Elec Infr:� Provide new communication cable U-trenches from the existing U-trench system over to the existing gravel pads for the assets.� The project will also provide a connection point at the 4,160 V MTS-4 with a medium-voltage isolation switch to a 200 kVA transformer and disconnect for a 208/120-volt, three-phase, 800-amp service for the future HTT-M project provided (by others), a 208/120-volt, three-phase, 200-amp service to the shelter pad, and two 120-volt, single-phase, 15-amp circuits.� One 15-amp circuit will be for the shelter pad and one 15-amp circuit will be for the trailer pad.� The new services will all be 60 Hz.� The new communication U-trench will be routed from the Shelter and Trailer pads on the west side of the road, then transition under the road in duct bank, while maintaining power and communication separation, and then revert back to U-trench and continue on east of the road to intercept existing U-trench infrastructure.� All new power will be run underground in existing or new U-trenches. The new U-trench for communication support shall tie into the existing U-trench that has access to the CCS Building.� Provide designs for U-trenches, conduit sizing and lengths to meet facility needs and above-ground weatherproof enclosures.� The design effort will include electric power distribution cables and equipment, trenching/conduits, and other infrastructure and structural support as required. HTT-M Pad:� New construction at the Shariki Communication Site (SCS) supporting the Hardened Transportable Terminal-MDA (HTT-M) and another MDA asset.� Install cast-in-place concrete pad to support weight distributions of up to 67,860 lbs. to accommodate the communications shelters of the HTT-M.� Pad dimensions are approx. 667 SY (6000 SF). New fuel lines and infrastructure will be installed to support the generators.� Supporting facilities include new trenching and conduit to the pads for electrical and communications and includes all required civil site prep work. Fuel Line:� Install a fuel piping system to supply fuel to (2) generators powering the asset during their use in the Shariki Short-Term Solution.� Currently there is no fuel supply to the location of the generators requiring manual fuel fill.� The generators in need of fuel supply via fuel lines, are MEP- 809A generators.� There is an existing fuel distribution system onsite at SCS, which has available manifold connection points for the new generator fuel lines.� Connect new fuel lines to the existing fuel distribution system.� Route the new lines around existing structures and under the existing roadway.� Install a below grade connection point for each generator adjacent to the electrical generator gravel pad.� A fuel hose will then need to be installed for each generator to carry the fuel from the stub up adjacent to the gravel pad, to the generators.
