Provide and install one NEMA 4X stainless-steel hinged gasketed pull box to intercept with four existing, abandoned 2" Aluminum conduits. Note that the charging station manufacturer calls for one 3" conduit, however two of the existing 2" conduits will be used instead. 2. Provide and install approximately 140' x 2 runs of 2" PVC-coated Rigid Steel conduit from the new NEMA 4X pull box adjacent to the proposed EV charger. 3. Provide labor to core 2 x 3" coring to penetrate with 2 x 2" PVC-coated Rigid Steel conduits through the concrete wall toward the EV charger. 4. Provide labor and equipment to demo the existing concrete sidewalk. 5. Provide labor and equipment to dig, trench, and backfill area to install 2 x 2" PVC-coated Rigid Steel stub ups at the location of the proposed EV charger. 6. Provide class II base with compaction. 7. Provide haul away of concrete and loose dirt. 8. Provide and install a new concrete pad and two 8" protective bollards per Districts' design. 9. Swab and mandrel the new and existing conduits. 10. Provide and install approximately 700' x 6 x 4/0 AWG copper THHN conductors (2 per phase). Each conduit shall include a #4 AWG copper THHN equipment grounding conductor (suitable for a 300A breaker) from existing distribution SWBD 9B to the new EV charger. Note: The vault underneath Switchboard 9B is a Hazard Classified space. Necessary safety protocols must be observed. The work of swabbing, mandrel, and pulling in conductors through the final segment of the conduit run shall be done during one scheduled outage. The outage must be scheduled at least five days in advance. 11.

If any manufacturer's specifications appear to conflict with the Districts' design, consultation with the Districts' project manager is required. In general, the Districts' design shall be followed. 12. Provide complete termination and testing of the EV charger.
