provision of the City Standard Specifications conflicts with a provision in this

unclear, the City Manager for the City of Waco, or his designee, will determine which

provisions, specification or standard controls and his determination shall be final.

Submittermust agree to commence work on or before a date to be specified in a written "Notice to Proceed" of the City and to fully complete the project within the time stated in the contract documents. As it is impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages, if any, that may proximately result from a failure by Submitter to perform the service, should Submitter fail to complete the project within the calendar days specified in the contract, Submitter agrees to pay to City, or have withheld from monies due it, the amount stated in the contract documents as liquidated damages for each calendar day of delay or nonperformance. Any sums due and payable hereunder by the Submitter shall be payable, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages representing an estimate of delay damages likely to be sustained by the City, estimated at the time of executing this Contract. Execution of a contract for this Project shall constitute agreement by the City and Submitter that said amount is the minimum value of the costs and actual damage caused by the failure of the Submitterto complete the Project within the allotted time. A sum due as liquidated damages may be deducted from payments due the Contractor if such delay occurs.

The period of time reasonably necessary to rebuild or take other action necessary to resume performance shall be as determined by the agreement of the parties, which agreement shall be negotiated and arrived at in good faith. The Selected Firm shall notify the Contact Person or Contract Administrator of any matter covered above, the occurrence of which interferes or threatens to interfere with the performance of any of its


obligations under the bid. Upon such notice, the Selected Firm and the City shall consult and cooperate as to measures which may be taken to overcome the interference or as to alternative measures which may be undertaken by the parties with a view to the continued performance of the bid agreement.

(h) Right to Assurance: Whenever one party to this contract in good faith has reason to question the other party's intent to perform, the questioning party may demand the other party give written assurance of its intent to perform.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave

for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the

Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any

solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this



contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide

employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours

they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their

own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including

preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is

like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other

health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons

resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is

like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic

violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information

on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO

is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within

the scope of the classifications listed may be added after

award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses

(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

----------------------------------------------------------------

The body of each wage determination lists the classification

and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the

cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage

determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical

order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular

rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),

a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate

(weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed

in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or

""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were

prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:



PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of

the union which prevailed in the survey for this

classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198

indicates the local union number or district council number

where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,

005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing

the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the

most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,

2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate

changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing

this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that

no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and

the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average

rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that

classification. As this weighted average rate includes all

rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and

non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates

the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average

calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates

the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which

these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007

in the example, is an internal number used in producing the

wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion

date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a

new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate

that no single majority rate prevailed for those



classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the

classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010

08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union

average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in

the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage

determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date

for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of

each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current

negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is

based.

----------------------------------------------------------------

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can

be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on

a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests

for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour

Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted

because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the

Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial

contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal

process described here, initial contact should be with the



Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations

Wage and Hour Division

U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an

interested party (those affected by the action) can request

review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator

(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator




The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the

interested party's position and by any information (wage

payment data, project description, area practice material,

etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an

interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative

Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board




4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

END OF GENERAL DECISION

"

TEXAS SALES TAX EXEMPTION INFORMATION This information is being provided to assist contractors and is therefore general in nature. It is not a substitute for advice from the contractor’s attorney or accountant. Under the Texas Tax Code Section 151.309, the City of Waco is exempt the payment of sales tax. In addition, when the City contracts with a third party to make certain improvements to real property, purchases of materials/consumable items that are physically incorporated into that real property may also exempt from state and local sales tax. Items qualifying for this exemption must be used up entirely on a job for the City of Waco. To claim this exemption, a contractor who has a Texas Taxpayer Number (the number on their Texas Sales and Use Tax Permit number) can complete the Texas Sales and Use Tax Resale Certificate (front side of Form 01-339) and provide it to the vendor from whom the contractor is purchasing materials and supplies for use under a contract with the City of Waco. The form is available on the Texas Comptroller website at:

http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxforms/01-forms.html or

http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxforms/01-339.pdf

A copy of a blank form has been attached for your convenience. In completing the exemption form (01-339 front) when purchasing materials and supplies, a contractor will:

