Additional repairs required were identified by ABB during the initial repair of paralleling switchgear and the report is on the last page. Scope. The scope of this contract is to provide recommended repairs for both of the generators at Building #1. This system is currently functioning with only one generator, leaving the facility vulnerable in the event of a power failure at this site. Key task is to restore full emergency backup power for the facility to facilitate repairs of the existing equipment. Key task is test emergency power system and verify it works as intended. Specific Tasks. Maintain emergency generator availability for the facility Maintain security of the generator/switchgear room during the entire project. Work on generators can only be performed on weekend with prior coordination with the VA. Work will need to be done on two separate weekends, one weekend per generator work. Provide required repairs for the associated paralleling switchgear system per diagnose reports from ABB which includes Saturday work. Work includes the following items as identified in the ABB repair report: Replace two damaged MFR13 and reverse power relay to new protective relay and all installation/testing for both generators. Programming changes required for these replacement relays to ensure proper system functionality. Door modification to support the installation and operation of the upgraded relays. Wiring modifications to accommodate the replaced relays. Changes to the existing ABB systems drawings for these replaced relays. The General Contractor (GC) must coordinate as needed with the VA COR for testing of the generator control panels. Two new control panels (one per generator) have been installed. One control panel has been tested and verified to function as intended. The control panel on the inoperable generator requires testing and verification to ensure proper functionality. GC must provide a load bank for testing of both Generator 1 and Generator 2 on this day. 125% of load bank required. GC/subcontractor for paralleling gear work must test paralleling both Generator 1 (1500kW, 3 PH, 4W, 480Y/277V) and Generator 2 (1500kW, 3 PH, 4W, 480Y/277V) and verify it works with the 125% load bank. GC and subcontractor for paralleling gear must change priority of generators to verify they come back online/and shed as designed. GC and subcontractor for paralleling gear must provide a complete testing of the emergency power system including both generators and paralleling switchgear after all repair work is completed and verify it works as intended.
