Scope of Work A.The Contractor shall furnish all labor, material, equipment, and supervision necessary to replace the irrigation jockey pump variable frequency drive (VFD), main pump VFD, Program Logic Controller, and integrated, air conditioned enclosure at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in accordance with the contract requirements specified below and per applicable industry standards and codes. B.Existing Irrigation System Components: 1.Main Pump Motor, "RWP-2A":U.S. Motors, HO150V2SLG (ID #: U 07 7567491-0005 R 00 03) 150HP, 1780 RPM, 164 FLA, 460V/60Hz/3-phase 2.Main Pump Motor, "RWP-2B":U.S. Motors, HO150V2SLG (ID #: U 07 7567491-0005 R 00 04) 150HP, 1780 RPM, 164 FLA, 460V/60Hz/3-phase 3.Jockey Pump Motor, "RWP-1":Baldor, VLCP3771T (to be installed new under separate contract) 10HP, 3500 RPM, 12 FLA, 460V/60Hz/3-phase 4.The design operating sequence of the system is as follows: I.Reuse Water Pump (RWP-1) and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD-1) will be controlled by pump control pressure transmitter and PLC in the Pump Control Panel located in the Pump Station. The PLC will control the pump and VFD via 4-20 mA signal from the pressure transmitter. RWP-1 will maintain a minimum discharge pressure of 100 psi. If the pressure exceeds more than 110 psi at the minimum speed it will shut down the pump. II.Reuse Water Pump (RWP-2A) and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD-2) will be controlled by pump control pressure transmitter and PLC in the Pump Control Panel. The PLC will control the pump and VFD via 4-20 mA signal from the pressure transmitter. When the discharge pressure drops below 100 psi for more than 30 seconds RWP-2A will start and RWP-1 will shut down. RWP-2A will maintain a minimum discharge pressure of 100 psi. When the discharge pressure exceeds 110 psi at the minimum speed for more than 30 seconds RWP-2A will shut down and RWP-1 will start and maintain a pressure of 100 psi. III.Reuse Water Pumps (RWP-2A & RWP-2B) will alternate starts every 24 hours at a preset time. IV.All Reuse Water Pumps will be provided with an adjustable minimum run time set for 30 seconds. V.All pumps will shut down when water level in the pump station wet well drops to the low water level.