(1) List itself (the contractor) as the purchaser and complete required information; (2) Fill in the name and required information about the seller; (3) Describe the item being purchased or attached order or invoice – the only items included

must be items that will be entirely consumed or used in the project for the City of Waco – might include statement that purchase is related to contract with City of Waco, Texas, for Project {description, e.g., New Street sewer lien project};

(4) Describe the type of business activity generally engaged in by purchaser or type of items normally sold by the purchaser

Since the City of Waco is a governmental entity, the contract or purchase order with the City provides the necessary documentation that the materials are acquired for an exempt contract [See 34 TAC §3.291(c)(1)]. However, if requested, the City of Waco will provide to the contractor awarded the contract an executed exemption certification showing that the city is exempt from sales tax (Form 01-339 back). The state statutes and rules related to sales tax can be accessed from the Texas Comptroller website: http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/sales/ In addition, the Texas Comptroller’s office can be contacted at 1-800-252-555 for questions about Sales and Use Taxes. State statutes regarding sales tax can be found in Texas Tax Code Chapter 151 at: http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/TX/htm/TX.151.htm Rules related to sales tax in the Texas Administrative Code can be found at: http://info.sos.state.tx.us/pls/pub/readtac$ext.ViewTAC?tac_view=5&ti=34&pt=1&ch=3&sch=O&rl=Y

Texas Administrative Code Title 28 Section 110.110(c)(7) requires the following language to be contained in building and construction bid specifications and contracts:

Workers' Compensation Insurance CoverageA. Definitions:

Certificate of coverage ("certificate")- A copy of a certificate of insurance, a certificate of authority to self-insure issued by the commission, or a coverage agreement (TWCC-81, TWCC-82,TWCC-83, or TWCC-84), showing statutory workers' compensation insurance coverage for the person's or entity's employees providing services on a project, for the duration of the project.

Duration of the project - includes the time from the beginning of the work on the project until the contractor's/person's work on the project has been completed and accepted by the governmental entity.

Persons providing services on the project ("subcontractor" in §406.096) - includes all persons or entities performing all or part of the services the contractor has undertaken to perform on the project, regardless of whether that person contracted directly with the contractor and regardless of whether that person has employees. This includes, without limitation, independent contractors, subcontractors, leasing companies, motor carriers, owner-operators, employees of any such entity, or employees of any entity which furnishes persons to provide services on the project. "Services" include, without limitation, providing, hauling, or delivering equipment or materials, or providing labor, transportation, or other service related to a project. "Services" does not include activities unrelated to the project, such as food/beverage vendors, office supply deliveries, and delivery of portable toilets.B. The contractor shall provide coverage, based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts and filing of any coverage agreements, which meets the statutory requirements of Texas Labor Code, Section 401.011(44) for all employees of the contractor providing services on the project, for the duration of the project. C. The Contractor must provide a certificate of coverage to the governmental entity prior to being awarded the contract.D. If the coverage period shown on the contractor's current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project, the contractor must, prior to the end of the coverage period, file a new certificate of coverage with the governmental entity showing that coverage has been extended.E. The contractor shall obtain from each person providing services on a project, and provide to the governmental entity:

(1) a certificate of coverage, prior to that person beginning work on the project, so the governmental entity will have on file certificates of coverage showing coverage for all persons providing services on the project; and

(2) no later than seven days after receipt by the contractor, a new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project. F. The contractor shall retain all required certificates of coverage for the duration of the project and for one year thereafter.G. The contractor shall notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or personal delivery, within 10 days after the contractor knew or should have known, of any change that materially affects the provision of coverage of any person providing services on the project.

