Description
642-22-104, 36C24426R0088, Upgrade Substation Building 2, Phase 1, PHL CMCVAMC Proposal Due Date: 11/20/2026 at 4:00pm EST. Email proposals to Kevin Rodgers at [email protected]. Corporal Michael J. Crescenz Medical Center (CMC VAMC) requires replacement of Electrical Substations 1 and 2 in order to increase electrical capacity to support future facility projects.
The existing substations are approximately 29 years old and require replacement to support current and future electrical demands. This project will replace Electrical Substations 1 and 2 with new 480/277V substations each containing a 1500 kVA transformer. A temporary 480/277V substation with a 1500 kVA transformer shall be installed to maintain electrical service to the facility during demolition and construction activities.
Upon completion of construction, the temporary substation shall remain installed as a spare substation for the facility. All work shall be phased to minimize service outages and maintain continuous operation of the medical center. Defined and issued bid documents (drawings and specifications) will serve as the basis of this construction project.
