Description
NASA/ARC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for construction of NASA Advanced Supercomputing Facility N258 Electrical Supply Reliability Improvement Project Phases IB, II and III. The work to be performed under this contract will consist of providing the labor, equipment, and materials to install an infrastructure, and of providing the design, labor, equipment, and materials for one or more Rotary Uninterruptible Power Supply (RUPS) units complete with switchgear and auxiliary systems, housed in outdoor enclosures. All common equipment must be capable of accommodating a future complement of up to four (4) RUPS units operating in parallel. This is comprised of designing and providing the switchgear and ancillary equipment in an outdoor enclosure; ramps, stairs and concrete fill pads; removal of existing cables; and installation of both GFE and Contractor furnished cables. Provide all RUPS switchgear needed to support one (1) to four (4) RUPS units, auxiliary transformer, lighting panel, fire alarm panel, transceiver, monitoring equipment, batteries, etc. which are housed in a common outdoor enclosure. The RUPS switchgear enclosure shall be sized for the full complement of auxiliary panels for four (4) RUPS units. Install GFE protective relays and power meters in the new RUPS switchgear. Demolish existing feeders between manhole MHE219 and Building N258 13.8 kV switchgear. Provide medium voltage cables in existing underground ducts between the existing feeder system at SW610 and the new RUPS switchgear. Provide medium voltage cables in existing underground ducts between the new RUPS switchgear and the existing N258 13.8 kV switchgear. Install GFE medium voltage and ground cables in existing underground ducts between the existing Substation N225B System D switchgear and the new RUPS switchgear. [GFE quantities are less than the required lengths.] Provide additional lengths of medium voltage and ground cables in existing underground ducts between the existing Substation N225B System D switchgear and the new RUPS switchgear.
