24 May 2012

SUBJECT: Military Ocean Terminal, Sunny Point (MOTSU) Electrical Standard

1. In addition to the contents of the latest edition of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and the National Electrical Safety Code, the following items form the minimum electrical requirements for facilities located on MOTSU.

A. General:

1) All secondary electrical work done on MOTSU shall be performed by personnel authorized to engage in electrical contracting within the state of North Carolina and shall hold a North Carolina electrical license (suitable for the costs and voltages of the project). An electrical license from another state may be acceptable if it qualifies under North Carolina's reciprocity process. Submittal of a certified copy of the electrical license shall be required. This requirement does not apply to primary electrical distribution, street lights, generator work up to the transfer switch and area lights.

2) The construction contractor shall be responsible for obtaining a digging permit from DPW, prior to performing any digging on MOTSU. A digging permit shall also be required for any work on the wharfs. See attachment 3, titled “Application for Digging Permit“ for a digging permit request form. When properly completed, this permit will locate underground utilities which may be affected by the project. Markings for underground utilities are considered approximately only. The actual location of the utility shall be considered within a band ± 36 inches from either side of the painted mark or flag. The contractor shall be totally responsible for repairs to marked utilities that he may damage. Any damaged Utility shall immediately be reported to DPW at 910-457-8292. Any damaged utilities shall be repaired within eight hours of the initial damage, or the Government (at its option) may have the utility repaired and then charge the contractor. If an unmarked utility is damaged by the contractor, the Government will have it repaired, if all aspects to the Digging Permit have been followed. Typically, once a digging permit is submitted by the contractor, DPW shall have five business days to complete the application process and have utilities marked.

3) Any non-metallic conduit or inner-duct installed underground for installation of fiber optic cable, gas, or any other non-electrical conductive materials shall have a tracer wire installed. This tracer wire may be either part of the conduit, preinstalled or blown in after conduit or inner-duct installation. Tracer wire shall be accessible at least every two hundred feet.

Access points to the tracer wire may include valve boxes, hand-holes, manholes, vaults, marker posts, or other covered access devices. Access point covers should be clearly marked with the type of facility. Additionally, all fiber optic cable shall be clearly marked with a white marker post (minimum of 66 inches in length, with at least four feet above grade) by 3-1/2 inch minimum diameter which shall be located at least every two hundred feet along the length of the cable run (if no other access point to the tracer wire is available). The making post shall have an orange top (at least 18 inches in length) which states, as a minimum, “WARNING FIBER OPTIC CABLE” and shall have a graphic warning with a contact number. The contact number shall be 457-8292. Marker posts shall have a peg through the embedded portion of the marker post and into the surrounding soil for pullout resistance. An orange “Marker Tape” (with the words “BURRIED FIBER OPTIC CABLE BELOW” shall be install 12 to 24 inches below the surrounding grade. Fiber optic cable shall be installed four feet below final grade. Additional information can be found at MOTSU Utility Line Marking Specification, which is attached to this document.

4) Utility line marking shall be IAW the attached “MOTSU Utility Line Marking Specification”. See Attachment 4.

5) Typically, for new or rehabbed facilities, the following two electrical inspections (all projects under Corps of Engineer (COE) control will normally be inspected by COE; all other work requiring an inspection will be performed by DPW) are required prior to receiving approval to have BEMC energize electrical power at the site:

a. Rough-In Inspection: A rough-in inspection shall be required after all electrical conduit, wire, panels, outlet boxes, switch boxes, equipment boxes, isolation switch boxes, etc.

have been properly installed. Except for the final connection to switches, receptacles, and lighting fixtures, all ground wires and other wires in boxes must be spliced and pigtailed for the rough-in inspection. The rough-in inspection shall be conducted before insulation, sheet-rock, paneling, or other materials cover any wiring is installed. Underground wiring and under-slab wiring must be inspected before the trench is back-filled. Where wiring is concealed before rough-in inspection, the prime contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with uncovering and replacing the covering material so all wiring can be inspected. A written report identifying any observed errors or defects will be provided to the contractor and DPW. Any faults identified by the inspector will be corrected before additional electrical work shall be allowed.

