Post #1: Project criteriaProject design criteria has been determined, and the proposed scope of work is as follows:
- One new 225 Amp, 42 Space 480Y/277V 3 PH. 4 Wire Panelboard to be installed at location of new loads,
- New Panelboard fed with 225 Amp Feeder, derived from Service Equipment,
- One new 75 KVA Transformer - 480 x 208Y/120V 3PH 4W, set next to 480V Panelboard,
- New 225 Amp, 42 Space, 208Y/120V Panelboard with main breaker, fed from 75 KVA Transformer,
- New loads to be fed by these new Panelboards,
- New Trapeze Rack from Service to new Panels location - 24" long channel, suspended 24" below framing members,
- One spare 2" Conduit + Two spare 1" Conduits on Trapeze,
- 2" Conduit from MPOE / MDF to new area , for Comm / Data runs,
- Circuits and connections for new loads as listed previously.
The Proposal includes site survey and documentation labor, as well as the CAD work for the Plans for Plan Check and As-Builts.
Roof line is + 20 feet above finished floor, and the total length of run from Service to first Panelboard figures out to be 320 feet.
The new Panelboard Feeder will be protected by a 225 Amp 3 Pole Breaker in the Distribution Gear Section.
For Voltage Drop, we figure the Feeder to draw 225 Amps, and target the Voltage Drop to maximum of 2% at the Panelboard.
These items will comprise Post #2 - as described below:
I will compile a proposal, which includes all the previously listed scope items, and post it here later.
This will include the proposed scope of work items, exclusions, and such, as would be listed on a typical proposal document.
Along with this, the estimation take-off summary items will be posted.
This will include such items as Materials, estimated hours, non-productive labor, misc. items, rentals, and other items which do not get listed on the bid quote document.
With the posting of the bid documents, the Customer will accept the proposal, sign it + give a P.O. number, and send back - ready to begin work.
This will be described in light detail as an additional posted message (Post #3).
The next step will be Post #4, and will address the Plans + Building Department tasks.
Post #5 will deal with the actual installations, and may run across additional Posts. If necessary, these will be listed as "Post #5a", "5b", "5c" etc.
Post #6 will cover Inspections, billing, and other mid to near end project items.
Post #7 will cover Closeout and final commissioning stuff.
Post #8 will deal with As-Builts and other records items, as well as final Inspections and related Customer items.
Post #9 will cover files completion, job closing, and Project Manager reviews (profit/loss)
Let me know if there are any questions or comments.
