1 PROJECT SCOPE

The Contractor shall furnish and install a complete, working, and fully functional Pulse Generating System (PGS), which consists of Pulse Generating Unit(s) (PGU) with a corresponding Pulse Generating Control System (PGCS or PGS Control System), Power Monitoring System (PMS), Cooling Control System (CCS), and Control System Database (CSD), as part of an integrated system at the Permanent Barrier I Aquatic Nuisance Species Dispersal Barriers (PB1 Barrier or Permanent Barrier I) facility in Romeoville, Illinois located on the Chicago Sanitary Shipping Canal (CSSC). The Contractor shall provide a fully functional and complete working system in compliance with the requirements itemized in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and contract.

The PGS shall include two Pulse Generating Units that pulse power through two independent underwater electrode arrays already installed. Each array will generate an independent pulsed direct current (DC) electric field in the CSSC.

The PGS shall convert the Government provided 4160 Volts (V) alternating current (AC) power supply into a pulsed DC current able to operate at an adjustable range within the full range of parameters for Volts, pulse frequency, and pulse duration allowed by the equipment.

Notwithstanding the previously installed government equipment, the PGS equipment capabilities shall, at least, provide for peak pulse voltages of any value from 1,000-6,000V and peak pulse currents up to 30,000 Amps (A), not simultaneously, on the output of the PGS, with a pulse frequency of 0.5 to 100 Hertz (Hz) within increment adjustments of 0.1Hz and a pulse duration of 0-1000 milliseconds (ms) within increment adjustments of 100 microseconds (µs) with harmonic distortion within IEEE 519 standards. The maximum power delivered to a single Pulse Generating Unit shall be no less than 4.3 Megawatts (MW).

The Contractor shall design each Pulse Generating Unit to be capable of being synchronized or interleaved with all other Pulse Generating Units at the PB1 facility. Consistent with the synchronization system for the existing barriers, each Pulse Generating Unit shall use the leading edge of a pulse from a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal with a given offset based on a percentage of the operating frequency to achieve synchronization or interleaving with other Pulse Generating Units on site.

The Contractor shall coordinate with other contractors who may be installing interdependent systems at the PB1 facility, including, as described below, for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, Electronic Security Systems (ESS) including integrated video intercom entry system, Electronic Access Control Systems (EACS), and a Close-Circuit Television (CCTV) System. The Contractor shall work within the existing site conditions, including the structural building and support systems built under separate contracts. If this is not possible the contractor shall include any and all alterations in the initial proposal.

1.1 Existing Infrastructure to Support the Permanent Barrier I PGS The following components of the PB1 Barrier are either complete or soon to be completed, including: the underwater electrodes and the cabling from the electrodes to the ground surface; the building with its supporting electrical (other than pulse generating equipment); the mechanical systems (HVAC and plumbing); the building supporting systems (telecommunications, fire alarm, fire protection, and security); and the corresponding control systems for the aforementioned components.

The Contractor shall utilize the existing infrastructure (cooling system, electrical, and physical building layout) for the PGS and associated systems. If the existing infrastructure is insufficient, it is the contractor’s responsibility to include any alterations and costs of those alterations in the proposal prior to bidding.

The Permanent Barrier I Building is a reinforced concrete and masonry building. The rooms intended to hold all of the pulsing equipment are approximately 50 feet by 27 feet, with an 18 feet wide by 14 feet tall opening to access the room from the hallway. The roll up door opening to access the building is approximately 14 feet wide by 14 feet tall. Further details are set forth in Appendix B.

Electrical power is delivered to the Barrier site via two 34.5KV ComEd utility feeders. Each feeder is routed underground and connected separately to two 7500/9370KVA and a three phase 34.5KV Δ: 4.16KV Y grounded pad mount utility transformer located just north of the Barrier site. Two 4.16KV feeders are then routed underground to the Control Gear and Back Up (CGBP) building.

These feeders connect separately to two switchgear ‘MVS-BUS A1’ and ‘MVS-BUS A2’ rated 4.16KV, 2000A each. In the event of a power outage two 3250KW diesel stand-by generators are connected to ‘MVS-BUS A1’ and ‘MVS-BUS A2’ to provide backup power until utility service is restored. Further details are set forth in Section 2.1.3 of the PWS and the one-line diagram on sheet E-600 of the drawing set attached in Appendix C.

Two 4.16KV feeders from the ‘MVS-BUS A1’ and ‘MVS-BUS A2’ switchgear are then routed underground from the CGBP building to the PB1 building located south of the CGBP building.

