PART 1 GENERAL

1.01 Overview.

A. As part of the Watervliet Arsenal electrical infrastructure maintenance program, the below 15kV underground cables have been identified for replacement as part of a fault repair and other routine phased maintenance.

1. Loop 1 South, Parallel Feeder-CircuitA+B, 3B1 to 3B2, approx. distance 1421 LF/Phase

1.02 Scope.

A. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required for removing and replacement of Loop 3 South, 15kV cable(s) routed underground in parallel pairs per phase through duct bank(s) in the roadways between Building 135 and 35. The cables in scope are connecting substation 3B1 and 3B2 sectionalizing switches.

1.03 Existing Conditions.

A. The majority of existing cable on site is Paper Insulated Lead Covered (PILC), 1-conductor cable, 500MCM, routed through underground electrical duct banks & manholes outdoors or through electrical trenches, metal conduit or tray indoors. Existing 3-phase runs are in parallel ckts A+B.

B. Work in scope covers 13.2kV Loop #3, 3-Phase, Circuit A+B. Circuits run through 6x outdoor manholes (MH-20 to MH-60) covering an above grade distance of approximately 1421 Linear Feet, (Cable Qty = 8526LF Total = 1421LF x 3-Ph x Ckt A+B).

C. The concrete encased duct banks leading from manhole to manhole contain either 4 or 5 inch diameter conduits which may be of “Orangeburg”, rigid steel or PVC type construction. Conduits are typically enclosed within #3 & #4 rebar for duct bank reinforcement.

D. Duct banks in scope are mostly beneath roadways which are paved. Roadways consist of approximately 6 inches of asphalt over concrete. Concrete may be up to 8 inches thick (no rebar). Earth beneath concrete is likely to contain shale. Other utilities and clay drains may also be routed beneath the same roadways.

E. Manholes are typically 6-10’ deep. The manholes are frequently half-full or more with accumulated ground water, which will require de-watering each day before entering.

F. Manufacturing operations take priority. Any required utility shutdowns may need to be scheduled around operations (i.e. at night or on weekends). Contractor will need to utilize personnel qualified for “hot-work” on 13.2kV cable systems & provide all necessary safety equipment. Any required Substation outages require 60-Day prior notice to WVA tenants and should be clearly indicated in Contractor’s Master Plan. Execution plan shall be reviewed and approved with Government prior to beginning work. Any work executed prior to plan approval shall be at Contractor’s own risk & expense.

1.04 Contractor Qualifications.
