in touch with the below Government Technical POC:

Scope of Work (SOW) Before mobilization for demo/installation, the Contractor shall identify any special requirements or engineering and design services, independent third-party testing, and NETA testing of new ATS equipment in the building, including surge suppressors, rigging locations and access, construction fencing, parking areas for contractor vehicles and equipment, security, temporary site lighting, material storage trailers, and coordinate those with the COR so that timely and appropriate accommodations can be made.

This contract aims to demo and upgrade the existing NMR Emergency Automated Transfer Switch with a transfer switch explicitly designed for mission-critical, industrial, and enhanced commercial applications in which reliable power is paramount to the safety and vitality of our communities. The contractor shall program all settings to include times and run tests to verify the proper operation. The contractor shall plan and execute the disposal of all old ATS components. Once the demo/installation is complete, the Contractor shall be responsible for starting the ATS test for proper operation and providing the client with a complete checklist and a factory recommendation for preventative maintenance on the unit.
