01100 – Scope of Work
01100.1 Technical Scope of Work
The CPS Energy Calaveras coal yard utilizes several mechanical devices that require a clean and
moisture-free supply of compressed air. The coal yard air consumers are supplied by several air
compressors through a compressed air piping distribution system. The existing compressor facilities for
the coal yard compressed air system is not as reliable and needs consolidation and updating, as it has
damages and is aged.
All the existing compressors, except the two compressors that are located at the railcar dumper building,
are single compressor installations tied together through the use of small bore compressed air piping
distribution system to supply the air consumers that are mostly dust collectors, air cannons, fire protection
systems instrumentation and general maintenance equipment.
The railcar dumper building air compressor supplies compressed air to the railcar dust collector.
The railcar dumper building maintenance air compressor supplies compressed air to the railcar dumper
building and Transfer Tower, T-1.
This compressor project involves the installation of a single enclosed air-cooled compressor with a twin
tower regenerative desiccant dryer system that will be connected to the existing compressed air system at
the CPS Energy Calaveras coal yard. The new air compressor and dryer shall be skid mounted and
located outdoors under a roof for rain-fall protection. Installation shall be done by the Contractor. This
compressor project shall consist of the design, engineering, fabrication, testing, warranty and placing into
operation the complete air compressor and dryer system.
In addition to the installation of the new Client purchased air compressor, this project includes the
installation of piping to tie the rail car dump compressed air system to the rest of the coal yard
compressed air system by way of an underground small bore piping and the demolition of older ‘standalone’ air compressor systems.
The Calaveras Plant Site is located southeast of San Antonio, Texas, on Calaveras Lake. The Site is
served by Highway 181 to Southeast to Foster Road, to Burshard Road. Contractor access and
deliveries shall use the Knowlton Road entrance.
New coal yard air compressor system re-configuration shall include the installation, connection and
supply (where applicable) of the following:






One skid-mounted, air-cooled, rotary screw air compressor of the Ingersoll Rand brand with a
capacity of 560 cfm. This capacity shall provide the coal yard with 2 x 100 percent capacity to
provide compressed air redundancy for coal yard reliability and performance, supplied by others.
The new compressor will be tagged as CCAD-CMP-4 and is similar in brand and capacity as
CCAD-CMP-1.
CCAD-CMP-4 will utilize a new skid-mounted heatless regenerative twin tower air dryer of the
Ingersoll Rand brand tagged CCAD-DRY-4, equipped a single inlet and a single outlet particulate
filter and an independent control panel, supplied by others.
The new dryer (CCAD-DRY-4) shall be located outdoors adjacent to CPS Energy coal yard air
compressor (CCAD-CMP-1) and air dryer (CCAD-DRY-1) equipment. The new air dryer will be
cross-tied to the existing air dryers at the air dryer inlets and at the outlet to a common
compressed air receiver tank (CCAD-TNK-1) through manual operated valves supplied and
installed by the Contractor.
The compressed air from CCAD-DRY-4 will be output and plumbed by the Contractor to existing