b. Final Inspection: A final inspection shall be required after all final connections for wiring, panels, lights, switches, receptacles, outlet boxes, switch boxes, equipment boxes, isolation switch boxes, etc. have been properly installed. All overcurrent protection, front covers, fixture lens, etc shall be completely installed prior to a final inspection. A written report identifying any observed errors or defects will be provided to the contractor and DPW. Any faults identified by the inspector shall be corrected before an approved final inspection is awarded. Upon completion of a successful final inspection, DPW will direct BEMC to make the facility service hot.

c. Request for inspection: A request for inspection (rough-in or final) can be obtained from COE for projects under their control and from DPW (910-457-8292; see subparagraph “d” below) for all other projects; the request should be submitted five (5) working days prior to the needed inspection date.

d. Use Attachment 1 for application to request an electrical inspection through DPW.

6) Electrical panels, disconnects, or other switchgear mounted in mechanical rooms are allowed to be surface mounted; however, they shall be mounted flush against the supporting wall; in most cases, they shall not extend over eight (8) inches from the wall or purlin face. In metal buildings, they may be installed on uni-strut (or equal) directly fastened to purlins supporting the walls. Building bracing (tie cables) shall not run behind the panels or within the NEC required panel clearance. Typically, the upper edge of the panel shall be at 6-1/2 feet above the finished grade and the lower edge of the panel shall not be lower than 18 inches above the finished grade. Panels over 600 amperes may have the bottom edge of the panel closer to the floor; however, effort will be made to keep it at least two inches above finished grade. If these requirements cannot be met, then coordination prior to installation is required with DPW.

7) Main exterior building disconnect switches are allowed to be surface mounted;

however, the back edge of the disconnect shall be placed flush against the building (for its entire length). On new facilities, brickwork or other siding materials (on two tone structures, for example metal above brick) may require special attention to recess the disconnect switch in order to keep the back flush with the building. The top of the disconnect switch shall be 6 -1/2 feet above ground level. If these requirements cannot be met, then coordination prior to installation is required with DPW.

8) On new construction projects, temporary utilities (electricity, potable water, and sewage) will be made available to the contractor at no costs (if they are available in the work area or after site work is completed). This should not be misinterpreted as permanent electrical connection to the facility. A permanent electrical connection to the facility shall only be accomplished after a successful final electrical inspection has been obtained. The contractor shall perform all connections and disconnections (other than primary electrical; this shall be accomplished by BEMC) and shall supply any required temporary service pole, reducing valves, piping, etc... required to make such a temporary connection. All such connections shall be done by personnel licensed and qualified to perform such connections. The term "temporary utilities" shall specifically not include heat and/or air conditioning. If heat and/or air conditioning are required by the contractor prior to acceptance of the project by the Government, he shall provide it at no expense to the Government. Temporary electrical service shall not be utilized for heat and/or air conditioning. Fuel oil shall not be provided by the Government. If excessive or wasteful usage of utilities is detected, they shall be turned off.

9) If temporary electrical power is required at the site (especially on new construction projects), the prime contractor shall negotiate directly with BEMC to have the power run and connected to a contractor supplied temporary service pole. The prime contractor shall pay BEMC directly for this service. This shall be an agreement between the prime contractor and BEMC; the Government shall not be involved in these negotiations or subject to any financial obligations between the prime contractor and BEMC. All requirements within this MOTSU Electrical Standard shall be maintained. The contractor shall also pay BEMC to have the temporary electrical service removed. The Government will provide the electricity; however, if energy waste is detected the electricity shall be turned off.

10) On maintenance or rehab type projects, once the building envelope is closed in, the contractor may utilize existing electrical utilities. If heat or air conditioning is available, the heat shall not be set above 50 degrees and the air conditioning shall not be set lower than 80 degrees.

However, prior to turning on the HVAC, checks shall be made to ensure clean filters are in place (new filters will be installed by the contractor, based upon debris and dust in the air). Any locations where over 80 square feet of sheetrock or any other operation where large amounts of debris or dust are made/encountered shall have the ductwork professionally cleaned to a “clean system” level. If windows and doors are continually open or if excessive or wasteful usage of heating/air conditioning is detected, they shall be turned off.

