Description of Requirement:

The Richard L Roudebush VA Medical Center has a requirement to replace two existing motor control centers (MCCs) in the NW electrical equipment room with free standing panelboards and circuit breakers. The project also includes the replacement of two existing panel boards and cabinets with one consolidated panelboard in room C-B019. The work includes the removal of the old cabinets and circuit breakers from both locations and the provision and installation of new Eaton cabinets and Eaton circuit breakers. The contractor shall be responsible for providing a complete and operational system consistent with the existing electrical distribution. Replacement shall match or exceed the existing system in voltage rating, ampacity, interrupting capacity and the number of operable circuits. The completed installation shall not reduce system capacity, reliability or operational functionality.

All work will occur at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center (RLRVAMC), 1481 W. 10th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202. All work will occur in the interior of Building 1 on campus.

This is a fully functioning hospital that provides medical care 24 hours per day, every day of the year. Interruption of electrical services would significantly impair the ability of the hospital to continue to provide services to veterans.

Disruptive testing or power curtailment work shall be completed during off hours.