H. The contractor shall post on each project site a notice, in the text, form and manner prescribed by the Texas Workers' Compensation Commission, informing all persons providing services on the project that they are required to be covered, and stating how a person may verify coverage and report lack of coverage. I. The contractor shall contractually require each person with whom it contracts to provide services on a project, to:

(1) provide coverage, based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts and filing of any coverage agreements, which meets the statutory requirements of Texas Labor Code, Section 401.011(44) for all of its employees providing services on the project, for the duration of the project;

(2) provide to the contractor, prior to that person beginning work on the project, a certificate of coverage showing that coverage is being provided for all employees of the person providing services on the project, for the duration of the project;

(3) provide the contractor, prior to the end of the coverage period, a new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project;

(4) obtain from each other person with whom it contracts, and provide to the contractor:(a) a certificate of coverage, prior to the other person beginning work on the project; and(b) a new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, prior to the end of the

coverage period, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project; (5) retain all required certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the project and for one

year thereafter; (6) notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or personal delivery, within 10 days

after the person knew or should have known, of any change that materially affects the provision of coverage of any person providing services on the project; and

(7) contractually require each person with whom it contracts, to perform as required by paragraphs (1) - (7), with the certificates of coverage to be provided to the person for whom they are providing services.J. By signing this contract or providing or causing to be provided a certificate of coverage, the contractor is representing to the governmental entity that all employees of the contractor who will provide services on the project will be covered by workers' compensation coverage for the duration of the project, that the coverage will be based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts, and that all coverage agreements will be filed with the appropriate insurance carrier or, in the case of a self-insured, with the commission's Division of Self-Insurance Regulation. Providing false or misleading information may subject the contractor to administrative penalties, criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions.K. The contractor's failure to comply with any of these provisions is a breach of contract by the contractor which entitles the governmental entity to declare the contract void if the contractor does not remedy the breach within ten days after receipt of notice of breach from the governmental entity.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST QUESTIONNAIRE

[Form CIQ]Chapter 176 of the Texas Local Government Code requires vendors who wish to conduct business or be considered for business with a city to file a “conflict of interest questionnaire.” The Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) created the conflict of interest questionnaire (Form CIQ).

Who must complete and filed CIQ form?Every vendor doing business with the City or seeking to do business with the City must complete Box 1 and sign and date in Box 4. Whether or not a conflict exists determines the other information to include on the form.

Who is a vendor?The term “vendor” includes a partnership, corporation or other legal entities, including those performing professional services. Partnerships or corporations act through individuals, but it is the partnership or corporation that is doing business with or seeking to do business with the City.If the vendor seeking to do business with the City is a sole proprietorship, then just the name of the person who is the vendor is needed.

What triggers the requirement to file the Form CIQ? When a vendor (or an agent of the vendor) begins (1) contract discussions or negotiations with the city or (2) submits an application, quote, response to request for proposals or bids, or anything else that could result in an agreement (contract or purchase order) with the City, Form CIQ must be completed. Whether the vendor initiates the discussion or the City initiates the discussions, Form CIQ must be completed. The monetary amount or value of the contract/purchase does not matter. The contract or purchase may involve the sale or purchase of property, goods, or services with the City of Waco

When does a conflict requiring disclosure exist? What has to be revealed?A vendor shall file a completed conflict of interest questionnaire if the vendor has a business relationship with the City of Waco and the vendor:(1) has an employment or other business relationship with an officer of the City of Waco, or a

family member of an officer, that results in taxable income exceeding $2,500 during the 12 month period preceding the date a contract/purchase is executed or a contract/purchase is being considered; or

(2) has given an officer of the City of Waco, or a family member of an officer, one or more gifts with the aggregate value of more than $100 in the 12 month period preceding the date a contract/purchase is executed or a contract/purchase is being considered

(3) has a family relationship with an officer of the City of Waco.

What family relationships create a conflict?A “family member" is a person related to another person within the first degree by consanguinity (blood) or affinity (marriage), as described by Subchapter B, Chapter 573, Texas Government Code. The ending of a marriage by divorce or the death of a spouse ends relationships by affinity created by that marriage unless a child of that marriage is living, in which case the marriage is considered to continue as long as a child of that marriage lives.“Family relationship” means a relationship between a person and another person within the third degree by consanguinity or the second degree by affinity, as those terms are defined by Subchapter B, Chapter 573, Texas Government Code.

09/15/2015

Who are officers of the City of Waco?Officers are the members of the Waco City Council, the City Manager, and any agent or employee who exercises discretion in the planning, recommending, selecting, or contracting with a vendor. An agent may include engineers and architects, as well as others, who assist the City is making a decision on some contract or purchase.