11) The Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) shall be installed in the mechanical room of all new/rehab facilities. Only UL listed and UL labeled FACP and devices shall be allowed.

The FACP shall be on a separate electrical circuit controlled from a lockable circuit breaker (circuit breaker shall be red in color). There shall be a smoke detector install in the ceiling directly over the FACP. The MOTSU fire alarm system carrier frequency is 465.9625 and

469.8125 MHZ. The fire alarm system shall be a Class A, addressable system. Initiating Device Circuits (IDC) shall be Class A, Style Eα. Signaling Line Circuits (SLC) shall be Class A, Style 6α. All newly installed fire alarm systems shall be 100% compatible with the existing MOTSU fire alarm system and NFPA-72. This specifically means that all devices, signals, software, and hardware shall be capable of being used with the existing fire alarm systems and devices without the need for special modifications or conversions of the existing or newly installed system/device. MOTSU currently utilizes an EST/Keltron fire alarm system and devices. There shall be no proprietary fire alarm systems, FACP, or other fire alarm devices installed on MOTSU. Prior to ordering any fire alarm system or component, the contractor shall submit equipment/software submittals of the product to the authority having jurisdiction (Fire Department Fire Inspector) for approval; items not receiving a written approval shall not be ordered. Fire alarm systems on MOTSU shall be installed, tested, and certified by a NICET Level IV (minimum) Fire Alarm Technician. Prior to acceptance, any newly installed fire alarm system shall be completely tested (from each device in the new/rehabbed facility back to the Fire Command Center located in building 44). The contractor shall provide all hardware and software required for 100% communications linkage between the newly installed fire alarm system and the Fire Command Center located in building 44. A “Record of Completion” shall be completed by the contractor and provided to DPW and the MOTSU Fire Inspector for all installed fire alarm systems, IAW NFPA-72. Any maintenance and/or repairs done on any MOTSU Fire Alarm system shall be done by a certified NICET Level IV (minimum) Fire Alarm Technician.

12) To satisfy requirements of Public Law 104-133, National Technology Transfer and

Advancement Act, the DOD Fire Engineering Committee has determined Military Handbook (MILHDBK) 1008 is the implementing document for this requirement. All fire protection designs on MOTSU shall use this consensus standard.

13) In HAZADROUS locations, INTRINSICALLY safe devices SHALL NOT be allowed. This specifically includes overhead door operating devices and controls.

14) As a minimum, a properly sized Surge Protective Device (SPD) which meets the minimum requirements of the “3rd Edition” of UL 1449 shall be provided at all new or modified panels. The SPD shall be UL listed and labeled as having been tested IAW UL 1449 and shall be marked for lightning protection system (LPS) application. Fuses shall not be used as surge suppression.

15) SPD suitable (shall meet UL 1449 3rd Edition and be installed IAW UL 96A) for the application shall be provided for all electrical, conductive signal, data, and communication lines at the point of entrance to all new or modified buildings. The protection provided shall be installed IAW Articles 800, 810, 820, or 830 (as applicable) of the NEC and shall comply with UL-452, UL-497, and UL-497C (as applicable).

16) All power lines entering an ammunition pad area shall require surge arresters IAW

DA PM 385-64, paragraphs 6-5.a/b and 12-2. Additionally, surge protection devices shall meet the minimum requirements of UL 1449, third edition and shall be marked for Lightning Protection System (LPS) use.

13) All circuit breakers shall be bolt-on types unless PW agrees to different types.

14) Electrical wiring for all panels and disconnects shall be sized for the full (100%) panel or disconnect rating, regardless of the breaker or fuse size actually installed. For example, if a 225-ampere rated panel is installed with a 100-ampere circuit breaker, then wiring shall be sized for the 225-ampere rated panel. In this example, 100-ampere rated wire is not acceptable.

15) All wiring going into electrical lugs shall have conductive protective grease applied in such a manner as to totally enclose the wire end which fits into the lug. The purpose of the grease is to reduce corrosion.

16) All wiring entering electrical lugs, circuit breakers, fuses, disconnects or any other electrical device shall have no more than 1/4 inch of exposed wire visible from the edge of the electrical device, where the electrical conductor enters the device to the edge of the wire insulation.

