DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
This statement of work describes contractor requirements for the project titled “Replace Transformer P167”. All work will occur at the Fresno Air National Guard Station, Fresno, California. The contractor is responsible to furnish and install all labor and materials to complete the items listed in this Statement of Work. The contractor shall provide the government a complete and usable product that will be inspected/accepted by the government at the completion of the project. All information included in this document, along with the instructions and standards referenced in the document, shall be considered as part of the Statement of Work.
SITE OF WORK
All work will occur at:
Fresno Air National Guard Station 5323 McKinley Ave, Fresno, CA. 93727
STATEMENT OF WORK
1. Objectives: The purpose of this project is to remove and replace a three phase 150KVA mineral oil electrical transformer. The transformer is located adjacent to Bld 167 known as the Hush House. Listed voltage of the transformer is 12470V step down to 208Y/120V. The transformer concrete pad is in a lower elevation than the surrounding ground and accumulates rainfall runoff which has corroded the transformer base. This project is also to regrade the immediate area around the transformer so the existing pad is at a higher elevation so that a NEW transformer can be placed on. The end result should be a complete and usable commissioned electrical transformer performing as efficient or better than the replaced one. The NEW transformer will be sitting on a PCC pad elevated at a minimum of 2% (1/50) grade going away from the pad.
2. Items of Work include, but are not limited to:
2.1. Remove existing Transformer
2.2. Regrade surrounding soil
2.3. Install NEW transformer
2.4. Test and commission

SECTION 26 12 19.00 40
PAD-MOUNTED, LIQUID-FILLED, MEDIUM-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS
11/14 NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for three-phase pad-mounted transformers of the dead-front and live-front types for exterior applications.
Use pad-mounted transformers (properly protected with bayonet type, oil-immersed, expulsion fuses in series with oil-immersed, partial-range, current-limiting fuses) for kVA ratings up to and including 750 kVA on 5 kV systems and for kVA ratings up to and including 1500 kVA on 15 and 25 kV systems.
For voltages above 25 kV and in ratings above those previously indicated, this specification requires significant modifications and additional specification sections may need to be added on the project.
The use of pad-mounted transformers with secondary currents exceeding 2000 amperes is discouraged due to the size and quantity of secondary conductors.
Therefore, transformers above 750 kVA serving 208Y/120 volt loads and transformers above 1500 kVA serving 480Y/277 volt loads should be in a secondary unit substation configuration.
Contact the cognizant EFD or PWC for direction.
For SOUTHNAVFACENGCOM projects, determine the use of secondary unit substations on a case by case basis.
Use the following related guide specifications for power distribution equipment:

Coordinate meter to system requirements.
NOTE: The following guidelines for specifying current transformers are based on the standard current transformer primary rating which is just below the full load current of the power transformer.
1. Select the appropriate current transformer (CT) ratio, continuous-thermal-current rating factor (RF) at 30 degrees C and ANSI Metering Accuracy Class values based on transformer kVA size and secondary voltage. Example: for a 500 kVA transformer at 208 volts - select 1200/5, 1.5, 0.3 - B-0.5.

2. Incorporate the appropriate values in table below.
2.1.1.6 Transformer
NOTE: Use the following guidelines for specifying transformers.
1. Previously the use of mineral oil filled transformers were recommended wherever possible.
The recent availability of biodegradable less-flammable transformer liquids may have altered that recommendation. For NAVFAC Atlantic , choose less-flammable transformer liquids as specified below for all projects unless there is a specific requirement to do otherwise. Where adequate distance from structures cannot be attained, consult NAVFAC design manuals and UFC 3-600-01, "Design:
Fire Protection Engineering For Facilities." Do not use Silicon-filled and R-temp filled transformers for less-flammable requirements.
SECTION 26 12 19.00 40 Page 22
2. Use IEEE C57.12.00, Table 11(b), voltage designations, such as "4160 V - 480Y / 277 V".
3. Select impedance value in accordance with technical note under paragraph SPECIFIED TRANSFORMER
LOSSES.
4. Delete inapplicable sound levels.
5. Delete last sentence if transformer secondary winding is delta type.
a. [Oil-insulated][Less-flammable liquid-insulated], two winding, 60 hertz, 65 degrees C rise above a 30 degrees C average ambient, self-cooled type.
b. Transformer is rated [_____] kVA, [95][60][_____] kV BIL.
c. Transformer voltage ratings: [_____] V - [_____] V.[ For GrdY - GrdY transformers, provide transformer with five-legged core design for third harmonic suppression.]
d. Ensure tap changer is an externally operated, manual type for changing tap setting when the transformer is de-energized. Provide four 2.5 percent full capacity taps, two above and two below rated primary voltage. Ensure tap changers clearly indicate which tap setting is in use.
e. Minimum tested impedance cannot be less than [_____] percent at 85 degrees C on Three-Phase transformers [and [_____] at 85 degrees C on Single-Phase transformers].
f. Ensure audible sound levels comply with the following:
kVA DECIBELS (MAX) 75 51
112.5 55 150 55 225 55 300 55 500 56 750 57 1000 58 1500 60
g. Include lifting lugs for the transformer and provisions for jacking under base. Ensure the transformer base construction is suitable for using rollers or skidding in any direction. Provide transformer top with an access handhole.[ Conspicuously display its kVA rating on its enclosure.] Ensure the transformer has an insulated low-voltage neutral bushing with NEMA spade terminal, and with removable ground strap.
[2.1.1.7 Specified Transformer Losses SECTION 26 12 19.00 40 Page 23 NOTE: Steps to specifying transformer losses.
1. Print Tables PM-1, PM-2, PM-3, and EC-1 as applicable (directions included at the front of this specification).
2. Obtain energy cost for the specific activity from the cognizant EFD or PWC. Energy costs should be based on the cost of energy without the demand charge factors scaled in. Use Table EC-1 for energy costs at the NAVFAC Atlantic activities indicated.
Use Table PM-2 for energy costs at all SOUTHNAVFACENGCOM activities. (Additional tables will be added for other EFD's as the information becomes available.)
3. Use Tables PM-1, PM-2, and PM-3 to specify losses and impedances for transformers based on energy cost range, and transformer primary and secondary voltages.
4. Perform fault current calculations to verify that distribution equipment is coordinated with impedance specified.
No-load losses (NLL) are [_____] watts at 20 degrees C and load losses (LL) are [_____] watts at 85 degrees C. Use the values for the specified losses for comparison with the losses determined during the routine tests. If the routine test values for no-load losses exceed the specified no-load losses by more than 10 percent, or the total losses exceed the specified total losses (sum of no-load and load losses) by more than 6 percent, the transformer is unacceptable.
Submit certification from the manufacturer indicating conformance with requirements.
]2.1.1.8 Insulating Liquid NOTE: Choose one of the following options. For NAVFAC Atlantic , choose less-flammable transformer liquids for all projects unless there is a specific requirement to do otherwise.

]2.1.1.9 Liquid-Filled Transformer Nameplates Provide distribution transformers with nameplate information in accordance with IEEE C57.12.00 and as modified or supplemented by this section.
2.1.1.10 Corrosion Protection
NOTE: Use stainless steel bases and cabinets for most applications. In hostile environments, the additional cost of totally stainless steel tanks and metering may be justified. Manufacturer's standard construction material is acceptable only in noncoastal and non-corrosive environments. Choose the second bracketed option for hostile environments.
[Provide corrosion resistant transformer cabinets and bases fabricated of stainless steel conforming to ASTM A240/A240M, Type 304 or 304L.
