Site work for a power facility in Apex, North Carolina. Design plans call for site work for a power facility.

As of October 8, 2025, this project is in the design phase. Construction is expected to begin towards the end of 2026. Project Description The Town of Apex has a need to increase the capacity of its East Williams Lower substation located off of NC Highway 55 near US Highway 1 to accommodate growth in the area. The substation currently consists of a 40 MVA transformer supplying 2 of 4 feeders to an adjacent switchyard via underground conductors from two breakers and 2000A bus system supported by a V type structure. An additional 40MVA transformer has been purchased and is scheduled for delivery in May of 2027. This project is to create construction documents and substation drawings with the necessary changes to accommodate the new transformer and three new exit feeders (refer to the attached exhibit). The project will also include all required modifications to existing protection, controls, and metering systems to support the upgrades. The existing V type support structure will be demolished and replaced with lattice style support structure with the bus work modified/replaced to match other town substation configurations. Exit feeders are to be fed by 600A reclosers (GW Vipers or Eaton Nova TS) through 576 KVA regulators (GE VR 1 or Eaton/Cooper Quickstep). The project may include the design or layout for all or portions of the exit feeders' (circuit) routes. This includes load-based layout of the distribution transformers, highway crossing, and development of tie points and loop schemes for the circuit and between circuits. The project will include two bid alternates: 1. Modify the existing bus work and V structure to interface with the new exit feeders instead of demolishing the existing structure. 2. Include the addition of 6 exit feeders rather than one. Scope of Work The following scope of work is currently envisioned for this project. The intent is to award the entire scope to one qualified firm or team of firms; however, the town reserves the right to contract separately for any portion of the project. All questions related to the RFQ shall be via email to brad.holland@apexnc.org from the identified contact person. The deadline for questions is 4:00 PM on August 15, 2025.
