APPENDIX A

BACKGROUND OF ELECTRICAL GRID

1. The Base receives power from Eversource Energy through two overhead 3-phase circuits operating at 24.9 kV (24,900) volts nominal. The primary line is a government-owned Bourne Feeder No. 79, which terminates at the switchgear on Eversource Transformer 915 near Cape Cod Canal. The secondary feeder is the Eversource-owned Falmouth Feeder No. 78, which is the emergency feeder. Both feeders enter the substation through reclosers upstream of the JBCC master.

2. Primary protection for the base transformers are by differential relays.

3. The 79 line is approximately 7.2 km (4.5 miles) long w/ No.1/0 conductors operating at approximately 23.8 kV with Otis 115 kV bulk substation as its source. The utility owned Falmouth line is about 12.1 km (7.5 miles) long, operating at approximately 23.8 kV. It is made up of approximately 795 MCM ACSR conductors with Mashpee (Hatchville) 115 kV bulk substation as its source.

4. The West/Main Substation, constructed in 1992, contains two substation transformers:

Transformer No. 1 is a 5.0MVA transformer with a 22.9kV nominal primary and 12.47kV secondary.

Transformer No. 2 is a 7.5 MVA transformer with a 22.9kV nominal primary and a 12.47kV secondary. Transformer No 2 presently carries the full base load. Transformer No. 1 is typically used as a standby in case of failure of the No. 2 transformer.

5. There are seven (7) power circuit breakers for outgoing feeder protection within the West Main Sub Station. Presently all feeders are in use. Feeder protective relays are mounted in each cubicle.

6. Approximately 43 miles of distribution feeders extend from the West/Main sub-station to the Army, Coast Guard housing, Air National Guard areas of the Base and others. Distribution is generally overhead on approximately 2,200 utility poles. Pole mounted distribution transformers convert the 12.47kV to lower voltages to serve the various buildings and other facilities on Base. Most of the existing utility poles were installed in 1992.

7. FOR SECURITY REASONS: Electrical grid map will be shown during site visit, but will not be given out. The selected contractor(s) will have access to those maps once the agreement is final.
