QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1: Will engineered drawings be provided indicating conduit/conductor sizing and types?

A1: No. Existing electrical diagrams have been provided, see Attachment 4.

Q2: Is the new pad at the same elevation as the existing generator building?

A2: Yes

Q3: We are assuming that there is no automatic transfer switch, is this a "Kirk Key" installation?

A3: Yes, the circuits that are on utility will have their sources transferred with kirk key.

Q4: Will concrete sawing be required?

A4: Yes

Q5: Has the Government considered installing the new generator within the building ? Easier maintenance, much cheaper than a housed unit, reuse existing storage tank etc.

A5: Consideration was made, but the Government wants to remove the noise and potential exhaust pollution from having the unit inside of the building.

The following have been modified:

SCOPE OF WORK

Scope of Work for the Orwell Dam Generator Replacement

STATEMENT OF WORK.

1. General: The scope of this project is to replace the generator located at Orwell Dam near

Fergus Falls, Minnesota, see attached map and images. The Orwell Dam has a single gate dam on the Otter Tail River. The single gate has four 25 KW air heaters to maintain operability during the winter months, through any weather event. Due to the limited electrical power available and the critical role of the gate the heaters are powered by a generator. The condition of the current generator is deteriorating and is needing replacing. The new generator needs to be located outside the existing building and needs to be remotely controlled to maintain operability and reduce safety risks. Contractor shall install a new concrete pad for placement of the new generator and it’s fuel system.

Installation shall conform to the National Electric Code (2023) and National Electric Safety Code (2023). The location of the new generator must be coordinated with Orwell Dam personnel.

2. Measurement and Payment: The payment provided for in the contract shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all materials and for performing all work under the contract in a complete and acceptable manner. The contract work shall include providing plant, equipment, tools, supplies, labor, supervision, incidental materials, quality control, environmental protection, meeting safety requirements, and for performing all work required for which separate payment is not otherwise provided. Compensation for all work shown, specified, or essential to completion of the project (whether or not the specific material or operation is indicated) shall be included in the quoted amount. The payment provided for in the contract includes compensation for all risk, loss, damage, and expense arising out of the nature of the work or its prosecution, subject to conditions of the contract. Prior to submitting a quote, the Contractor shall verify all conductor distances.

3. Site Visit: Contractors are encouraged to visit the site prior to quote. A one-time, non-mandatory site visit will be held (see FAR clause 52.236-27, Alt I for details).

4. Safety Plan: The Contractor shall submit a safety plan for performing the work. The safety plan shall be in conformance with the Safety and Health Requirements Manual, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), EM 385-1-1 (latest edition). The safety plan shall be reviewed by USACE and discussed at the initial pre-construction meeting to be held at the Orwell Dam.

5. Schedule: All work shall be completed by August 30, 2024 (or as modified) due to anticipated high water issues in the spring. In addition, operability of the single gate at Orwell Dam must not be impacted. For the purposes of this contract, the generator shall be completely functional and connected during the critical period over winter when ice is present on the lake.

6. Power Outages to the Site: To the maximum extent possible, power to the dam shall remain energized. The Contractor shall coordinate with the Orwell Dam personnel prior to power de-energizing with at least one weeks’ notice. Power outages to the site shall be kept to a minimum and not to exceed 1 calendar day, unless otherwise coordinated.

7. Minnesota One Call Excavation Notice System: The Contractor shall meet the requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 216D "One Call Excavation Notice System."

8. Work Plan: The Contractor shall submit a plan that details the sequence and scheduling of the proposed work. The work plan shall be submitted within 10 business days of contract award. The work plan shall be discussed at the initial pre-construction meeting to be held at the Orwell Dam.

9. Pavement Removal and Replacement: Where roads are cut, removed, or otherwise damaged in the prosecution of the work, the Contractor shall replace all pavements or other surfaces so removed or damaged, to their pre-construction condition, unless otherwise specified or indicated. Restoration of impacted surfaces shall be completed no later than 30-calendar days after removal or damage.

10. Shop Drawings: The work plan and safety plan shall be submitted as noted above. Both items shall be submitted prior to the pre-construction meeting. Other shop drawing submittals include the following:

a. a. Layout drawing of the site with location of generator and the routing of conductors.

b. b. Cabinet layout with transfer switch and electrical.

11. Clean Up: Contractor shall be responsible for removal and disposal of all construction debris and materials. Disposal of debris shall be off-site and meet all local and state codes.

12. Coordination: All work shall be coordinated with the project lead at Orwell Dam.

13. Initial Meeting: A pre-construction meeting shall be held at Orwell Dam before commencing work. The safety plan, work plan, schedule, and coordination issues shall be discussed. The Contractor shall submit the safety plan and work plan for review prior to the meeting.

14. Experience: Contractor shall have at least 3 years of similar work conducted within the last 10 years, be an experienced electrical contractor, and licensed by the State of Minnesota.

15. Power: Contractor is allowed to use limited electrical utility already in place (without modification to the system) during construction. Contractor to coordinate with Orwell Dam personnel prior to usage.

16. Sanitary Facilities: Contractor shall provide their own sanitary facilities during construction.

17. Reference Drawings: For existing facility electrical system, see “Orwell Dam Electrical Drawings” (attachment 4).

18. Electrical Scope:

A. Install a new generator:

1. The generator needs be capable of providing at least 125kW 120/208V 3 phase power.

a. The enclosure, generator set, exhaust system, tank, control system to be pre-assembled and pre-integrated.

b. The generator shall be placed on a new dedicated concrete pad of appropriate size and strength to support the new generator.

2. The generator needs to have an integrated enclosure that is weather protective and corrosion resistant.

3. The generator shall be capable of reliably starting in -40°F.

4. The generator needs to have a belly/base fuel tank with enough capacity to be able to be operated for 8hrs/day for 4 days before requiring refueling.

5. Install conductors (copper XHHW type), conduit (PVC coated rigid steel conduit for underground, rigid steel conduit, or liquid-tight metallic conduit), and grounding as required by the NEC.

B. Remote operating/control system for the generator

1. The remote unit/system needs to be factory installed from the generator manufacturer or an authorized dealer / installer.

2. The remote operating unit/system needs be capable of operating the generator remotely from anywhere through a connection that is cellular/mobile; available on more than one “smart cell phone”; and available for both Android and Apple devices.

3. Remote operations include, but are not limited to:

a. Starting and stopping the generator.

b. Real-time notifications/alarms for faults and interrupted operation.

i. Needs to include: Unexpected shutdowns, insufficient power being generated, and power not being transferred to the heater circuits.

c. Real-time notifications/alarms for power loss to the generator.

d. Real-time information needs to be available showing which heater circuits are energized, or the KW output of the generator.

C. Install an Automatic transfer switch and Contactors for transferring load to the generator.

1. Automatically closes switches once the generator is up to speed.

2. The generator shall provide power to “on generator only” heater and to the gate hoist system and incidental lights around the gage house.
