The LBE subcontractor participation requirement for this Contract is below 20% due to the following: This project has a high level of complexity when it comes to the scope of work, primarily the electrical work. The contractor will be installing provisions to run SEP 040/041 during a power shut down to allow both maintenance and connections to an existing substation. This critical load system is comprised of a manual transfer switch, portable generator connection and a portable generator. The contractor will be required to install the critical load test the critical load equipment in a short window that is critical to WWE operation of the facility. During construction, the contractor will be required to coordinate and switch between permanent and temporary power, potentially more than once. Failure to properly transfer between temporary and permanent power can have severe operational consequences. This project also has many weather constraints. Since Southeast Plant (SEP) will be in operation during construction, work will have to be tailored to the dry and wet weather seasons and ensure the building is operational when required by WWE. Lastly, SEP has multiple projects occurring at the same time. This adds an even higher level of complexity since the contractor will have to coordinate with several different projects.
