Engineering Services for NF91 Transformer Replacement
This RSQ process will remain open until cancelled by McMaster.

This Supplier Qualification is to shortlist firms who have demonstrated experience and capability to provide electrical engineering for the design, tender and contract administration of the replacement of the main transformers and ancillary equipment owned by McMaster University..

McMaster incoming power is provided by Hydro One. The two Hydro One incoming service lines are 115,000v and connect to 1958 vintage McMaster-owned substation. The substation delivers 13.8 kV electricity to the main electrical switchgear in ET Clarke for distribution to the 50+ buildings on campus including McMaster University Medical Centre hospital.

The electrical distribution switchgear in ET Clarke was upgraded in 2016.

As part of the McMaster campus electrical grid, there is approximately 17 MW of cogeneration power.
The proposed upcoming project be scheduled to ensure there is always power to the campus, and minimize time when only one electrical feed is in service. The contemplated steps include:

Review existing structure in the NF 91 yard for accommodating the new ancillary equipment and implement any remediation work required to allow the structure to accommodate the proposed changes.
Install a new transformer in the NF91 yard while the existing transformers remain in service
Install a new E-house and underground cables for the new transformer.
Take one existing transformer out of service and redirect the feed to the new transformer.
Remove the decommissioned transformer and install the second new transformer in this location
Redirect the feeds to the second new transformer
