About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details a UPS assessment and deficiencies repair project at B505, Zone 2, Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. The project involves replacing four UPS systems (UPS1, UPS2, UPS3, and UPS6) that are at the end of their life cycle, including associated electrical equipment. Key requirements include supplying and installing new UPS systems with double conversion technology, replacing transformers, batteries, distribution boards, and associated electrical infrastructure, and upgrading electrical components to improve power supply reliability for critical loads.
The project has a 190-calendar day period of performance, with specific requirements for replacing UPS systems ranging from 40 kVA to 200 kVA. The contractor must provide new UPS units with built-in bypass switches, replace existing transformers, install new batteries, upgrade electrical panels with individual circuit breakers (RCBOs), and ensure comprehensive labeling and testing. The work must comply with multiple international standards, including U.S. and Kuwaiti regulations, and requires detailed documentation, safety protocols, and environmental compliance throughout the installation process.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
In reference to project AJ24-0468, a UPS assessment had been conducted and found out that four numbers of UPS system including each associated electrical equipment are on their End-of-life cycle.
Replacing those UPS system will solve some technical issues to power supply of critical loads connected to each UPS. Batteries are not giving the full backing time as per the requirement that may put the critical loads at risk. Apart from that, all the DB’s connected to each UPS are not suitable for critical loads, replacing those DB’s with individual RCBO’s per circuit will solve the issue of tripping the whole panel if one circuit has fault.
