QUESTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS
Addendum Item 3.03
CLARIFICATION: There was a discrepancy between the Plan details and Specification L-125 - Installation
of Airport Lighting Systems for the L-867 and L-868 cans with regard to the Material Class. The Plan details
are correct in showing the use of Class 1A (galvanized) base cans. For the purposes of this project, all
references in the L-125 - Installation of Airport Lighting Systems specification shall be considered to be
modified to reference Class 1A (galvanized) base cans in any material description.

PROPOSAL (BID) DOCUMENTS

L-109 INSTALLATION OF AIRPORT VAULT EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION
109-1.1 This item shall consist of preparing an existing constant current regulator (CCR) cabinet
(Regulator Cell 26 – 15kW) within the existing line up of switchgear style regulators, originally
manufactured by Honeywell and later upgraded to Liberty Airport Systems, Inc. (“LAS”) internally, for
the new Taxiway A centerline lights. The preparation will include LAS programming to convert the CCR
to Style 2 (5 brightness steps) and to add the new Taxiway A centerline controls and graphics into the
existing airfield lighting control and monitoring system (ALCMS); and the cabinet nameplate shall be
replaced accordingly to reflect the proposed changes. The ALCMS will also need to be modified to
remove the Taxiway C and Taxiway D stubs on the east side of RW 17-35 after the removal has been
completed. Also some of the existing TW A North circuit will be converted to the TW J circuit to be in
compliance with the Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (SMGCS) protocols which will
also need to have the graphics modified for the ALCMS. Due to having LED centerline lights being
converted to this circuit, LAS may also need to modify the TW J CCR to Style 2 (5 brightness steps).
In addition, the Taxiway H circuit is currently serviced by two different regulator circuits “H1”
(Regulator Cell 25- 15kW) and “H2” (Regulator Cell 26 – 15kW) which will be combined to be on an
existing single regulator (Regulator Cell 25, formerly just having the “H1” circuit) as part of this project
due to the reduction of load and available capacity of the regulator.
In addition, the Contractor shall assist the Resident Engineer in identifying and documenting the electrical
circuit of each of the cables and locations in every electrical manhole entered as part of this project. This
work will involve entering manholes for the identification of the cables. This data will be used as part of
the GIS documentation for the Airport as noted under Section M-400, Field Data Collection for GIS
Conversion.
In addition, the Contractor shall furnish and install cable racks and supports inside existing manholes to
“clean up” the cabling in the existing manholes. It has been assumed that at least three (3) cable racks
and three (3) hanger supports per rack will be required in each manhole entered as part of this project. It
has also been estimated that there are 28 manholes which will need cable racks and supports.
This item shall include furnishing and installing all wiring, cable, conduit, circuit breakers, and grounding
systems; and connecting and/or terminating existing control and monitoring wires to the new regulator or
the combining of loads on existing regulators. This work shall also include the marking and labeling of
equipment and the labeling or tagging of wires; the testing of the installation; and the furnishing of all
incidentals necessary to place it in operating condition as a completed unit to the satisfaction of the
Engineer.
EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS
109-2.1 GENERAL.
a.
Airport lighting equipment and materials covered by Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) specifications shall be certified and listed under Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5345-53, Airport

b.
All other equipment and materials covered by other referenced specifications shall be
subject to acceptance through manufacturer's certification of compliance with the applicable specification
when requested by the Engineer.
c.
Manufacturer's certifications shall not relieve the Contractor of the Contractor’s
responsibility to provide materials in accordance with these specifications and acceptable to the Engineer.
Materials supplied and/or installed that do not materially comply with these specifications shall be
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport

L-109-1
removed, when directed by the Engineer and replaced with materials, which do comply with these
specifications, at the sole cost of the Contractor.
d.
All materials and equipment used to construct this item shall be submitted to the Engineer
for approval prior to ordering the equipment. Submittals consisting of marked catalog sheets or shop
drawings shall be provided. Submittal data shall be presented in a clear, precise and thorough manner.
Original catalog sheets are preferred. Photocopies are acceptable provided they are as good a quality as
the original. Clearly and boldly mark each copy to identify pertinent products or models applicable to this
project. Indicate all optional equipment and delete non-pertinent data. Submittals for components of
electrical equipment and systems shall identify the equipment for which they apply on each submittal
sheet. Markings shall be boldly and clearly made with arrows or circles (highlighting is not acceptable).
Contractor is solely responsible for delays in project accruing directly or indirectly from late submissions
or resubmissions of submittals.
e.
The data submitted shall be sufficient, in the opinion of the Engineer, to determine
compliance with the plans and specifications. The Engineer reserves the right to reject any and all
equipment, materials or procedures, which, in the Engineer’s opinion, does not meet the system design
and the standards and codes, specified herein.
f.
All equipment and materials furnished and installed under this section shall be guaranteed
against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of at least twelve (12) months from final
acceptance by the Owner. The defective materials and/or equipment shall be repaired or replaced, at the
Owner's discretion, with no additional cost to the Owner.
109-2.2 RIGID STEEL CONDUIT. Rigid steel conduit and fittings shall be in accordance with
Underwriters Laboratories Standard 6 and 514.
109-2.3 FAA-APPROVED EQUIPMENT. Certain items of airport lighting equipment installed in

Circuits

AC 150/5345-10 Specification for Constant Current Regulators and Regulator Monitors
109-2.4 CONSTANT CURRENT REGULATOR. This item shall consist of preparing an existing
constant current regulator (CCR) cabinet (Regulator Cell 26 – 15kW, formerly served TW H2 circuit)

upgraded to Liberty Airport Systems, Inc. (“LAS”) internally, for the new Taxiway A centerline lights.
The preparation will include LAS programming to convert the CCR to Style 2 (5 brightness steps) and to
add the new Taxiway A centerline controls into the existing airfield lighting control and monitoring
system (ALCMS); and the cabinet nameplate shall be replaced accordingly to reflect the proposed
changes.
109-2.6 OTHER ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. All regularly used commercial items of electrical
equipment not covered by FAA equipment specifications shall conform to the applicable rulings and