02220.2 Not Used
02220.3 Execution
02220.3.1 General
This article covers general earthwork; removal and disposal of debris; excavation; the handling, storage,
transportation, and disposal of excavated material; sheeting, shoring, and protection work; preparation of
subgrades; dewatering; protection of adjacent construction; backfill; construction of fills and
embankments; surfacing and grading; and other appurtenant work.
All excavations, sheeting, shoring, and temporary excavation support shall be performed in accordance
with OSHA 29CFR Part 1926, Subpart P, "Excavations."
02220.3.2 Sheeting and Shoring
The stability of previously constructed structures and facilities shall not be impaired or endangered by
excavation work. Previously constructed structures and facilities include both structures and facilities
existing when this construction began and structures and facilities already provided under these
specifications.
Adequate sheeting and shoring shall be provided to protect and maintain the stability of previously
constructed structures and facilities and the sides of excavations until they are backfilled. Sheeting,
bracing, and shoring shall be designed and built to withstand all loads and restrain all settlement caused
by earth movement or pressure, and shall maintain the shape of the excavation.
02220.3.3 Removal of Water
Adequate dewatering equipment shall be provided to remove and dispose of all surface and ground water
entering excavations and other parts of the work. Each excavation shall be kept dry. Control of ground
water shall be accomplished in a manner that will preserve the strength of the foundation soils, will not
cause instability of the excavation slopes, and will not result in damage to existing structures. Where
necessary to these purposes, the water level shall be lowered in advance of excavation, utilizing wells,
well points, or similar methods. The water level as measured in piezometers shall be maintained
continuously about 1 foot below the prevailing excavation level, or it shall be lowered to within about
1 foot of impermeable strata. Open pumping with sumps and ditches, if it results in boils, loss of fines,
softening of the ground, or instability of slopes, will not be permitted. Wells and well points shall be
installed with suitable screens and filters so that continuous pumping of fines does not occur. Dewatering
shall continue until the construction is no longer affected by ground or surface water. The dewatering
system shall only pump water that is clear and free of fines, with a sand content less than 10 ppm. The
discharge shall be arranged so that samples can be collected.
Surface water shall be diverted to the extent possible to prevent entrance into excavations.
Pipe or conduit used for drainage purposes shall be kept clean and free of sediment. Temporary
drainage piping that is not a part of the permanent construction shall be removed at the completion of the
work.
When the work is completed, all parts of the permanent plant drainage system used for water disposal
that have been damaged by dewatering operations shall be repaired. Dewatering work shall not overload
the plant drainage system. Dewatering discharge shall be routed to local open trench.
Header systems may be laid on top of the ground provided they do not obstruct plant operations,
construction activity, or traffic. Groundwater systems shall operate continuously, if necessary, to maintain
the specified water level.
Proposed dewatering systems shall be submitted to the Engineer for review.

to the plan. Vibration, dust, and rubble shall be kept to a minimum. Sections of concrete designated
to be removed shall have the outline of the section scored on the exposed surfaces with a concrete or
masonry saw. The cut depth shall be as great as practicable without cutting reinforcing steel and
shall be about
1 inch (25 mm). Score lines shall be straight and parallel or perpendicular to the major axis of the
structure, unless otherwise designated by or acceptable to the Engineer.
After the scores have been made, the concrete shall be removed in the largest pieces possible in a
manner that will prevent damage to the remaining structures and facilities. Reinforcing steel designated to remain shall be exposed and cleaned to provide a bonding surface. This reinforcing steel
shall not be heated. Bending shall be limited and performed to minimize the effect on the strength
and ductility. Reinforcing that is damaged, to the extent that its strength is impaired, shall be replaced
with dowels or corrected as directed by the Engineer.
Existing concrete surfaces that will be in contact with new concrete shall be rough and clean. Surface
mortar shall be removed to expose the aggregate, and all loose particles and foreign substances shall
be removed. Immediately prior to placing new concrete, the existing concrete surfaces shall be
coated with epoxy bonding compound. The bonding compound shall be applied in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions. Temperature limitations shall be observed.
Exposed broken and irregular surfaces of remaining concrete shall be finished to match comparable
adjacent exposed concrete surfaces. These surfaces shall be ground and filled with mortar or
covered with a mortar cap. Before the mortar fill or cap is applied, the existing surface shall be
coated with epoxy bonding compound.
Holes for sleeves in hardened concrete shall be made with a core drill. Sleeves shall be grouted in
place with setting cement.
When new concrete joins existing concrete at joints provided in the existing structure, the existing
dowels, keyways, and water stops shall be thoroughly cleaned. Dowels shall be cleaned to expose
the bare metal. Water stops shall be cleaned and repaired. Solvents, oil, or other residue shall be
thoroughly removed. Keyways shall be cleaned of all coatings, dirt, or other foreign materials to
completely expose the concrete surface. Dowels, keyways, and water stops shall be coated with
epoxy bonding compound.

