2. Nature and/or Description of the Action Being Processed: Project No. 583-22-106, Replace Electrical Panels & Expand Distribution will replace and expand the electrical distribution infrastructure serving the A-Wing of Building 1 (the main hospital tower). Generally, the work shall be required to include, but not be limited to the replacement and expansion of the secondary electrical distribution system serving A-Wing of Building 1 and the expansion and modification of the existing primary Medical Center campus electrical distribution system as required to support those improvements including work associated within Building 01 (A-Wing), Building 23, and adjacent exterior/campus utility areas as indicated in the contract drawings and specifications. The estimated cost of the items covered by this justification is $42,500.00. 3. Description of Supplies/Services Required to Meet the Agency’s Needs: The existing campus primary electrical distribution system utilizes Eaton medium-voltage switchgear and Eaton VCP-W vacuum circuit breakers. Due to the critical nature of the Medical Center electrical infrastructure and the extended lead times associated with replacement medium-voltage breakers, the Government requires an immediately available breaker for redundancy in case of an existing feeder breaker failure. The addition of this breaker to the acquisition will restore the system’s current redundancy that will be diminished by the expansion.