These feeders enter the PB1 building and separately connect to two switchgear ‘SWGR-BUS-A1’ and ‘SWGR-BUS-A2’ located in ‘Switchgear Room 1’ and ‘Switchgear Room 2’, respectively.

Each switchgear includes one spare 4.16kV vacuum type circuit breaker to provide power to the pulse generating equipment to be installed in ‘Pulse Generating Unit Room 1’ and ‘Pulse Generating Unit Room 2’ located just north of ‘Switchgear Room 1’ and ‘Switchgear Room 2’.

Further details are set forth in Section 2.1.2 of the PWS and the one-line diagram on sheet E-601 in the drawing set attached in Appendix B.

The two PB1 closed loop liquid cooling systems, have been designed to provide cooling to Pulse Generating Units and environmental cooling/heating to the Pulser room at the parameters described below. Further details are set forth in Section 2.2.1 of the PWS and the cooling system product data and shop drawings attached in Appendix E.

The Contractor shall modify, as necessary, the closed loop liquid cooling system to meet the requirements of the PGS equipment provided by the contractor. All costs associated with modifying the closed loop liquid cooling system shall be accounted for in the initial proposal. Any alteration to the cooling system not initially accounted for will not be grounds for change orders or additional costs to the Government.

The processed water loop water pump was designed for a constant minimum flow rate of 74 gallons per minute (gpm) through the Evaporator (Chiller).

Below are the operating system temperatures parameters the system was designed to:

Chiller: 88F (EWT, maximum) and 65F (LWT, minimum).

The leaving water temperature minimum value was set to prevent condensation by being set above the space dew point. The contractor shall control the cooling water temperature based on the dew point and shall ensure condensation does not form on non-insulated piping.

The chiller unit consists of four modules. The system was designed to meet the modular chiller thermal load of 580,900Btu/hr (48.4 tons) using three of the four modules with the fourth module included for redundancy purposes. Each module has a nominal capacity of 15 tons. The chiller system’s total capacity is 88.9 tons.

There are currently two underwater electrode (steel bars) arrays with associated electrode cables.

Further details are set forth in Appendix D. Each array consist of 40 - 5”x5” steel bars assembled for a total length of approximately 156’ for each steel bar that spans the width of the canal and rest on underwater concrete sleepers. Each array has two major groupings with 20 steel bars per major grouping and strategically oriented within each grouping. The two groupings for each array will provide each array with a cathode and an anode. Each steel bar has one 250kcmil, 5KV, HDPE cables attached to each end (see additional details in Appendix F). Therefore, there are a total of 80 cables for each array. The cables are attached to the underwater steel bars and routed through one large conduit into each Pulse Generating Equipment Room; thereby each array is fed by a separate Pulse Generating Unit equipment. The cables are currently attached to a temporary support structure which will later be connected to the associated equipment.

No additional equipment will be furnished as Government Furnished Equipment unless otherwise directed by the Government. The contractor shall provide all equipment required to have a complete and functional Pulse Generating System (including cooling) and all required controls.

The contractor’s proposal shall not include or assume the government shall furnish equipment not already installed at the project site.

1.2 Existing Fish Dispersal Barriers.

The Permanent Barrier I facility is located adjacent to the US Army Corps of Engineers’ existing Electric Dispersal Barrier system in the Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal (CSSC) near Romeoville, Illinois. The existing Dispersal Barriers send rapidly pulsed DC current through electrodes in the canal which creates an electric field in the water that deters the passage of invasive fish. The existing Dispersal Barriers system includes several major facilities and structures, including: the Demonstration Barrier, Barrier IIA and Barrier IIB. The Permanent Barrier I building is located between the Demonstration Barrier and Barrier IIB.

The Demonstration Barrier is located in the CSSC at approximately river mile 296.5. It consists of twelve steel cables secured just above the canal bottom. The upstream-to-downstream length of the barrier is 54 feet. A rapidly pulsed DC current is sent through the cables creating an electric field in the water that extends to the water surface. The Demonstration Barrier utilizes 4 Pulse Generating Units each comprised of a rectifier, capacitor bank, and an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) pulsed power assembly to generate pulsed DC voltage in the water with a maximum field strength at the water surface of 1 volt/inch, a frequency of 5Hz with a pulse duration of 4mS. There are two 125KVA and two 25KVA Pulse Generating Units. The Demonstration Barrier has been operational since 2002.

