This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate action was needed to prevent any disruption in University services.

Load Center 1 was being tested and it was discovered that the 15kV standby line at 921 failed. The concern is that currently only the normal line feeds the two switches, which feed the motor control centers that supply power to the boilers that supply steam to campus, compressors that supply air to campus along with equipment that provide water treatment for the boilers. If that line fails it would cause catastrophic issues for the campus along with the hospitals. CPL will pump down and inspect five (5) electrical manholes to determine route of the failed feeder. They will then remove approximately 700ft of existing15kv cable between building 921 medium voltage switch and load center. They will install the cables (3) 15kv cable terminations on transformer in building 921, (6) 15kv cable terminations in medium voltage switchgear in building 921, (3) 15kv cable terminations in load center, (3) sets 15kv cable splices in manholes, and new cable racks in manholes and load center basement as needed. After all installed CPL will rack, label and fire-tape new cable in five (5) manholes and basement of load center. Very-low-frequency (VLF) Acceptance Test new cables. Report available upon completion. Finally perform a maintenance test one (1) 1500kva oil-filled station type transformer per InterNational Electrical Testing Association (NETA) standards. Reports available upon completion.