When must a vendor file the conflict of interest questionnaire?No later than seven days after the date the vendor: (a) begins contract discussions or negotiations with the city, or (b) submits an application or response to a request for proposals or bids, correspondence, or another writing related to a potential agreement with a city, or (c) becomes aware of an employment or other business relationship with an officer or family member of the officer that the vendor (i) has made one or more gifts of more than $100 or (ii) has a family relationship with.

How do I go about filling out the Conflict of Interest Questionnaire form? Section 1: Fill in the full name of the person or company who is trying to do business with the City. If

the “person” is a corporation, partnership, etc., then it is the name of that corporation, partnership, etc., that is required on Form CIQ. If a sole proprietorship, then just the name of the individual is needed. If the “person” is an individual acting as an agent for some other person or a company,then it is the agent’s name. Any time an agent is involved, two FORM CIQs must be completed and submitted: one for the agent, and one for the person or company that the agent acted for. The agent’s FORM CIQ must note the vendor that the agent acted for.

Section 2: Check box if the form is an update to a form previously completed. Updates are required by the 7th business day after an event that makes a statement in a previously filed questionnaire incomplete or inaccurate. Updates are also required by September 1 of each year in which the person submits a proposal, bid or response to the City of Waco or begins contract discussions or negotiations with the City.

Section 3: Complete by listing the name of the City of Waco officer with whom there is an affiliation to or business relationship and check the “Yes” or “No” box in Section 3 A, B, or C. If there is more than one City officer with whom there is an affiliation or business relationship, a separate form should be completed for each officer.

3.A: State whether the officer named on the form receives or is likely to receive taxable income, other than investment income, from the vendor filing the questionnaire.

3.03 MEDIUM VOLTAGE SHIELDED CABLE

A. Factory Testing Standards

1. Perform factory tests to or better than AEIC standards, and record test data to: a. Demonstrate dielectric strength of cable construction. b. Demonstrate insulation coordination with standard system levels. c. Demonstrate compatibility of cable components. d. Demonstrate electrical stability of conducting insulation shield. e. Demonstrate that cable is not subject to dielectric degradation caused by

synergistic effects or voltage stress, temperature, water immersion and time. f. Assure cable has suitable deformation resistance at emergency operating

temperatures. 2. The Owner may elect to witness any tests or make inspection of the cable during the

process of manufacturer, except for those processes of a confidential nature. 3. Do not ship cable unless all required tests have been completed and the results of

tests show compliance with all requirements of these specifications. 4. Keep results of all tests listed in this specification on file by the vendor and available

upon request. Furnish a certificate of compliance stating that all cable tested meets the test requirements. Clearly identify all test reports with material identification numbers to easily trace to the exact reel number.

B. Inspect exposed cable sections for physical damage. Verify that cable is connected

according to drawings and that shield grounding, cable support and terminations are properly installed.

C. Perform DC high potential test of each conductor, with other conductors grounded, in accordance with NEMA WC8. Apply test voltage in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations to conductors in at least eight equal increments to maximum test voltage. Record leakage current at each increment, allowing for charging current decay. Hold maximum test voltage for ten minutes.

D. Record results of test in tabular form and in plots of current versus voltage for incremental voltage steps and current versus time (30 second intervals) at maximum voltage.

E. Replace all feeders which do not meet or exceed values recommended by manufacturer or 5 to 10 microamps leakage current per 1,000 feet, per phase at 37,500 volts DC, ends disconnected from switchgear.

F. There is no industry standard which specifies as a "test procedure." Acceptable procedures, although varying slightly in technique, have more or less been standardized as either a "withstand test" or a "time-leakage current test."

G. Before performing any DC overpotential tests, a review of the following points should be made:

1. All connected equipment must be disconnected from the test circuit, i.e., remove pothead taps, disconnect transformers, switch taps, motors, circuit breakers, etc. This will preclude damage to such equipment and will prevent test interruptions due to flashovers and/or trip-outs resulting from excessive leakage current.

