D5.2 The Services are anticipated to be delivered as per the following phases:
D5.2.1 Detailed design and specifications for the installation of a charging system for an electric bus fleet including charger cabinets and remote charge dispensers as per the following:
(i) All associated electrical design required to accommodate the charging system, including but not limited to upgrades to the main electrical room, new feeder panel, Manitoba Hydro transformer, as well as all required structural, civil and mechanical work to support the new infrastructure according to codes, regulations and industry standards.
(ii) The City’s pre-approved list of charger cabinets include:
(a) Siemens SICHARGE UC
(b) ABB HVC
(c) Hitachi Energy Grid-eMotion]
(d) Kempower C-Series
(e) Heliox Flex
(f) Proterra Energy PC-150-PI
(iii) Brand names and model numbers, when used, are for the purpose of identifying a standard of requirement and are not to be construed as restricting the procurement to those brand names and model numbers called out.
(iv) Charging equipment must comply with all applicable federal, state and local legislation, regulations, codes, standards, permits, approvals, authorizations and other requirements (collectively, “regulations”) in effect at the date of acceptance.
(v) The charging equipment shall be UL classified or field certified for the intended purpose prior to acceptance.
(vi) Communication shall be OCPP 1.6-J (or newer) compliant and can also be locally programmed.
(vii) Charging system design must be capable of charging a minimum of 18 buses simultaneously at up to 135kW, while inducing a maximum 1600 kVA load at the garage
(viii) Charging units shall be capable of distributing 135kW of power sequential, in-parallel or dynamically to at least four (4) charge dispensers.
(ix) The charging system shall be capable of connecting to three phase, 60 Hz electrical supply at 600 VAC or approved alternative. Connectors shall be SAE J1772 compatible and supplied with a CCS Type1 connector.
(x) The design shall support phased installation of twenty-two (22) charger cabinets or equivalent and eighty-five (85) charge dispensers.
(xi) The charger cabinets are anticipated to be installed in the storage room where the main electrical room is currently located.
(xii) The 85 charge dispensers shall be located along 5 tracks, distributed as 34 between tracks 41-42, 34 between tracks 43-44, and 17 between tracks 45-46.
(xiii) Hollows steel posts shall be manufactured and strategically placed throughout the garage to facilitate the installation of up to two (2) wall-mounted charge dispensers per post.
(xiv) To avoid trenching the existing concrete floor, cabling connecting the charger cabinets to the charge dispensers shall be run along the ceiling of the garage and be brought down to ground level via hollow steel posts.
(xv) To avoid trenching the existing concrete floor, charger cabinets shall be installed on an elevated structural platform which allows cable routing under the charger cabinet.
(xvi) A cord management system which suspends the charge cable off the ground and prevents the connector from contacting the floor if dropped shall be provided.
(xvii) This phase shall be completed by February 28, 2023.
D5.2.2 Phase 1: Contract document preparation; procurement process; contract administration, construction services; and post construction services for the purchasing and installation of nine (9) electric bus charger cabinets or equivalent, and thirty-four (34) charge dispensers to be installed between tracks 41 and 42.
(i) During this phase, the proponent will work with Manitoba Hydro on behalf of Transit to complete the required upgrade to the transformer and incoming feeders.
(ii) This Tender shall also include the required electrical, mechanical, civil and structural upgrades and provisions to support the installation of the remaining charging equipment as per the detailed designed completed according to D5.2.1.
(iii) This Tender for Construction shall be posted no later than March 31, 2023
(iv) Construction shall achieve Total Performance by February 28, 2024
(v) In case that the anticipated dates cannot be met due to long lead time on equipment and/or materials, additional tenders shall be prepared and issued by the Proponent for the supply and delivery of the equipment and/or material ahead of time.
