    The document outlines the Statement of Work (SOW) for the installation of four 120V electrical outlets in the Distribution Room FMGRSR02 at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina. The contractor is responsible for all aspects of the project, including management, equipment, labor, and compliance with various electrical codes. The installation entails adding breakers to an existing electrical panel, running conduits, and ensuring proper placement and functionality of the outlets. Key assumptions include minimal project disruptions, no hazardous material handling, and requirement of an escort for secure site access. The work must be completed during standard hours and is expected promptly after receiving a Notice to Proceed (NTP), with a construction schedule required within 10 days. The project is funded by ARCENT, and specific calculations for conduit fill and wire sizing are referenced in attachments. Overall, the SOW illustrates the technical and logistical framework necessary to ensure compliant and safe electrical infrastructure upgrades at a military facility.
    The Southwire Re3™ Building Wire Selector Calculator provides electrical professionals with specifications for selecting appropriate building wire based on various parameters. Input parameters include indoor location, conduit usage, conductor type (copper), voltage (120V), and a maximum current of 20 amps over a run length of 100 feet, targeting a maximum voltage drop of 5%. The calculator recommends a 10 AWG wire, alongside various types of THHN/THWN(-2) and XHHW-2 cables, detailing their specifications, resistance, reactance, and power factor. The document includes a disclaimer indicating that recommendations are based on current codes and standards, with the responsibility to ensure compliance lying with licensed electricians and local authorities. The tool is specific to NEC applications and does not cater to more complex electrical designs that may require different engineering calculations. The availability of multiple cable options and their features provides variability based on site-specific needs. Overall, the document serves as a guideline for wire selection in compliance with safety standards, applicable in contexts relevant to government and public construction contracts.
    The Southwire Conduit Fill Calculator provides essential data regarding the fill capacity of electrical conduits in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). The document reports a conduit fill percentage of 28.27% for a 1-inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit filled with 12 copper THHN (Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon-coated) wires, each sized 10 STR (stranded). The calculator indicates a "jam probability" of 6.515528, suggesting the likelihood of wire congestion within the conduit due to the number of wires in relation to the conduit size. An associated U.S. Patent (8788221) is also mentioned, implying proprietary elements of the calculator. This document serves as a practical tool for contractors and engineers managing conduit installations, aiding in compliance with electrical codes and ensuring safe and efficient wiring practices.
    The Shaw Air Force Base (AFB) is issuing a Sources Sought Notice (Solicitation #: FA480325SS001) to gather market research information regarding potential sources for commercial and institutional building construction, per NAICS Code 236220, with a small business size standard of $45 million.