Firm metal-to-metal contact should be established between each instrument probe and flange face across
the insulator being tested. The instrument meter should be observed. An effective insulator is indicated if
the instrument meter remains deflected to full scale. Any deflection less than full scale indicates a
shorted insulator.
Electrical insulation tests shall be performed at 6 inch (150 mm) intervals around the circumference of the
insulated flange. Failure of the insulation test at any location around the circumference shall qualify as a
failed insulator.
Failed insulators may result from deficient installation of the flange gasket or one or more of the

Piping erection connections to rotating equipment shall not commence until the rotating equipment has
been installed, aligned, and grouted in place. For connections to rotating equipment, piping erection shall
start at equipment connections and progressively build away from the equipment connection to the
farthest distance practical; this shall mean, as a minimum, that at least the first three dead weight
supports going away from the connection shall be installed on the piping being erected. In addition, the
piping must have two offsets or changes in direction. Pipe misalignment adjustments shall not be made
within this minimum distance from the rotating equipment. Flange connections should be initially fit and
held in relative position using machine pins or other loose-fitting devices. Flange bolts shall not be
installed until after final flange alignment and rough equipment alignment has been completed. Rough
alignment is required to ensure that final alignment is achievable. The equipment shall be securely bolted
to the structure and grouted before flanges are tightened. Travel stops on spring supports shall remain in
place until piping erection is complete, insulation erection is complete, liquid filled piping (if applicable) is
filled with the process fluid, and all temporary supports are removed. Travel stops shall be installed and
remain in place during hydrostatic testing. If the flanged connections are to be disconnected, the travel
stops shall be installed prior to draining the piping system. Pipe support turnbuckles shall be used to
adjust the spring supports, as indicated in the pipe support installation instructions, to unload the travel
stops prior to removal.
Final alignment checks and manufacturer representative's acceptance of connection alignment shall only
be performed with all travel stops in place and all temporary supports removed. Making up of the welded
joints on the steam generator, turbine generator, boiler feed pump turbines, boiler feed pumps, and
similar equipment shall be done in strict accordance with the equipment manufacturer's requirements and
under the supervision of the equipment manufacturer's representative. It shall be the Contractor's

15921.3.10 Valve Installation
Excessive piping strains and bending moments on valves, especially Class 150 large steel gate valves
and butterfly valves, shall be avoided. Excessive strains and moments will result in distorted valve seats.
All steel globe valves shall be installed, wherever possible, in such a manner that closing of the valve will
relieve the pressure from the packing and permit repacking of the valve with the plant in normal operation.
This shall be accomplished by installing the valves on all branch lines from a pressure source, with the
pressure under the seat of the valve. In the case of a bypass line, or a line containing two or more globe
valves connecting two pressure sources that cannot be taken out of service after the plant is in normal
operation, the valve at each end of the line shall be installed in such a manner that the connecting line
between the valves may be taken out of service for repacking of both valves when they are closed.
Exceptions to the above requirements are those valves for which the manufacturer indicates the required
direction of flow through the valve and those valves for which the direction of flow is indicated on the
drawings.

