Des Moines County Conservation is seeking a qualified electrical contractor to design and install new electrical service to 18 individual RV campsites. Design of the new system should mimic the current system in the existing campground. Contractor will install a disconnect panel near each transformer. Panels should have disconnects for each individual electrical pedestal corresponding to individual campsites. From each disconnect panel, contractor will install underground wire that will feed electrical pedestals at roughly each location indicated on the project map. DMCC supplied pedestals will be installed by contractor in such locations that are convenient for campers to plug in to, minimizing the distance between the camper and the electric box as much as possible (electric plugs are generally on the rear, driver side of campers). DMCC staff will mark preferred pedestal locations on site. Each pedestal will have one 50 amp, one 30 amp, and one 20 amp receptacle (see example unit specs, attached) and be connected to its own disconnect/breaker at the panel installed near the transformer. All wiring will be installed underground and must be bored in to eliminate danger to existing trees and newly developed roads. Wire must be of sufficient gauge to prevent voltage drop over long runs. Wire should be placed in the ground in such a way that minimizes incidental contact in the future. Runs should be consolidated to as few routes as possible and wire must be installed at least 36" deep. The contractor will be required to submit a proposed wiring path diagram for approval by DMCC prior to any wire being installed. The scope of this project includes all necessary design and installation. All work must meet any and all applicable local, state, and federal codes. The contractor is responsible for obtaining any and all required permits. The following criteria must be met to achieve a successful project: o DMCC supplied electrical pedestals installed and wired on 18 newly constructed campsites, including design from utility to sites. (Phase 1) o DMCC supplied electrical pedestals installed and wired on six existing campsites. Disconnect panels already exist with room to expand. (Phase 2) o All wiring installed underground at least 36" deep. o Wire runs consolidated to minimize potential contact in the future. Wiring paths must be preapproved by DMCC. o All work meets any and all applicable codes. o Minimal damage caused to ground surface.
