Electric service to the Phase 2 Raw Water Delivery System pump station is supplied by Pedernales
Electric Cooperative (PEC) with circuits from both the Nameless and Whitestone substations. Due
to utility policy changes regarding the availability of backup circuits, BCRUA has elected to study
the feasibility of constructing on-site generation.The ultimate buildout generators may be sized to
operate up to two 30 MGD BCRUA pumps, three 9 MGD Cedar Park pumps, and plant auxiliary
systems such as air conditioning, ventilation fans, lights, SCADA systems, and freeze protection
heaters. The purpose of Supplemental Contract No. 18 is to perform a feasibility study of this
design. Additional design services including Final Design will be handled through an additional
supplemental contract.
BASIC SCOPE OF SERVICES

2.4 Preliminary switchgear building layout and sizing requirements.
2.5 Perform feasibility level site plan development to accommodate major equipment
including generators, fuel tanks, fuel polishing equipment, load bank(s), switchgear
building footprint.
2.6 Evaluate opportunities for project phasing and work sequencing to avoid impacts to
the Sandy Creek electrical system if the project is initiated prior to the completion of
the Phase 2 Raw Water Delivery System Project.
2.7 Evaluate location of generator and generator switchgear building foundations to
avoid conflicts with existing duct banks.
2.8 Study generator refueling operations to determine if a fill station is necessary.
