PART 1D SPECIFICATIONS FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS - STREET LIGHTING, PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES (AND LIFTS) a) Note 1 i. This Part of the Specifications comprises the technical specifications for the electrical installations for the street lighting system and also the pedestrian bridges and passenger lifts serving these pedestrian bridges. 1. The Contracting Authority has identified a number of locations (areas) affected by a | potential conflict between the Services Culvert - Enemalta (Special Structure 12) and the services runs of other entities. These are indicated in Appendix 1/10.1 and in Drawing MPJ/PL/ 004. iil, The Contractor is required to provide a design and construction solution at each and 1 every of the indentified conflict areas. ‘Technical specifications for the electrical bridges and related passenger lifts. stallations for the street lighting system, the | 1.0 Introduction: The Marsa-Paola junction upgrading project has been divided into three phases. This | technical specification is primarily for the provision of a street lighting system for the proposed roads” upgrading project but other works are envisaged as will be detailed in this, specification. The lighting works are not only intended for the main carriage wayo but other areas such as the pedestrian open and covered walkways including access stairways, the covered underpasses, pedestrian crossings, etc. are also to be provided with adequate lighting, Apart from the street lighting works, power supply points for Variable Message Signage | (VMS), Lane Control Signage (LCS), and CCTV cameras at various points are also required | together with the supply and installation of six passenger lifts (one at either end of each bridge) for the three bridges across the traffic carriage ways including the electrical installations within the bridges themselves. Phase 1 of the project has nothing to do with this tender since it involves mainly civil works only. This specification describes all the street lighting works for Phases 2 and 3 (that is for the whole of the Marsa/Paola junction project) including the supply of the lifts for the bridges and the electrical installation within the bridges however a call for tenders has already been issued for the works in Phase 2 and as such these works, in spite of excluded from he scupe uf Phase 3. Tu other ecification describes and specifies the complete 348streetlighting, lifts and bridges’ electrical installation works reqpired for Phases 2 and 3, the Bill of Quantities for the tender under consideration includes only those works in Phase 3 of the project. ‘The drawings being published with this tender clearly indicate the demarcation lines between Phases 2 and 3. However due to the fact that the street lighting system in particular has to be uniform throughout and controllable as one system for the whole project, that is Phases 2 and 3, what follows is meant to explain what is included in Phase 2 and also the works which need to be carried out within the boundary of Phase 2 as part of the works of Phase 3. ‘Auention should in panicula: be giveu w he Uomaivation lines defining the area of the project falling within Phase 2 and the area falling within Phase 3. The scope of works in Phase 2 included the supply and installation of all the street lighting poles (including the cutouts and all the wiring inside the poles themselves) all the underground ducts and all power supply cables required from pole to pole as shown in the relative drawing for Phase 2 only of the whole project. The scope of works in Phase 2 did not include the design of the lighting system and the supply of the luminaires since the work to design the lighting and supply the luminaires for the whole of Phases 2 and 3 are considered to be included in the scope of works of Phase 3. The reason for this is to ensure that there will be only one lighting design for both Phases 2 and 3 and the luminaires will be uniform throughout the whole project. Moreover the lighting control/dimming/switching system for both Phases 2 and 3 will be one system falling within the scope of Phase 3. ‘The drawings included with the tender documents for Phase 3 show the proposed position and type of the main poles and luminaires required. The design to be eventually proposed as part of the Scope of Phase 3 will be as far as possible in accordance with this drawing which also shows the proposed route and number of the cable ducts to supply the pole mounted luminaires and other supplies. However since the works in Phase 2 are already in progress the type and position of the poles in Phase 2 cannot be changed and have to be considered as existing by the prospective contractor of Phase 3 when making his lighting design calculations. As such the prospective Phase 3 contractor may be allowed to make some reasonable changes to the position and spacing and hence to the number of the poles and the cable routes within Phase 3. The prospective contractor must however prove that it would not be possible to achieve the required levels and/or quality of the lighting specified unless some changes are introduced or if for example he can show that the lighting design can be carried out using less poles. For such changes to be introduced the contractor must submit valid reasons for the changes and the Contracting Authority must give its approval in writing if it finds these reasons justified. Adjudication of the tender offers will be strictly based on the type and quantities indicated in the BOQ and the BOQ rates will be used to adjust the final price if the changes (additions andlor dednetians) in quantities as recommended hy the successful bidder after the tender is awarded have been accepted. No changes in quantities must be made to the BOQ when the offer is submitted. ‘Since Phase 2 will be completed ahead of Phase 3, arrangements have been made to have the road sections within Phase 2 illuminated by the contractor of Phase 2 on a temporary basis using traditional discharge lighting luminaires. The Phase 3 contractor, as part of his scope of works, will be required to remove the temporary lumninaires carefully and return them to the Contracting Authority in good condition against a signed receipt by the Contracting Authority. These temporary luminaires are to be immediately replaced with the new LED luminaires using the supply cables and cutouts installed by the Phase 2 contractor. Should any replacement parts or cables be required these should be supplied and installed by the Phase 3 contractor by agreement wit ‘ontracting Authority. It is crucial that the road sections within Phase 2 are kept ijlimindied.ddring the dark hours during the transition from the temporary lighting to the p OW 349The whole project is to be supplied with electricity strictly from one point only iraside a dedicated switchroom which is shown in the tender drawings and which forms part of the scope of works for Phase 3. This main switchroom will be provided with an adequate 400/230V SOHz. supply by means of an underground cable from a proposed nearby 11 /0.4kV substation which will be constructed by Enemalta the local distribution system operator. The demarcation point for the whole project as far as the supply of electricity is concerned -will be the terminals of the Enemalta electricity meter which will be installed inside the main switchroom. Electricity from this meter will be supplied to the main distribution board. which is to supply all the outgoing electrical circuits for the project under consideration from the main switchroom. The underground duets required for the Enemalta supply cable between the substation and the main switchroom however form part of Phase 3 and as such will be supplied and installed by the contractor to whom the tender for Phase 3 will eventually be awarded 2.0 Scope of works and list of related drawings : The scope of works covered by this specification for both Phases 2 and 3 shall comprise the following: 1. The detailed design of the whole lighting and electrical installation systems ensuring in particular that the lighting levels and quality are in conformity with the specified standards.(This is strictly within the scope of works of Phase 3 only for both Phases 2 and 3) 2. The provision of all cable raceways including the related trenching works , concreted ducts, manholes, bracket works, cable trays etc. A dedicated system of ducts for the cables associated with the street lighting and power supply points required is to be provided as distinct from the ‘walk through culvert system’ for other services which is also to be provided as detailed in an another section of the overall junction upgrading project. 3. The supply and installation of the electrical system materials and equipment comprising but not limited to the distribution boards, all types of cables, earth electrodes et. 4. The supply and installation of all the street lighting poles and all the luminaires and lighting equipment required for the whole project. 5. The provision of a number of supply points throughout the project as detailed in the drawings and this specification for the supply of other systems required such as VMS, LCS, CCTV, bridges/lifis etc. The supply and installation of the VMS and LCS systems and CCTV cameras do not form part of the scope of works. (The supply and installation of the cables required for these fall completely within the scope of works of Phase 3 including those cables which have to be installed within the area of Phase 2. However the provision of the relative ducts and manholes within the area falling under Phase 2 do not form part of the Phase 3 scope of works). 6. The supply and installation of the six passenger lifts together with all the electrical and LV/control equipment and electrical distribution system required for the three pedestrian bridges ae 350
