CIVIL BASIS OF DESIGN

1. Scope of Work/Basis of Design

A. Design Concept

Federal Correctional Institution Three Rivers is located south of US Highway 72 in Three Rivers, TX. The existing FCI Three Rivers project site is comprised of an existing Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) that houses adult male offenders at a low security level, and a Satellite Camp (SCP), that houses adult male offenders at a medium security level. The project includes replacement of the backup generators and installation of B loop wiring as original design or the electrical distribution system in accordance with the FBOP technical design guidelines. Site development includes the installation of three new generators at Building N, within the SCP and a secondary electrical power loop with connections to new transformers and switches within the FCI and SCP. Subsequent improvements include trench ground surface restoration in landscape and pavement areas and electrical utility pads for the new generators, transformers and switches.
