Specifications include, but are not limited to: Task 1.0 – Data Collection and Analysis: Selected firm will be tasked to request all data needed in order to conduct the project objectives. • Attend a project kick-off meeting with the Owner. • Conduct a site visit with Owner's operations staff. • Data collection may include: property survey, geotechnical investigation, standard specifications, federal, state, and local site requirements. Task 2.0 - Review and update the following BPUB specifications: The scope of work includes but is not limited to review, update, and seal specifications for procuring major equipment/materials/contractors. Where the estimated value of equipment exceeds $50,000, Engineer would prepare a set of Bidding Documents, respond to vendor questions, review manufacturer’s technical proposals, and provide a recommendation for contract(s) award. Specifications would conform to BPUB requirements and draw from previous BPUB procurement documents of similar equipment. Engineer must follow the Texas Local Government Code for all procurement processes. Provide the following specifications as required for the new 56 MVA distribution substation “Ocelot Substation”: • Geotechnical Investigation • Topographical Survey • Cinder Block Concrete Masonry Control Building • Foundations • Power Transformers • 138kV Circuit Switcher • Low Voltage Disconnect Switches • 15kV Metal-Clad Switchgear (13-cubicle) • Distribution Protection Relay panels • SCADA equipment & panels • Battery Bank and Battery Charger • Erection Construction & Materials Package Task 3.0- Engineering Design for the new 56 MVA distribution substation “Ocelot Substation”: 1) The installation of two 138 KV - 12.47Y/7.2 KV 15/20/25/28 MVA power transformers, two circuit switchers, two switchgear lineups, high bus (as required), and associated material. Switchgear lineup will include two (2)15 KV main breakers, one (1) tie-breaker, eight (8) feeder breakers (four at each line up), and two (2) station services. 2) The installation of one cinder block concrete masonry control building for housing new relay panels, battery bank/battery charger, AC/DC panels, distribution ATS, restroom, AC & HVAC unit, and fiber communication patch. Including MEP and structural engineering, ADA, landscaping/irrigation, drainage, detention pond, site plan, in accordance with Federal, State, or local codes. 3) Electrical Engineering: Substation layout, section views, material list, grounding calculations, bus span calculations, conduit and cable layout, ground grid calculations, layout and grounding details, capacitor banks calculations, surge protection calculations, and station service requirements. 4) Structural Engineering: Provide structural engineering. Review and approve steel structure design drawings and specifications provided by selected vendor. 5) Civil Engineering: Site grading drawings. Foundation & oil containment drawings, calculations, and details. The worst-case soil condition would be used to design the typical foundations for bus support, switch support, circuit switch, lighting mast, power transformer, switchgear, control house, and breakers. 6) Relay Protection and Control Engineering: transformer protection, 15 KV Feeder protection, 15 KV main breaker protection, 15 KV tie-breaker protection, 15 KV bus protection, and 138 KV breaker failure protection. Panel layout, schematics, wiring diagrams, equipment connection diagrams, AC/DC panel layout, SCADA, RTU, and communications details. Line protection provided by others, but will require review and coordination. 7) Distribution Relay Settings: Prepare and provide relay settings files associated with the Relay Protection and Control Engineering items above. 8) ERCOT Metering Engineering: Review neighbor utility metering plans, and coordinate the installation to allow BPUB access to meted data, including SCADA engineering to allow BPUB Energy Control Center to view live meter data. 9) SCADA Engineering: Review/update/provide SCADA engineering including, SCADA panels, equipment specifications, equipment interfaces, and integration. 10) Provide testing and commissioning specifications, testing plan, and complete station acceptance tests and provide the results. Assist with the testing and commissioning contractor procurement process including bid evaluations and responding to vendor questions. 11) The selected firm will also provide weekly/monthly project progress reports and project Gantt Chart, and provide “As-Built” drawings after the project is concluded. Complete all drafting and file delivery within 3-months of receipt of annotated field drawings.