2. Establish adequate clearance between the circuit test ends and ground and to other equipment not under test.

3. Ground all circuit conductors not under test with all cable shields including nearby equipment.

4. Consult termination manufacturer's for maximum test voltage recommendations and time limitations.

H. The direct current test voltage may be applied either slowly and continuously or in

predetermined steps to the maximum prescribed value as accorded in applicable specifications.

1. Continuous Method: Apply test voltage at an approximate rise rate of 1 kV per second or 75 percent of the rated current output at the equipment whichever is less. With some DC equipment, it will be impossible to reach the maximum test voltage within a specific time due to the lack of sufficient charging current.

2. Step Method: Apply test voltage slowly in 5 to 7 increments of equal value, where feasible, to the maximum specified level. Allow sufficient time at each step for the leakage current to stabilize. Normally this requires only a few seconds unless cable circuits of high capacitance are involved. Record leakage current at each step.

I. Maintain the test voltage at the prescribed value for the time designated in applicable

specifications. The following times are usually considered adequate:

1. Acceptance Testing: After installation and before the cable is placed in regular service, the specified test voltage shall be applied for 15 consecutive minutes.

2. Proof Testing: At any time during the period of guarantee, the cable circuit may be removed from service and tested at a reduced voltage (normally 65 percent of the original acceptance value) for five consecutive minutes.

3. Record the leakage current, in microamperes, at one minute intervals for the duration of the test time involved.

J. At the end of the test period, return the test set voltage control to zero. Allow the

residual voltage on the circuit to decay to at least 20 percent of the test value before applying manual grounds. CAUTION: It should be recognized that DC charges on cable can build up to potentially dangerous levels if grounds are removed too quickly. Maintain solid grounds on the cable for four times the duration of the test whenever possible. On exceptionally long cable lengths, it may be necessary to increase the grounding time and might also be advantageous to maintain these grounds while reconnecting circuit components.

2. Power interconnections shall be silver-plated copper bus bar. The only field installed power connections shall be at the service and load terminals of the bypass-isolation switch. All control inter-wiring shall be provided with disconnect plugs.

3. Separate bypass and isolation handles shall be utilized to provide clear distinction between the functions. Handles shall be permanently affixed and operable without opening the enclosure door. Designs requiring insertion of loose operating handles or opening of the enclosure door to operate are not acceptable.

4. Bypass to the load-carrying source shall be accomplished with no interruption of power to the load (make before break contacts). Designs which disconnect the load when bypassing are not acceptable. The bypass handle shall have three operating modes: "Bypass to Normal," "Automatic," and "Bypass to Emergency." The operating speed of the bypass contacts shall be the same as the associated transfer switch and shall be independent of the speed at which the manual handle is operated. In the "Automatic" mode, the bypass contacts shall be out of the power circuit so that they will not be subjected to fault currents to which the system may be subjected.

5. The isolation handle shall provide three operating modes: "Closed," "Test," and "Open." The "Test" mode shall permit testing of the entire emergency power system, including the automatic transfer switch with no interruption of power to the load. The "Open" mode shall completely isolate the automatic transfer switch from all source and load power conductors. When in the "Open" mode, it shall be possible to completely withdraw the automatic transfer switch for inspection or maintenance to conform to code requirements without removal of power conductors or the use of any tools.

6. When the isolation switch is in the "Test" or "Open" mode, the bypass switch shall function as a manual transfer switch.

7. Designs requiring operation of key interlocks for bypass isolation or ATS(s) which cannot be completely withdrawn when isolated are not acceptable.

L. Enclosure: Type 1.

2.04 ACCESSORIES

A. Indicating Lights and Controllable Display with Keypad: Mount in cover of enclosure to indicate normal source available, alternate source available, switch position. A four line, 20 character LCD display and dynamic 4 button keypad shall be an integral part of the controller for viewing all available data and setting desired operational parameters.

