UNC-Chapel Hill

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is soliciting submittals from firms interested in providing design services for switch gear upgrades to enhance the University's ability to manage unplanned electrical distribution outages amongst Cameron Avenue, Manning, and South stations. This upgrade will allow the University to restore power more quickly and improve the resiliency across a growing campus. The project includes: • Design of new ductbank totaling approximately 16,500 feet • Switchgear and smart protective relays that communicate with the Electrical Distribution Systems SCADA system • Replacement of two General Electric 15 kV Powervac Vacuum Switchgears with two Arc Flash Resistant, 15 kV, 3000 Amp continuous, and 40 kA interrupting rating Switchgears located at the Cameron Substation
