Addenda and clarification responses will be posted on the KETRACO website. It was emphasized that detailed methodologies for the work to be undertaken are required as part of the bid submissions. In particular, the methodology for the extension works at Dandora substation will be evaluated to ensure that the bidders are experienced in extending existing HV substations. It is critical that outages are minimized and the methodologies are to include detailed construction programmes, indicating the outage requirements. Confirmation of the fault levels for the 220kV and 66kV systems was requested. [Post meeting note : It is confirmed that the system fault levels are 31.5kA / 1s for both the 220kV and 66kV systems.] The HV Cable protection for the Dandora to Koma Rock circuits is to be double differential. The existing telecommunications system information is to be provided to the bidders as an addendum. New control building layouts are to be designed by the Contractors. The earthing design specification is inherent within IEC 61936-1. Technical schedules for surge arresters are to be provided in an addendum. No technical schedules will be provided for the DC Battery Chargers. The bidders shall provide the battery system information in their own format. It was confirmed that the Time for Completion is to be 18 months, up to operational acceptance. Areas of full development for each new substation will be 200m x 170m. For Isinya substation, the bidders shall include costs for installing the DNO supplies to the LVAC system, teeing off from the nearby 33kV overhead line. NEMA approvals will be dealt with by KETRACO. All other municipal/authority/transport costs shall be covered by the Bidder. Access roads from main roads to the sites are not within the scope of the Contracts. However, it is the Contractors responsibility to ensure safe delivery of equipment to the sites under CIP. The Bidders shall ensure compatibility of feeder protections with remote end protections. Following the conclusion of the pre-bid meeting, arrangements were made to visit the sites.
