Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

General note 2 states, "THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY UNKNOWN UNDERGROUND UTILITIES." This is an unreasonable expectation as the contractor(s) bidding do not have knowledge of any utilities other than what has been provided in the conceptual drawings. Suggestion would be to establish an allowance so that all contractors bid the same way or remove this note/requirement from the contract documents.

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

Can pumps be sized based on best engineering practice or is the 150 GPM requirement fixed? The stated requirement for 150 GPM fuel transfer pump flow appears to be too high for this application. Each 2 MW generator will consume about 140 gallons per hour for a total of 560 gallons per hour for four generators. Industry practice is to apply a safety factor of 3-4 times generator consumption, so the pumps should be sized for 1,600 to 2,100 gallons per hour. Filling generator day tanks at 150 gallons per minute (9,000 GPH) would present safety and operational problems including: foaming of the oil that could cause float switches and level sensors to malfunction and the engine fuel pump to lose prime, and potential overfilling of tanks if tank fill valves do not close fast enough.

Project objectives call for providing the fuel system for four existing generators. A satellite view of the facility seems to indicate that only three of the generators are currently existing with a space for the fourth, but the view may not be current. Is the fourth generator existing; and if not, to what extent are piping and controls to be provided to the empty generator location?
