Specific requirements of the job are as follows: 1. Replacing all of the strain bus conductors in the switchyard; 2. Replacing all strain and stand-off insulators inside the switchyard with porcelain insulators that meet the existing design BIL in each switchyard section; 3. Installing Government-provided SF6 gas-insulated circuit breaker replacements for all of the oil-filled 115-kV and 230-kV circuit breakers; 4. Installing two new concrete foundations to support two of the new SF6 breakers; 5. Replacing four (4) 115-kV motor-operated disconnects (MODs) with Government-furnished 115-kV circuit breakers; 6. Replacing six (6) bus-sectionalizing MODs with new Government-furnished disconnect switches; 7. Updating existing relay panel wiring per the revised breaker control scheme; 8. Adding fiber from each new circuit breaker to the relay panels located in the Powerhouse; 9.

Reconfiguring the autotransformer bus connections such that autotransformer F serves the main bus and autotransformer E serves the auxiliary bus; 11. Replacing all of the disconnect switches with new Government-furnished switches while reusing structural steel; 12.
