Performance Work Statement Electrical Testing and Maintenance 1.Introduction: A.This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the requirements for the phase one, phase two, and phase three maintenance, inspection, testing, and/or calibration of the White River Junction VA Medical Center Electrical Power Distribution System and all of its components at the White River Junction VA Medical Center. These work items are referenced as "Maintenance and Testing" in this document, hereafter. B.This SOW describes the requirements for the Qualified Electrical Contract Professionals - known as "Contractors" in this document, hereafter. Contractors who are contracted by VA Medical Center to perform maintenance and testing of the Electrical Power Distribution System, and all of its components shall meet all requirements stated in Section 2 of this SOW. C.The White River Junction VAMC consists of approximately 23 significant buildings and 502,000 square feet. We receive service from the local electrical utility (Green Mountain Power) at 12,470 volts. We have a medium voltage underground distribution loop around the campus with radial feed and radial taps supplying mostly pad mounted transformers. Utilization voltage is three phase 480/277 and 208/120. We expect to divide the electrical testing and maintenance work into three phases. In general the work consists of clean, tighten, lubricate, inspect, test and calibrate, and Infra-Red (IR) test. Including low voltage power circuit breakers, primary switches, automatic transfer switches; transformers, panelboards including MCCB's and LVB's, medium voltage circuit breakers, protective relays, pad mounted medium voltage switches, and fault current indicators. Also inspection and IR of 16 medium voltage manholes. Work shall not include oil samples, testing of emergency generators engines and components. D.This SOW describes the requirements to complete phase one, phase two, and phase three of maintenance and testing and preparation of reports. 2.Qualifications of Contractors: A.Contractors shall be experienced Electrical Contractors, having properly trained and licensed permanent staff required to perform the proposed work. Electrical Contracting (i.e. the construction, repair, testing and maintenance of industrial and commercial electrical distribution systems) shall be the primary interest/specialty of the Contractor's business. B.Contractors shall be certified by the International Electrical Testing Association (NETA) or equivalent certifying organization acceptable to the VA as Certified Technicians with each employee having completed the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) approved 10-hour construction safety training. C.Contractors shall have technical training and demonstrable track records of working experience in maintenance, inspection, and testing of the Electrical Power Distribution Systems and related components in healthcare, industrial, educational, and commercial facilities for a minimum of five (5) continuous years. Electrical components on which the Contractors have experience shall include, but not be limited to, switchboards & switchgear (low and medium voltage); low voltage controls; emergency and standby generators; automatic transfer switches, wiring, transformers, meters, breakers and other electrical appurtenances. D.Contractors shall have safety trainings - either on-the-job or class-room type - in electrical safety outlined in the OSHA Standard 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910 Subpart S - Electrical, and the NFPA 70E - Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. Training certification shall be provided indicating each technician is a Qualified Person as defined by NFPA 70E. Training certifications shall be submitted to the VA Contracting Officer prior to work. If no training certifications are available, the contractor' Employer shall certify that he/she has met this requirement in writing, and submit it to the VA Contracting Officer for review and approval prior to work.
