Performance Work Statement Central Power Generation System for

Zone 6, Camp Arifjan, Kuwait October 10, 2015

1.0 Summary

1.1 Zone 6 at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait is currently powered by a leased central diesel power generation plant.

The plant is composed of diesel generator sets, modular 415V:11kV transformers, a modular fuel tank/pumping system, control room, 11kV distribution switchgear, Petroleum Oil Lubricants (POL) storage area, parts storage area, and support structures. The power is generated at 415 V 50 Hz, transformed to 11kV, and routed underground to the 11kV distribution switchgear. Ten underground, three phase radial feeders from the 11kV distribution switchgear then distribute power to remote 11kV: 415V power transformers located throughout Zone 6.

1.2 The contractor shall design, furnish, install, commission, operate, and maintain a consolidated diesel power generation plant at Zone 6, Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. The plant shall be complete, self-contained, and shall generate power at 11kV, 3 phase, 50Hz. The Contractor shall connect the 11kV output of the plant to the ten existing underground 11kV radial feeders. The Contractor shall propose to build a new plant which must be installed in the area immediately next to the current plant. The current plant will remain operational during the transition.

Note: The following information is identified for consistency when developing any contracts with the slightest potential for environmental implications and should be included in all contracts:

TERMINOLOGY and DEFINITIONS:

1. Hazardous Material: Any material that is capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, or environment if improperly handled, stored, issued, transported, labeled, or disposed because it displays a characteristic listed in Table C5.T1., “typical Hazardous Materials (Reference OEBGD, Paragraph C5.2.2).

2. Hazardous Waste: A discarded material that may be solid, semi-solid, liquid, or contained gas and either exhibit a characteristic of a hazardous waste defined in section AP1.1. or listed as hazardous waste in Table AP1.T1. - AP1.T4. Excluded from these definitions are domestic sewage sludge, household wastes and medical wastes. (Reference OEBGD, Paragraph C6.2.5).

3. Solid Waste: Garbage, refuse, sludge and other discarded materials, including solid, semi-solid, liquid, and contained gaseous materials resulting from industrial and commercial operations and from community activities. It does not include solids or dissolved material in domestic sewage or other significant pollutants in water resources, such as silt, dissolved or suspended solids in industrial wastewater effluent, dissolved materials in irrigation return flows or other common water pollutants. (Reference OEBGD, Paragraph C7.2.30).

4. Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants (POL’s): Includes all types of fuels (MOGAS, JP8, and Diesel), hydraulic fluid, lubricating grease, and engine and gear oil.

5. Leaks, Spills and Releases: This implies a loss of product or waste (hazardous material or waste, wastewater sewage, food waste) as a result of an accidental or intentional event from normal equipment operation, procedure, transport vehicle or container. Examples of spills, leaks or releases from sources include but are not limited to:

• Tanks, Drums, Barrels, Cans, Containers and Pods;

• Fuel lines, filters and pumps;

• Vehicle or equipment engines, transmissions, oil reservoirs and fuel tanks;

• Transport vehicles (hauling Refuse, Fuel, Construction Debris, Wastewater, etc.);

• Wastes from Dining Facilities (DFAC_s) and disposal dumpsters (food, cooking oils, greases)

• Parts Cleaning Machines (Solvents)

• Refrigerant Equipment, Lines, Compressors, Pumps and other components

• Corrosive materials and acids (batteries, special cleaning compounds)

• Infectious medical wastes, microbiology, pathology, sharps

6. POL Clean-Up Materials: Absorbent material used to clean-up or soak up free liquids such as hazardous materials as associated with fuels, oils, lubricants and paints. Material is available in the form of absorbent pads, booms, pillows, socks, dry sweep compounds or peat.

7. Construction Debris: The waste which is generated from building materials, packaging and rubble resulting from construction, remodeling, renovation, repair and demolition operations on buildings, pavements, infrastructure and utilities or other structures.

8. Secondary Containment Structures/Devices: Secondary containment pertains to a structure or device which provides a second line of defense in preventing a vehicle, tank, drum, barrel, can, equipment, dumpster etc.

from leaking the liquid contents for which it is storing or uses as part of its operation. The holding capacity (volume) of the device must be equal to 110% of the volume of the largest component in the structure being protected. Examples of common structures or devices may consist of the following (but not limited to):

• Wooden fabricated boxes (floor w/ sidewalls) lined with fuel resistant membrane, seamless to prevent leaks and hold a liquid product.

• Expedient fuel bladder membrane placed under the equipment with a perimeter ring of sandbags placed long the outer edge of the structure and underneath the membrane elevated to form an outer perimeter containment wall.

• Pre-fabricated membrane containment (factory made) material containing a seamless floor with supported perimeter sidewalls. (Drive Off/Drive On -, Commonly used for trucks and portable generators).

• Concrete pad with curbing and storm water drain pipe with control valve, plug or cap.

• Metal pre-fabricated drip pan, sized to be placed under the piece of equipment or tank with perimeter side walls OR sized to accommodate placement of the equipment (tank, generator, dumpster etc.) inside the containment structure.

• Self-Containment built into the equipment (i.e. electric generator) that is capable of containing the fuels and lubrication oils used by the equipment being protected.

9. Equipment: Any permanently installed or mobile fueling system, generator, light set, compressor system, track or wheeled vehicle, or construction equipment that contains fuels and/or oils in any amount.
