Fluor - GJCC is soliciting bid proposals to obtain the service of a licensed design/build electrical contractor to provide and install an additional standby (non-emergency) Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) near the existing emergency ATS located in Building #2 electrical room. The electrical contractor will be expected to: size the ATS and protect the new cabling in accordance with NEC; use EMT conduit or PVC if run underground; provide a new 100A standby panel and connect the freezer and refrigerator to the panel; and set the existing emergency ATS adjustable time delay setting to transfer to the alternate source within 10 seconds upon loss of normal power source (the new standby ATS adjustable time delay settings should be set to provide sequenced load transfer to the alternate source to minimize the starting kVA capacity requirements of the generator and unnecessary stress on the refrigeration compressors). Additionally connect the existing trickle charger to the generator with automatic load sensing and adjustment.
