The Contractor shall provide, furnish, and install all necessary and appropriate component, item, fastener, or similar incidental items as necessary and required to provide a complete cable and terminal replacement in the indicated areas. The following Items of Work further clarify and constrain the project execution. Option 1 items are applicable to replacement of unserviceable conduit runs.

3.02 Cable Replacement

A. Contractor shall secure / cordon off work areas, prepare manholes, and identify cables.

1. Pump any ground water that has accumulated within manholes before accessing and working within each manhole. It is assumed and expected that each manhole will have some accumulation of ground water. Manholes shall remain dry during work within them.

2. Suspected hazardous substances must be contained & may not be pumped into local storm drains. COR shall be immediately notified if any sheen or visible oils are discovered in manholes in order to make an assessment prior to continuing work.

3. Government personnel will perform switching operations to ensure that power is taken out of each working manhole. This includes de-energizing and energizing. The Contractor shall not perform switching operations.

4. Identify, verify, and label each cable to be replaced under this scope of work prior to commencing pulling or removing of any cable.

5. Confirm electrical phasing at Substations 1B1, 1B2, 1B3, 1B4, 1B5 & 1A5, and notify the Project COR that phasing is as expected, or that discrepancies have been found. The use of a 15KV phase meter to check energized lines is required.

6. Inspect duct banks and conduits intended for cable replacement. Identify conduit runs which are still serviceable versus those needing replacement to the COR. The COR shall make final determination on which conduits and/or duct banks shall be replaced. Refer to sections 3.03 &

3.04 for requirements covering duct bank replacement. See attached drawings (SK-1, SK-2, SK-3) for reference. Once non-disclosure agreement is in place, manhole photos can also be provided for review.
