SCOPE OF WORK Texas A&M; University (TAMU) Physical Plant Utilities at College Station requires professional Engineering Services for the installation of an additional transformer in the West Campus Switching Station on the TAMU campus in College Station, Texas. A detailed € Program of Requirements (POR) for Purchase of T6 138 kV Transformer € developed by Stanley Consultants, Inc. is available upon request for transformer and circuit breaker specifications and project background information. Contact David Payne for a copy of the POR (979-862-7759, dpayne@utilities.tamu.edu). The total budget for this project is $1.9 million. The overall effort consists of three projects: (1) purchase the transformer and circuit breaker specified in the attached document, (2) provide design and engineering services for the installation of the transformer and circuit breaker, and (3) perform the installation of the transformer and circuit breaker. This project will provide engineering design, construction documents (drawings and specifications) and follow up construction administration services for the installation of the transformer and circuit breaker. Requirements of the work include, but are not necessarily limited to the following: 1. Provide all A/E design and documentation needed for a complete and functional installation of transformer and circuit breaker as described in the POR discussed in the first paragraph of this Scope of Work. 2.