B. Operational parameters shall also be available for viewing and limited control through the communications interface port. The following parameters shall only be adjustable via a password protected programming on the controller (dip switches shall not be acceptable): 1. Nominal line voltage and frequency 2. Single or three phase sensing 3. Operating parameter protection 4. Transfer operating mode configuration (Open transition, Closed transition, or

Delayed transition)

C. Test Switch: Mount in cover of enclosure to simulate failure of normal source.

D. Return to Normal Switch: Mount in cover of enclosure to initiate manual transfer from alternate to normal source.

E. Auxiliary Contacts: One normally open; one normally closed for: transfer switch position, utility available and generator available.

F. Normal Source Monitor: Monitor each line of normal source voltage and frequency; initiate transfer when voltage drops below 85 percent or frequency varies more than 5 hertz from rated nominal value.

G. Alternate Source Monitor: Monitor alternate source voltage and frequency; inhibit

transfer when voltage is below 85 percent or frequency varies more than 5 hertz from rated nominal voltage.

H. Provide a power monitoring system to measure (as a minimum) voltage, current, kW,

kVAR and power factor. Provide with communication option for remote access.

I. Provide capability for remote control by the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT), through the Airfield Lighting Control and Monitoring System.

J. Use switchgear class wiring.

K. Provide maintenance bypass per the design drawings.

L. Provide monitoring, microprocessor shop drawing (MI Rated).

M. The generator controller shall be capable of performing the following:

1. The controller shall be capable of detecting a single phasing condition of a source,

even though a voltage may be regenerated by the load. This condition shall be considered a failed source.

2. Time delays: Time delay setting shall be adjustable by the user as follows: a. 0 to 10 seconds to override momentary normal source outages and delay all

transfer and engine starting signals. b. 0 to 60 minutes, for controlled timing of transfer of loads to emergency c. 0 to 60 minutes on re-transfer to normal: This delay is automatically bypassed if

the emergency source fails and the normal source is acceptable. d. 0 to 60 minutes for shut down of engine generator for cool down e. A time delay activated output signal shall also be provided to drive external

relay(s) for selective load disconnect control. The controller shall be capable of controlling a maximum of 9 individual output time

f. delays to step loads on after a transfer occurs. Each output may be individually programmed for their own time delay of up to 60 minutes. Each sequence shall be independently programmed for

g. transferring from normal to emergency and transferring from emergency to normal.

h. The controller shall also include the following built-in time delays for the following operations: 1) 0 to 60 minute time delay on failure to acquire the acceptable electrical

parameters from the emergency source

2) 0 to 60 minute time delay for a failure to synchronize on an in-phase operation.

3) 60 minute time delay for the load disconnect position for delayed transition operation.

3. The controller shall provide an internal engine exerciser allowing the user to program different exercise routines based on a calendar mode. For each routine, the user shall be able to: a. Enable or disable the routine b. Enable or disable transfer of the load during routine. c. Set the start time, time of day, day of week, week of month (1 st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,

alternate or every) d. Set the duration of the run. e. At the end of the specified loaded exercise duration the switch shall transfer the

load back to normal and run the generator for the specified cool down period. All loaded exercises shall be immediately ended and retransfer shall occur if the standby source fails. The next exercise period shall be displayed on the main screen with the type of exercise, time and date. The type of exercise and the time remaining shall be display when the exercise is active. It shall be possible of ending the exercise event with a single button push.

4. Self Diagnostics - The controller shall contain a diagnostic screen for the purpose of detecting system errors. This screen shall provide information on the status input signals to the controller which may be preventing load transfer commands from being completed.

5. Communications Interface - The controller shall be capable of interfacing, through a standard communications with a network of transfer switches and generators. It shall be able to be connected via an RS-485 serial communication (up to 4000 ft. direct connect or multi-drop configuration), an Ethernet connectivity (over standard 10 base T Ethernet networks utilizing a RJ-45 port or remotely utilizing a dial-up modem). This module shall allow for seamless integration of existing or new communication transfer devices and generators. Monitoring software shall allow for the viewing, control and setup of parameters of the genset and transfer switch network through a standard personal computer utilizing current Microsoft operating systems. Separate and specific transfer switch software interfaces shall not be acceptable.

6. The transfer switch shall also be able to interface to 3rd party applications using Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP open standard protocols utilizing Modbus register maps. Proprietary protocols shall not be acceptable.
