STATEMENT OF WORK
NRM PROJECT: 640-15-15
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The existing emergency power generator system in Building 103 located at the VA Palo Alto campus does not have the adequate power capacity to support the existing and planned emergency power loads for Buildings 100, 101, and 102. The existing paralleling generator system consists of five (5) 600kW, 480V emergency generators with an N+1 configuration to provide redundancy. However, due to the lack of sufficient generator capacity, all five (5) generators are required to support the current emergency power loads, therefore, eliminating the N+1 redundancy requirement.
This project is comprised of two primary objectives: (1) to provide additional emergency power capacity by augmenting the existing generator system via installing additional generators and fuel storage systems adjacent to Building 103, and (2) to provide future expansion capacity for normal and emergency power distribution in Building 100 by way of a new main electrical room, ME-3.
SCOPE OF WORK (SOW):
The contractor shall provide all the necessary labor, tools, equipment, and supervision to perform the requirements of “Project #640-15-158, PAD Buildings 100/101 Emergency Power Upgrade.” The contractor shall provide all demolition, labor, materials, tools, equipment, and specialty services to complete all work according to the drawings and specifications.
The contractor shall provide all the demolition and construction services for the procurement and installation of the new generator system, fuel storage system, and all associated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work as required by the drawings and specifications.
- Generator System
The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, tools, and equipment to furnish and install a new paralleling generator system according to drawings and specifications. The new generator system shall consist of three (3) 480 Volt (V), 1500kW diesel generators that will feed into a new 3000 Amp (A) paralleling switchboard. The contractor shall be required to furnish and install all new breakers on the new paralleling switchboard, sized as shown on the drawings.
The paralleling switchboard shall feed the existing emergency distribution board in main electrical room, ME-2, and a new 3000A emergency distribution board located in the new main electrical room, ME-3. The contractor shall be required to furnish and install all new breakers on the new emergency distribution board in ME-3, sized as shown on the drawings.
In order to free up capacity on the existing Building 103 generator system, the emergency loads in ME-2 and the loads coming off of existing automatic transfer switch (ATS) QATS1001E will be fed from this new generator system.
The contractor shall be responsible for all power and controls for the generators and all of its mechanical and electrical components and equipment. The contractor shall be responsible for all fuel piping connections for the generators. This includes the piping from the 20,000 gallon fuel tank to the generator day tanks and to the generator sets themselves. The contractor shall be responsible for all electrical connections and terminations from the generator to the new 3000A paralleling switchboard (generator terminal strips, conductors, bus ducts, landings, etc.). The contractor shall be responsible for all the mechanical piping from the generator to the radiator. The contractor shall provide the battery charger panel, battery bank and all parts including the jumpers and cables. The contractor shall make all the necessary connections between the battery banks and the generators. The contractor shall provide all the necessary power and controls to the day tanks to provide fully functional fuel systems.
The contractor shall provide the required amount of coolant and all other fluids necessary for the generators to operate and function properly.
The contractor shall be responsible for all testing and commissioning of the new generators according to the drawings and specifications. The COR or designated representative will be witness to testing performed by the General Contractor (GC) in addition to the designated Commissioning Authority. The GC shall coordinate all testing and commissioning activities with the COR and the COR will coordinate with the AE as required per specifications.
The contractor shall provide all the necessary labor, materials, tools, equipment, testing and commissioning, and specialty services to expand and integrate the existing Building 103 Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system into the new paralleling generator system. The contractor shall re-program and commission the load-shed, load-add scheme and primary logic controller (PLC) in Building 103 to include the new paralleling switchboard and new generator system and the emergency loads it will be supporting. This programming shall adhere to priorities as identified by the VA engineering service, and shall fully integrate modifications into the emergency branch distribution systems for complete and usable systems. The contractor shall re-use and add program logic controllers as necessary to integrate the new generator system into the existing Building 103 SCADA system. After integration is complete, testing, re-programming, and re-commissioning of the entire SCADA system will be required to incorporate the re-balancing of the emergency loads (i.e. ATS loads) between the existing Building 103 generator system and the new generator system. The existing system utilizes programming code by Eaton Corporation.
The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, tools, and equipment to install two (2) 480V, 800A ATSs as required by drawings and specifications. Each ATS shall be: 4-pole, open transition, switched neutral, and with isolation bypass. Each ATS shall be equipped with accessories required for load-shed, load-add function programming and shall be equipped with a Power Manager. The contractor shall be responsible for providing, installing, and terminating all control signals and communications wiring between the VA network (for communications), ATSs, paralleling switchboard, and generators for a fully functional SCADA system as described above. The contractor shall fully test and commission the new ATSs.
- Normal Power Substation
The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, tools, and equipment to install a new normal power substation that will be located in ME-3 according to the drawings and specifications.

The 12kV switchgear shall be fed by Feeder-2 and Feeder-6 from the South Substation and shall be able to switch between either feeder for 12kV service. The contractor shall be required to furnish and install all new breakers on the 480V distribution switchboard, sized as shown on the drawings.
- Diesel Fuel System
The contractor shall provide all demolition, labor, materials, tools, equipment, and specialty services to construct and install a new diesel fuel system with a 20,000 gallon above-ground fuel tank and perform all of the associated electrical, mechanical, and piping work according to drawings and specifications. The contractor shall be responsible for all tests and commissioning of the fuel tank system.
The contractor shall provide all the demolition, labor, materials, tools, and equipment to perform all the underground utility work in support of the installation of the new above-ground fuel tank and fuel fill station as required on the drawings and specifications. This shall include the relocation and re-connection of any underground utilities and storm drain manholes.
The contractor shall be responsible for providing and installing all wiring (conduit and wires), software, and programming for the Master Control Panel to and from all fuel equipment (day tanks, 20,000 gallon fuel tank, fuel fill station) and its associated parts according to the drawings and specifications.
