Site work and renovation of an educational facility in Nacogdoches, Texas. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

The campus has three (3) main high voltage breakers in the substation labeled #2, #3 and #4. The underground wire coming from the main circuit breaker #4 in the substation to the first (1st) switching point on campus behind the East College Dining Hall (E6 on campus made provided in Exhibit A) has shorted out and needs to be replaced. The distance between the main breaker #4 in the substation to the first (1st) switching point behind the East College Dining Hall is 800 feet in length. Stephen F. Austin State University is seeking bids for electrical repair work to substation located on the campus. (Due to the fact that the #4 main circuit has a short in the wire at the first (1st) switching point we have temporarily had to tie #4 circuit to #2 circuit to back feed power to the campus.) Provide ALL materials, equipment, tools, labor, supervision and insurance to pull out three (3) damaged 800 feet in length 1000 KCMIL aluminum high voltage conductors and replace them with new 1000 KCMIL aluminum conductors. We need the contractor to make all high voltage connections in the first (1 st) switch behind the East College Dining Hall and in the substation to main circuit breaker #4. Once this is completed SFASU's electric shop will be able to switch the high voltage back around campus and assume normal operations on all three (3) breakers.
