Specifications include, but are not limited to: • This project will complete the Knight Science medium voltage feeder loop. The project will extend Feeders FDR5, FDR7 and Standby Feeder SBF3 from switches located at Streisinger/Huestis (installed in a previous phase, the East Science Loop project), to new switches at Pacific and then extended back to the central switchhouse (Central Power Station). • Feeders FDR5, FDR7 and Standby Feeder SBF3 will be extended both in existing tunnels and in new ductbanks. • Three new switches (one 6 and two 8 way) will be installed near the Pacific Building. • Work will involve underground utility work, including installing vaults below grade, utility/conduit pathways, and re-routing of existing underground utilities. • Pre-construction scope will include design review, verification and locating existing utilities, constructability, early procurement of long lead items, specifically electrical equipment, and construction cost estimating. It is assumed that the successful CM/GC will engage critical trade partners such as electrical and civil sub-contractors for pre-construction services. Very detailed coordination and logistics planning efforts will be critical in working around science buildings, heavy pedestrian and service vehicle traffic, and existing utilities. • It is the intention of the University, if the CMGC successfully performs the West Loop Phase from preconstruction services through warranty phase and at the University’s discretion, to Contract with the selected CMCG for additional utility phases and projects with the selected CMGC. This will ensure continuity from phase to phase along with the building of institutional knowledge.
