Review the existing emergency / standby electrical system for the entire building. Records documents shall be provided but must be field verified. Evaluate the building for existing loads, as well as loads that will likely need to be added in the future per the Departmental Master Plan, to comply with applicable building codes. Determine the size, voltage, and other applicable ratings for the new generator. Generator ratings shall take into consideration likely future loads. Review existing generator room, and it’s components for compliance with current building codes. Identified deficiencies shall be corrected, as part of the Design, or a new location identified with all applicable considerations Meet with the University Department of Environmental Health and Safety to verify compliance with the University’s air quality permit. Dispersion modelling, if required, is outside of the Respondent’s scope of Work. University suggests to look at viability of a diesel generator, knowing the natural gas feed is inadequate and insufficient. Verify the structural suitability, as well as fire life safety of the location for the new generator. Respondent shall be responsible for the design of any necessary structural, and any other required modifications, including replacement of electrical transfer switches. Evaluate the existing generator distribution switchboard for compliance with building codes and suitability for continued use with the newly designed generator. Respondent shall specify a new switchboard, if required. Comply with the current applicable codes, University standards, DEHS requirements when completing the design. Include both University and FM Global Review in the design.
