- Description
- Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) to Siemens Energy, Inc., 1345 Ridgeland Parkway Suite 116 Alpharetta, GA 30004 for the design, equipment and installation required for replacement of medium voltage switchgear. The SATOC acquisition addresses the need of multiple projects requiring essentially the same work in multiple locations throughout the electrical power system. AEDC has the need to procure medium voltage switchgear that is reliable and safe. Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) is the latest technology that provides power without requiring personnel to be equipped with arc flash personal protective equipment (PPE) while operating or maintaining the GIS equipment. Hours of industry wide research, competitive bidding, and accepted maintenance and reliability practice have resulted in the conclusion that Siemens Type 8DA10 Gas Insulated Switchgear is the only OEM switchgear that confines each of the three phases of power in three separate compartments. This is a critical requirement from a safety standpoint and mitigates electrical fault severity to avoid costly shutdowns of the entire system. With the isolation of the phases a factory-trained Siemens employee can remove the damaged phase and replace it with the identical part from a spare cubicle, and return the cubicle to service in a short amount of time. In most cases this work can be completed with the remainder of the switchgear lineup still in service. If spares are available, a new enclosure could be installed from the spare cubicle but the entire lineup would be unavailable throughout the duration of the repair. Additionally, the unique mission that occurs at AEDC allows for only a narrow window for repairs and does not allow for new switchgear to be designed to fit the current system.
