McGuire AFB is located in central New Jersey, 18 miles southeast of Trenton, 45 miles east of Philadelphia, and 80 miles south of New York City. McGuire AFB is home of the 305th Air Mobility Wing which has operational and administrative control over base activities. McGuire AFB encompasses approximately 3,598 acres and is bordered on the west, south and east by the Fort Dix Army reservation. There are 751 commercial type buildings and facilities on the installation. Power is provided by Jersey Central Power and Light (JCP&L) at 34.5 kilovolts (kV) through two main overhead feeder transmission lines to the JCP&L substation. Power is distributed throughout the base from a Base owned switching station adjacent to the JCP&L substation. Power is distributed from this switching station at 12.47. The 34.5 kV distribution line services the two, Base owned Substations. Both substations contain switches, breakers, cables and bus work. The 12.47 kV is also stepped down further to 4.16 kV for some sections of the base. Portions of the base are currently fed from two JCP&L feeders entering from Fort Dix. The primary distribution system consists of a three-phase, four-wire configuration rated at 5, 15, and 35 kV in a Conventional-Simple Radial Distribution arrangement. The overhead portions (typically on wood pole) total approximately 42,317 linear feet (lf), and the underground portions (in duct banks) total approximately 134,986 lf. The secondary system consists of single and three phase service equipment which includes; four 35 kV ? 12.47 kV power transformers, 179 pad mount transformers ranging from 25 to 3,000 kilovolt amperes (kVA), 66 Pole mount transformers ranging from 10 to 500 kVA, 308 utility poles, 258 manholes and handholes, and 1,152 street/parking lot and area light fixtures. Overhead feeders and associated components are typically over 50 years old and have reached or exceeded their design life. This requirement is unrestricted. All responsible sources may submit an offer, which shall be considered. Large businesses are required to submit a subcontracting plan with their offer.
