REPLACEMENT POWER TRANSFORMER: The contractor shall design, manufacture, factory test, deliver, offload, reassembly, install, oil-fill and field test one exterior 3,250 kVA power transformer.

In addition to the above, the contractor shall include the tools and spare parts, and perform the work required to comply with the site operations, environmental protection, and safety and health provisions during the equipment replacement. The estimated cost of construction will be between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