Barrier II was designed as two halves, each actually an independent barrier (Barrier IIA and Barrier IIB). This was done to provide redundancy, so that if one half is off-line for maintenance, (whether scheduled or unscheduled), the other half can be operational. Each are electrical barriers similar in principle to the Demonstration Barrier, but both are larger than the Demonstration Barrier and able to generate more powerful electric fields over a larger area.

Barrier IIA is located in the CSSC approximately 1,150 feet downstream of the Demonstration Barrier. Barrier IIA utilizes three Pulse Generating Units each comprised of a rectifier, capacitor bank, and IGBT pulsed power assembly to generate a pulsed DC in the water. Barrier IIA has 32 electrodes over 130 feet upstream-to-downstream on the canal bottom. The electrodes are solid steel billets because it was learned that the steel cable used at the Demonstration Barrier corrode rapidly. Some of the electrodes consist of more than one billet; a total of 42 billets are used for the 32 electrodes. There are two 1.5MW units and one 350KW unit.

Barrier IIA has two sub-parts known as the wide and narrow arrays. The narrow array extends over approximately 50 feet upstream-to-downstream in the canal and is where the maximum electric field strength of the barrier can be generated. The operating parameters for the narrow array are normally a DC voltage in the water with a maximum field strength at the water surface of 2.3 volts/inch from a source of a DC voltage of @2,200V, @8,000A, a frequency of 34 Hz with a pulse duration of 2.3mS. However, these operating parameters can be adjusted. The wide array extends over approximately 80 feet upstream-to-downstream, but can’t generate field strengths as high as the narrow array. The operating parameters for the wide array are normally a DC voltage in the water with a maximum field strength at the water surface of 1 volts/inch from a source of a DC voltage of @800VDC, @2000A, a frequency of 34 Hz with a pulse duration of 2.3mS. The wide array is downstream of the narrow array. Barrier IIA was placed into full time operation in 2009.

Barrier IIB is located in the CSSC, approximately 800 feet downstream of the Demonstration Barrier and 220 feet upstream of Barrier IIA. Barrier IIB utilizes equipment with very similar specifications and quantity to the equipment in Barrier IIA. It has the same type, number, and spacing of electrodes as Barrier IIA, and similar operating parameters. Barrier IIB was placed into service in April 2011.

3.3 Pulse Generating System

The Contractor shall provide and install a fully functional Pulse Generating System (PGS) for PB1 Barrier facility that meets the performance specifications and requirements set forth in the contract.

The Contractor shall provide and install a PGS that includes two (2) Pulse Generating Units with the capability of working simultaneously or independently of each other to continuously maintain the pulsing of (DC) direct current power in the Chicago Sanitary Ship Canal. These Pulse- Generating Units will be installed within two separate rooms (“Pulser Rooms”) as shown in Appendix A (PGS Drawings); and Appendix B (Building Plans), within actual as-constructed conditions.

For purposes of information only, the Government has observed canal conditions between 600µS/cm (ambient) at 86˚F for summer months and 2800µS/cm (ambient) at 34˚F in winter (additional historical data can be made available after contract award). For purposes of information only, the Government has observed at the existing barriers that the peak current increases by approximately 1,500A when a metal hulled vessel passes through the barriers (additional detailed data can be made available after contract award).

Pulse Generating Unit Components Each Pulse Generating Unit shall include, but is not limited to, the following components:

(a) A pulsing device to generate the required DC electrical pulses. The pulsing device shall be capable of supporting peak rectangular DC currents of 30,000 A and DC voltages of 6,000 V. The maximum pulse repetition rate shall be 100Hz with a minimum pulse repetition rate of 0.5Hz, with increment adjustments of 0.1Hz and a pulse duration of 0- 1000 milliseconds (ms) within increment adjustments of 100 microseconds (µs). The pulsing device shall be capable of operating at peak output rectangular currents of at least the following: 10,000A peak at 100% duty cycle, 17,000A peak at 40% duty cycle, 25,000A peak at 33% duty cycle, and 30,000A peak at 10% duty cycle. The pulse width and pulse frequency as measured from the output of the pulsing device shall be within

There may be induced power onto the PB1 polarity switches introduced by neighboring electrical barriers that may be operating. The Contractor shall analyze these potential power sources for the effect to the PB1 Pulse Generating System and incorporate this into the design of the polarity switch or any other Pulse Generating Unit equipment that could potentially be affected.

The existing barriers have been known to have 300V potential and 20A current flow during similar situations. The Contractor shall provide adequate isolation provisions in place that will separate personnel from hazardous areas such as charged capacitors and potentially energized conductors during maintenance periods when personnel are present in the room;
