PART 3 ITEMS OF WORK

3.01 General.

A. The Contractor shall complete the Items of Work in accordance with the Project Drawings, attached to this SOW as Appendix [C&D]. The Project Drawings and Specifications do not indicate each component, item, fastener, or similar incidental item necessary for the performance of the Work. 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.

B. Contractor shall remove cable and shovel clean manholes and ducts.

1. Identify, verify, and label each cable to be replaced under this scope of work.

2. Pull a minimum 5/16” dia. twisted polypropylene pull rope during cable removal with a minimum of 48” slack at either end.

3. Clean the ducts JUST PRIOR to pulling new cable. In past cable replacements, “OrangeBurge” has degraded after cleaning duct and prevented an otherwise serviceable conduit from use, or required extra splices. Clean by pulling in a mandrel, brush, and trailing burlap. The Project COR will verify that ducts have been sufficiently cleaned, defined by no excessive debris remaining in the ducts, prior to installation of new cable.

4. Remove abandoned PILC in manholes if necessary. Pull in minimum 5/16 ” dia. poly pull rope allowing 48” slack at each end. Tie Off ends to MH racks.

5. Inspect all cable racks in work scope. Confirm with COR cable racks that are to be re-used in each manhole. Re-install detached cable racks if still serviceable. Replace racks if nonserviceable. Racks shall be spaced approximately 3 to 4.5ft apart horizontally. There shall be at least two racks on each wall. Utilize drop-in anchor kits; 316 stainless steel, ½” -13 thread.

6. Inspect all pulling irons, bare copper neutrals, grounding terminations, and ground rods in each manhole. Clean & repair serviceable items. Replace non-serviceable items. COR shall be notified when complete & will inspect prior to pulling ‘new’ cable in each manhole.

C. Contractor shall install new cable.

1. Factory Testing: Prior to installation, Contractor shall provide COR with results of factory testing for each reel of cable in accordance with specification 26 05 13 & 26 05 19.10.

2. Lead covered cable shall not be used.

3. Cables installed underground shall be listed for use in wet locations & shall comply with NEC

310.10.C. THWN or XHHW insulation shall not be used underground.

4. Furnish and install “Okoguard-Okoseal Okonite” Type MV-105 15kV Shielded Power Cable

(see Specification 26 05 13) or pre-approved equal, using techniques as described by the manufacturer of the cable, ensuring that the maximum pulling tension and sidewall pressure is not exceeded. Install new 4/0 bare annealed, stranded, copper grounding conductor with MV cable runs and connect to existing grounding system with Cad Weld, (refer to section 3.04.E for grounding conductors in new duct bank).
