Provision of Electrical Modifications for Adapting to the New Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) System in the UNICTF in Valencia, Spain.

The United Nations Global Service Centre (UNGSC) is seeking expressions of interest from qualified companies to provide Electrical Modifications for Adapting to the New Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) System in the United Nations Information, Communication and Technology Facility (UNICTF) in Valencia, Spain. A comprehensive analysis of the existing electrical infrastructure and necessary electrical modifications are required to seamlessly integrate the new UPS system into the existing electrical infrastructure. The following activities, to be carried out in the two UPS rooms of the data center, will be required: • Construct a new central power cabinet, with a main switch capacity of 4000A, and with 4 automatic switch with 4 pole and capacity of 1000A. • Build new coupling connection cabinets for the UPS system since the old cable entry to the UPS was through the base of the cabinet, whereas the new ones are connected through the upper part of the cabinets. These cabinets will facilitate the adaptation of the connection and eliminate the need to route all the new cables directly from the main panel. • Run a new neutral line from the main panel to the coupling cabinet. • Increase the size of the cables from Main cabinet to each UPS cabinet to support 500kVA.Create a new Normal/Socorro cabinet to reduce space, as the new cabinet will only have one manual switch. • Run new wires from the UPS to the distribution cabinet due to changes in distances resulting from the smaller size of the new UPS cabinet. • Run new DC wires from the UPS cabinet to the new battery cabinets. • Run new communication wires from the UPS to the battery cabinets to monitor the status of the batteries. The project will be done in phases as follows: Phase 1 - Preliminary Preparation Tasks (Safety Planning, Scheduling and Materials preparations), including - Operative Safety Plan (P.O.S.) with all required documentation as per Spanish safety laws - Field Measurements. - Shop drawings. - Executive Gantt Chart. The Contractor shall coordinate field measurements and fabrication schedule with construction progress to avoid construction delays. - Get the necessary material for field installation and new cabinets. - Build new cabinets. Phase 2 – Installation of New Electrical Cabinets and Interconnections between new UPS and cabinets in UPS Room A, including - Build and supply the Main electrical cabinet. - Build and supply a new UPS coupling cabinet. - Build and supply a new electrical switching cabinet (NORMAL/SOCORRO). - Supply and assemble a new neutral line from the main electrical cabinet to the UPS(s), - Supply and assemble electrical cables to increase the capacity from 400kVA to 500kVA from the main electrical cabinet to the UPS(s). - Supply and assemble new electrical wires from the coupling cabinet to the output distribution electrical cabinet. - Supply and assemble new electrical DC wires from the battery cabinets to the batteries, and new control wires from the UPS to the batteries. - Perform indoor wiring for the UPS. - Supply and install a metal structure electric tray. - Disassemble and remove old UPS devices, batteries, and bypass cabinets. - Connect new UPS devices. Phase 3 – Commissioning and Testing of UPS Room A, including: - Startup Notification from Schnider Electric Partner to UNICTF - UPS Room A for no incidents reported in the form of an electronic mail confirmation/notification. - Startup Acceptance Test shall begin after the Startup Notification. Phase 4 – Installation of New Electrical Cabinets and interconnections between New UPS and New Cabinets in Room B, including: - Supply a new electrical main cabinet and a new UPS coupling cabinet. - Supply a new electrical switching cabinet for each room (NORMAL/SOCORRO). - Supply and assemble a new neutral line(s) from the main electrical cabinet to the UPS(s). - Supply and assemble electrical cables to increase the capacity from 400kVA to 500kVA from the main electrical cabinet to the UPS(s). - Supply and assemble new electrical wires from the coupling cabinet to the output distribution electrical cabinet. - Assemble new electrical wires from the coupling cabinet to the output distribution electrical cabinet, new electrical DC wires from the UPS to the battery cabinets and from the battery cabinets to the batteries. - Assemble new control wires from the UPS to the batteries. - Perform indoor wiring for the UPS. - Install a metal structure electric tray. - Disassemble and remove existing UPS devices and batteries. - Connect 2 new UPS devices. Phase 5 – Commissioning and Testing of UPS Room B, including: - Startup Notification from Schnider Electric Partner to UNICTF - UPS Room B for no incidents reported in the form of an electronic mail confirmation/notification. - Startup Acceptance Test shall begin after the Startup Notification. The selected Contractor will be responsible for providing the UNICTF with a complete project including all documentation, labor, materials, transport, tools, and equipment needed to implement and complete the project.
