This project is intended to satisfy the requirements identified in the Consent Decree in Appendix D as CD Project 2.01(7). This project is one in a series of projects that are being processed under County Code Section 2-8.2.12, entitled Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department Consent Decree and Capital Improvement Programs Acceleration Ordinance. In general, the project consists of the construction of new electrical substation buildings for substations 7A, 8A, 9A and 10A located within the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant (CDWWTP), located at 3989 Rickenbacker Causeway in Virginia Key, Florida. The scope of work includes, but is notlimited to, furnishing all materials, labor, and equipment necessary for new electrical substation building for Substations 7A, 8A, 9A and 10A. The substations provide power for the processes at the Oxygen Generation Plant 2 Building. The electrical improvements consist of removing the existing substation transformers within the existing building and installing new transformers and electrical gear within a new Substation Building. Demolition will include the removal and disposal of the existing substation transformers and equipment associated with existing substations 7A, 8A, 9A, 10A and the existing motor starter cubicle for Compressor No. 3. In addition, the existing 1,500 HP motor will be removed and turned over to the owner and replaced with a larger owner furnished motor.

Utilities to be provided includes a water service line to be provided to the new building for cooling tower operation. The walls of the new building will consist of concrete masonry unit blocks with concrete cast-in-place columns supporting the roof loads. The roof will consist of pre-cast concrete joists connected to the concrete columns. The roofing will consist of SBS modified bituminous membrane. The columns and floor slabs will carry the loads to grade beams and pile caps, which then transmit the loads to auger cast-in-place (ACIP) concrete piles, which form part of the building's foundation system. The new building will be designed to comply with sea level rise and storm surge design criteria for the CDWWTP which require all critical facilities to be placed at or above a finished floor elevation(FFE) of 20.9 NGVD. In addition, major portions of the work also includes: 1. Installation of new 15 KV feeder cables from Main Switchgear Building to the new substation transformers T-7A, T-8A, T-9A and T-10A that will be located in the new Substation Building 2. Installation of two (2) new, less-flammable, liquid filled, indoor transformers for substation 7A and 8A each rated at 13.2KV-2400/4160V, 2000KVA to replace the existing transformers. The transformers will be anchored to the concrete pads. 3. Installation of new 15 KV primary fused switch units for each new substation transformer 7A and 8A. 4. Installation of two (2) new 4160V solid state reduced voltage starters with required interlocks between each such that only one starter can be operational at given time. 5. Installation of a new 1750HP, 4160V compressor motor on Compressor No. 3. motor (to be Owner-furnished). 6. Installation of two (2) new, less-flammable, liquid filled, indoor transformers for substation 9A and 10A each rated at 13.2KV-277/480V, 1500KVA to replace the existing substation transformers. The transformers will be anchored to concrete pads. 7. Installation of a new 15 KV primary fused switch units for each new substation transformer 9A and 10A. 8. Installation of a new arc-resistant, double-ended,480V draw-out switchgear lineups with Main-Tie-Tie-Main configurations for Substations 9A & 10A. 9. Installation of a new 480V feeder cables from the new switchgear to MCC-4 and MCC-6 using the combination of existing ductbank/conduits and required duct bank extensions. 10. Installation of a new arc-resistant, double-ended, low voltage (480V), motor control center with Main-Tie-Tie-Main configuration to feed the 480V HVAC motor loads. 11. Installation of a new power panels, lighting transformers and lighting panels in the Switchgear Room to support building auxiliary loads. 12.
