Project Overview and Safety: General Information: The work required under this contract provides for the purchase and installation of a new operational backup generator and automatic transfer switch in the Pine Flat Dam tower, Fresno County, CA. Once the existing generator is removed from the tower, the Pine Flat Staff will accept and retain the Government's property. Work includes the materials and labor necessary to remove the existing 150kW generator from the generator room and install a new generator through the existing window (83" x 80") of the generator room located in the dam tower building. Due to the location of equipment, the Government anticipates that the removal and installation will require the contractor to use a crane, crane operator(s), and the removal and reinstallation of the 83" x 80" window. The new generator will be a minimum 150kW diesel engine-driven Tier III compliant generator with new automatic transfer switch capable of operating existing 480 VAC- three phase components. The new generator will be placed within the footprint of the current generator and connected to the existing fuel system, exhaust and ductwork. Once installed, the new backup generator shall be tested and adjusted for proper operation. Two sets of operator's and part's manuals are required. Contractor must be authorized by the manufacturer to install equipment, without voiding the manufacturer's warranties. Once the existing generator is removed from the tower, the Pine Flat Staff will accept and retain the Government's property. Minimum Specifications: 150kW rated generator unit with diesel engine wired for 277/480 VAC three phase, 60 Hz, U.S. EPA Tier III compliant. Automatic Transfer Switch rated 400 Amp, 3 Pole, 277/480 VAC three phase, 60 Hz, with 2-Wire Start Circuit. Five Year Extended Limited Warranty for Parts and Labor (Five Years Total).