17) 20A/120V branch circuits exceeding 100' and 20A/277V branch circuits exceeding 230' in length from control panel to farthest device or fixture shall use number 10 AWG conductors. 20A/120V branch circuits exceeding 150' shall use number 8 AWG conductors.

27) If dry type transformers are required, they shall be installed on a concrete housekeeping pad four inches high and extending three inches beyond all sides of the transformer base. Install four (1/2 inch thick) neoprene pads between the transformer base and the concrete pad. Bolt the transformer to the concrete pad.

28) All underground cables (electrical and/or communication) running under roads, parking lots, sidewalks and other "hard" surfaces shall be bored under these structures. The technique of cutting and resurfacing shall not be allowed.

29) Typically, all exterior lights mounted on buildings shall be LED "Wall Washer" types. The color should be 4,500 to 5,000 degrees Kelvin. If for some reason, LED lighting cannot be utilized, the use of High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) type lighting is acceptable. Typical size is 35 watts.

30) Normally in office or administrative spaces, interior fluorescent lighting shall be type T-8, with electronic ballast, and shall be switched to allow one, two, or three lamps (for a three tube fixture) or either two or four lamps (for a four tube fixture) to be lit depending on lighting needs in a particular area.

31) Typically in high bay areas lighting shall be fluorescent type T-5, with electronic ballast, and shall be switched to allow photo cell control through a standard electric switch.

32) No incandescent lighting shall be allowed on MOTSU.

33) All EXIT lights shall be on a separate circuit controlled from a lockable circuit breaker (circuit breaker shall be red in color). EXIT signs shall be of the Electroluminescent or Light Emitting Capacitor (LEC) type only.

Article 700 and shall be UL 924 listed and labeled. The branch circuit feeding the emergency luminaire shall be the same branch circuit as that serving the normal lighting in the area and shall be connected ahead of any local switches. The branch circuit that feeds the emergency luminaire shall be clearly identified at the distribution panel. Typically, these emergency fluorescent luminaire shall consist of two electronic ballasts to allow one tube of a three or four tube luminaire to light when power is lost. The light shall be wired so it functions as a normal fluorescent luminaire, except that when branch circuit power is lost a single tube will illuminate from an internal ballast and backup battery. The battery should supply power to the lamp for 90 minutes. An emergency luminaire which continually lights one or more tubes 24/7 shall not be allowed. One company that makes such luminaire is Cooper Lighting.

35) On secondary systems (other than MDP feeders – which are owned by BEMC), when underground conduit is run (1 1/2" and larger), it shall be encased in concrete and shall have spare runs equal to 100 percent of the base run (for base runs of three conduits or less). For base runs of four to eight, 50 percent spare runs shall be required (rounded upward). Additional runs will be determined on case-by-case bases. Spare runs shall have installed a nylon fish-wire extending to each end; each end shall be permanently marked as to where the other end is located, and shall be capped.

3. Using a metal detector (valve box detector).

4. Using local knowledge and existing utility maps.

5. Carefully hand digging (potholing) to uncover the utility.

6. Using the services of the North Carolina One-Call Center.

B. Located utilities will be marked according to the “Virginia Underground Utility Marking

Standards”. Copies of the standard are available on the internet at http://www.scc.virginia.gov/urs/mutility/docs/va_uums.pdf or from the MOTSU Public Works office.

C. Located utilities will be marked using the following methods:

1. Painted on the grass or pavement using the standard utility identification colors designated by the American Public Works Association (APWA).

2. Flags (preferred for grass areas) using the standard utility identification colors designated by the APWA.

3. In paved areas, permanent marker disks using the standard utility identification colors designated by the APWA will be adhered to the pavement.

4. GIS Administrator will take GPS readings before the trench is closed.

PART 2: NEW UTILITIES

New utilities will be marked as follows:

1. MOTSU GIS Administrator will take GPS readings before the trench is closed.

2. MOTSU DPW shall inspect and approve the tracing wire prior to closing the trench.

3. Metalized marker tape buried in the trench at 1 or 2 depths depending on depth of the trench. The ends of the tape must be easily accessible inside of pull boxes.

