GRSC Mechanical Upgrades

The University of South Carolina is seeking bids for the GRSC Mechanical Upgrades project. The project involves retrofitting an existing automatic transfer switch with a new switch and providing a temporary portable generator set to power the transfer switch's load while it is being retrofitted. The contractor will be responsible for procuring the generator set and associated power cabling, as well as providing the services of a factory-certified generator technician to ensure continuous operation of the generator set. The project also includes replacing the existing transfer switch with a new one and reconnecting existing wires and cables to the new transfer switch. • The project requires the contractor to provide a 800 kW (minimum) diesel-fired generator set and associated 1000-amp rated power cabling. • The contractor must ensure that the generator set is operated continuously while the transfer switch is being retrofitted. • The contractor must also provide mechanical lugs on the new transfer switch to terminate cables. • The project includes testing of the transfer switch with the existing building generator set and providing owner training for operation and maintenance of the transfer switch.
