The work involves comprehensive testing of medium‑voltage (MV) electrical equipment—including oil‑cooled switches, transformers, circuit breakers (225 A 3‑pole and above), and feeder cables—using Very Low Frequency (VLF) methods, torqueing, meggering, functional testing, infrared photography, and arc‑flash hazard analysis. Testing must be performed during off‑hours (6 PM‑6 AM and weekends), with final reports, photos, CAD drawings, and cost estimates for any deficiencies delivered within seven days of completion. The anticipated period of performance is 60‑90 days after notice to proceed, and the contract value is expected to fall between $250,000 and $750,000.