Self-energized types such as o rings, elastomeric, other self-seating
types such as red rubber below 75A Shore Durometer.
Low seating stress such as reinforced teflon, graphite and spiral wound
with an approximate minimum design seating stress of 3000 psi.
Spiral-wound metallic high seating stress with an approximate minimum
design seating stress of 10,000 psi.
The following may be used as a reference for torque values for flat face and raised face
flanges.
PCC-1 Guidelines for Pressure Boundary Bolted Flange Joint Assembly
indicates that the minimum and maximum loading requirements for
bolting must be selected by the end user.
Per PCC-1, the maximum loading on bolts is typically in the range of
40% to 70% of the ambient bolt yield stress. The minimum loading on
bolts is typically in the range of 20% to 40% of the ambient bolt yield
stress.
The elastomeric gasket on flat face flanges should no protrude (extend)
out beyond the flange after tightening. In some cases finger tight plus ¼
to ½ turn with a wrench may control in lieu of torque values.
For typical torque values, refer to Article15921.1.8 Technical
Attachments.
Flanges shall use the following or similar approved criteria for bolting sequence of flanges.
Tightening method and load control techniques shall be completed with approved
methods that utilize a single tool with one of the following methods; hand wrench,
slug/hand wrench, impact wrench torque tools and tension tools.
The tightening sequence shall utilize an approved criteria similar to the five step
increment rounds shown in Table 2 Torque Increments for Legacy Cross-Pattern
Tightening Using a Single Tool and Table 4 Legacy Cross-Pattern Tightening Sequence
and Bolt Numbering System When Using a Single Tool and Table 4.1 Alternative to
Legacy Cross-Pattern Tightening Sequence and Bold Numbering System When Using a

may mean the Purchaser or the authorized agent.
The following requirements shall apply for Purchaser's inspection at the Supplier's mill, factory, yard,
warehouse, or subtier supplier's facilities.
19000.1.5.1 Access. The Purchaser’s representative shall have the right to access the Supplier's and
subtier supplier's work and related documents during the manufacturing process without delaying the
schedule. The Supplier shall provide, without cost, reasonable facilities including tools, personnel, and
instruments for demonstrating acceptability of the work.
19000.1.5.2 Surveillance Activities. In accordance with the contract documents, designated hold
points for witnessing, mill and/or factory tests shall be performed in the presence of the Purchaser's
representative unless waived in writing by the Purchaser's representative. The Supplier shall bear all
costs for such tests, except the compensation and expense of the Purchaser's representative.
19000.1.5.3 Control of Special Processes. It is Supplier's responsibility to ensure that qualified
personnel are employed to perform special processes such as welding, nondestructive examination
(NDE), coating, painting, etc. If special processes are conducted by unqualified employees, the

The Supplier shall be able to demonstrate the qualifications of personnel in writing.
19000.1.5.4 Corrective Action. Upon identification of a noncompliance with the requirements of the
contract documents, the Supplier shall document the noncompliance issue. For noncompliance issues
where the nonconforming characteristic can be restored to a condition such that the capability of an item
to function reliably and safely is unimpaired, even though that item still does not conform to the original
requirement, the Supplier shall submit the noncompliance to the Purchaser for approval. During witness
and hold point activities, if the Purchaser's representative identifies a noncompliance issue, the Supplier
shall document the noncompliance issue and provide a copy of the documentation to the Purchaser's representative. If the Supplier disagrees and does not document the noncompliance, the Purchaser's
representative shall issue a corrective action report to the Supplier for disposition and action. The
Supplier shall correct, in a timely manner, all deficiencies identified in the corrective action report.
19000.1.5.5 Rejection. If any items or articles are identified that do not meet the requirements of the
contract documents, the lot, or any faulty portion thereof, may be rejected. Before offering specified
materials or equipment for shipment, the Supplier shall inspect the material and equipment and eliminate
any items that are defective or do not meet the requirements of the contract documents. The fact that
equipment or materials have been previously inspected, tested, and accepted does not relieve the
Supplier of responsibility in the case of later discovery of flaws or defects.
19000.1.5.6 Receipt Inspection
Materials or equipment purchased under these contract documents may be inspected at the specified
receiving points and will either be accepted or rejected. Receipt inspection will include testing to
determine compliance with the contract documents. Initial receipt inspection acceptance tests will be
performed by the Purchaser at the Purchaser's expense. Items found to be defective may be returned to
the Supplier for correction at the Supplier's expense, including shipping cost, or the cost to correct and
inspect the item will be charged to the Supplier.
