- The Bureau of Reclamation has a requirement to furnish and install a diesel driven engine-generator set sized to furnish emergency power to all essential equipment in the Parker Power plant, California. The plant is located on the Colorado River between Lake Havasu City, Arizona and Parker, Arizona, and is positioned on the California side of the river. The emergency generator equipment shall include all controls necessary to automatically start up and establish normal speed and voltage if normal station service power is lost. The generating unit shall operate in conjunction with an Automatic Transfer Switch. The Automatic Transfer Switch shall include all controls necessary to automatically transfer from the normal power source to the emergency power source. The contractor will be required to furnish all labor, equipment, materials and incidentals necessary to design, provide and install all required components. The principal components of work required include the following: 1. Furnish Equipment Installation Drawings that include the structural details and design of the concrete foundation for the equipment; the equipment location and anchoring systems. 2. Design and install the concrete equipment foundation necessary to support the emergency generator and associated equipment static and dynamic loads. The foundation shall be designed to support the engine-generator set, its 500 gallon fuel tank, and the load stabilizing module. The foundation shall be designed with a built-in fuel containment system sufficient to contain any oil spill from the generator, 500 gallons of fuel, and shall be oversized by an additional 20% to allow for heavy rain falls that may occur during an oil/fuel spill. The total capacity of the fuel containment system shall be 600 gallons. 3. The Contractor shall furnish complete design drawings for both the mechanical and electrical installations of the new equipment. 4. Furnish and install the new engine-generator set and the load stabilizing module at the location of the new foundation on top of the dam. The engine-generator set shall be installed with an enclosure that is suitable for outdoor application to protect the equipment from exposure to the sun and inclement weather. 5. Furnish, install, and route the power cables from the new engine-generator set through the existing cable duct located at the top of the dam. 6. Terminate the power cables from the newly installed engine-generator set at the transfer switch that will be located on the generator floor inside the power plant. 7. Furnish and install an appropriately sized 480VAC Automatic Transfer Switch that shall accommodate the essential power requirement loads. 8. The contractor shall furnish all labor and materials to complete the installation, testing and commissioning of the engine-generator set, automatic transfer switch, and load stabilizing module. 9. The engine-generator set, automatic transfer switch and load stabilizing module shall have a name plate showing the manufacturer's name, equipment type (such as model number or specification number), kW rating, voltage, frequency, serial number, date of manufacture, and other pertinent data. 10. The contractor shall prepare a step-by-step commissioning plan to test all control operations and protective devices. The commissioning plan shall include a full functional test of the system involving a contractor supplied load bank to simulate loading of the generator. 11. The contractor shall furnish a list of recommended spare parts for the engine-generator set, the automatic transfer switch, and the load stabilizing module. 12. The contractor shall furnish Owner's Manuals, User's Guides, Operations and Maintenance Manuals for all the equipment supplied. 13. The contractor shall furnish an agenda and course materials for one 6-hour instructor led training class which outlines time slots for classroom, equipment walk through, and hands-on training. 14. The contractor shall furnish complete as-built drawings of the concrete foundation including the anchoring systems and the fuel containment system, and all installed mechanical and electrical equipment and other items of work completed and installed under this contract.