4. Marker posts installed alongside the trench and at pull boxes.

5. Permanent marker disks adhered to the pavement using the standard utility identification colors designated by the APWA.

6. Additionally, an easily accessible tracer wire is required for any non-metallic utility lines (inner duct) to aid in locating in the future. The ends of the wire must be easily accessible inside of pull boxes.

PART 3: MARKING PRODUCTS

A. General: Marker tapes shall be manufactured specifically for warning and identification of buried utility cables and pipes. Metalized marker tape shall be used for non-metallic lines (plastic pipe, etc.). Marker tapes shall be inert plastic specially formulated for prolonged use underground and shall be resistant to alkalis, acids and other destructive agents found in the soil. Tape shall be provided in rolls, 3-inch minimum width, color coded for appropriate utility with warning and identification imprinted in bold black letters repeatedly over entire length of the tape. Warning and identification shall be "CAUTION BURIED [COMMUNICATION CABLE – TELEPHONE or FIBER OPTIC] [ELECTRIC CABLE] [SEWER PIPELINE] [WATER PIPELINE] BELOW" or similar wording. Color code and lettering shall be permanent, unaffected by moisture and other substances contained in backfill material.

B. APWA Color Codes:

1. Electric cables: Red

2. Water pipelines: Blue

3. Sewer pipelines: Green

4. Communication cables: Orange

5. Gas, steam & petroleum products: Yellow

6. Reclaimed water, irrigation & slurry pipelines: Purple

C. Buried warning, identification and locator tape used in trenches containing electrical cable shall be 4-mil polyethylene plastic tape conforming to ASTM D882.

D. Buried warning, identification and locator tape for use in trenches containing non-metallic water and sewer lines shall be 5.5 mil composition film containing one layer of metalized foil laminated between two layers of inert plastic film conforming to ASTM D2103. Tape shall be detectable by cable locating equipment used to locate underground utility lines. Additionally, an easily accessible tracer wire shall be required for any non-metallic utility lines to aid in line locating in the future. The ends of the wire must be easily accessible inside of pull boxes or utility marker posts. Each wire shall be fully identified with permanent markings as to what system it traces.

E. Utility Marker Posts may be either:

1. Flexible, durable, reinforced composite posts manufactured specifically for warning and identification of buried utility lines. Posts shall be 3-1/2 inches minimum width and a minimum of 66 inches in length, color coded for intended service with a 3-inch wide warning and identification decal attached. Warning and identification shall be "CAUTION BURIED [COMMUNICATION CABLE – TELEPHONE or FIBER

OPTIC] [ELECTRIC CABLE] [SEWER PIPELINE] [WATER PIPELINE]

BELOW" or similar wording. Code and letter coloring shall be permanent. Utility markers will have the GIS map reference number for that location (i.e. valve # 149).

Or:

2. White post 3.5 inches diameter with a minimum of 66 inches in length and a dome top color coded for the appropriate utility. See Flexible post identification details above.

2. A minimum of 12 inches of marker tape will be visible inside of pull boxes.

B. Marker Posts:

1. Install utility marker posts in unpaved areas at intervals not to exceed 250 feet of sight distance and wherever changes in horizontal direction occur.

2. Install markers in a true, vertical plane directly over or immediately adjacent to the utilities to which they relate. Marker posts will be located approximately three (3) feet away from valve boxes and cable pull boxes so as not to interfere with any maintenance and repair operations. Marker posts shall be installed to provide a minimum marker post anchoring depth of 18 inches.

3. Utility marker posts will be installed per the manufacturer’s instructions.

C. Tracer Wire:

1. Tracer wires will be installed in accordance with Sandia National Laboratories

Facilities Engineering Drawing Detail No. WG5005STD (http://www.sandia.gov/engstds/StdDwgs/StdDwgsPDF/W_CivilWork/WG5005STD .pdf). Ends of the tracer wire (10” minimum) must be accessible without the need for tools.

D. Utilities Pavement Marker Disks:

1. Pavement markers may be acquired from http://www.dasmanufacturing.com/product_guide.html . There are numerous other manufacturers who make these devices. This listed manufacturer is a producer of such products, but the listing of this manufacture shall not be interpreted as a recommendation of the Government.
