The ASPA seeks to identify and select a qualified PROPOSER capable of providing an energy related capital improvement services by upgrading Lighting Systems at the Main Docks’ facilities as listed in Attachment F of this RFP.
A. PROJECT OVERVIEW - The ASPA is interested in contracting for Lighting Energy Upgrade
Improvements (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”) designed to reduce energy and related costs at its Main Docks facility. These improvements are to be delivered on a Performance Contracting basis or as an optional Lump Sum Contract with Guranteed Savings that will allow the ASPA to:
1. Incur no initial capital cost,
2. Achieve significant long-term savings that are measureable and verifiable,
3. Obtain an Annual Savings Guarantee that will be equal to or greater than the total Annual Project Costs,
4. Obtain consistent levels of occupant comfort, safety, and systems functionality,
5. Capture environmental benefits such as reductions in CO2 and NOx oemisions, and hazardous materials
requiring specialized disposal, and
6. Finance the Project through an installment payment or a lease-purchase arrangement over an extended Contract term based upon or a optional Contracted Lump Sum Amount to be invoiced Monthly as the Project progresses. Both Options shall be included in Proposal.
7. New Light Fixture Upgrades shall be on a One-for-One Light Fixture Replacement Basis in order to Reuse Existing Lighting Circuits to minimize costs and avoid disrupting Port Operations as much as possible.
8. Scheduling will be coordinated in detail prior to any work being performed in each area with ASPA Project Manager in order to allow access for performing work and avoid disrupting Port Operations.
9. This project shall be Turn Key and all equipment, work, and costs shall be included in Proposal’s Costs. This includes modifications required for reusing existing Circuits’ Voltages. Any modifications required shall be specified in Proposal for each location that requires this type of work and all costs included. See Proposal Table for existing voltages.
The ASPA seeks to maximize actual energy savings and related improvements within the framework of the allowable Maximum Five (5) Year Contract Payback Term and must comply with the statutory provisions for available financing as contained in the Code of Alabama 1975. If the Lump Sum Contract Option is selected, payment will be paid Monthly based upon actual equipment installed in place and functioning as specified as the Project proceeds.
Actual Guaranteed Savings will be taken into account to adjust payment amounts accordingly as the project proceeds.

1.08 MEASUREMENTS
A. Contractor shall base all measurements both horizontal and vertical from established benchmarks. All work shall agree with these established lines and levels. Contractor shall verify all measurements at site and check the correctness as related to the work. Should the Contractor discover any discrepancy between actual measurements and those indicated, which prevent following good practice and the intent of the Contract Drawings and Specifications, he shall notify the Engineer and shall not proceed with his work until he has received instructions from the Engineer.
1.09 DRAWINGS
A. Drawings are diagrammatic and indicate the general arrangement of systems and work included in the Contract. Contractor shall follow drawings in laying out work, check drawings of all trades to verify spaces in which work will be installed and maintain maximum headroom and space conditions at all points. Where headroom or space conditions appear inadequate, the Engineer shall be notified before proceeding with installation. If directed by the Engineer the Contractor shall, without extra charge, make reasonable modifications in the layout as needed to prevent conflict with work of various trades or for the proper execution of the work. Where variances occur between the Contract Drawings and the
Electrical Specifications Page 3 of 55
Specifications, or within either document itself, then the item or arrangement of better quality, greater quantity, or higher cost shall be included in the Contract price. The Engineer shall decide on the item and manner in which the work shall be installed.
1.10 COOPERATION
A. Contractor shall require full cooperation between trades and shall furnish (in writing, with copies to Engineer) any information necessary to permit the work of all trades to be installed satisfactorily and with least possible interference or delay. Where the work of one Subcontractor will be installed in close proximity to work of other trades, or where there is evidence that the work of the one will interfere with work of others, he shall assist in working out space conditions to make a satisfactory adjustment. If so directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall prepare composite working drawings and sections at a suitable scale not less than 1/4 inch equals 1 foot 0 inches clearly showing how his work is to be installed in relation to the work of other trades or so as not to cause any interference with work of other trades, he shall make necessary changes in his work to correct the condition without extra charge.

A. Contractor shall protect the work and material of all trades from damage by his work or workmen and shall make good all damage thus caused. Contractor shall be responsible for work and equipment until finally inspected, tested, and accepted; protect work against theft, injury or damage; and carefully store materials and equipment received on site which are not immediately installed. He shall close open ends of work with temporary covers of plugs during construction to prevent entry of obstructive material.
1.12 SEQUENCING AND SCHEDULING
A. Work sequence can become very critical in renovation projects, particularly when the ASPA and its Tenants occupy adjacent areas and existing distribution and branch circuit systems are to be reused. The sequence of work under these
conditions is dependent on existing wiring configuration; inappropriate sequences may be difficult and costly.
B. Construct work in accordance with Special Provisions.
C. The ASPA and its Tenants shall be informed of the installation schedule to allow
sufficient time for inspection without any work delay.
D. All work shall be coordinated with existing work, work by other trades, and ongoing building operations.

B. Substitutions: Where the Contractor proposes to use an item of equipment other than that specified or detailed on the Contract Drawings, which requires any redesign of the structure, (piping, wiring, of any other part of the mechanical, electrical or architectural layout) all such redesign and all new drawings and detailing required shall, with the approval of the Engineer, be prepared by the Contractor at his own expense. Where such approved deviation requires a different quantity and arrangement of wiring, conduit, and equipment from that specified or indicated on the Contract Drawings, with the approval of the Engineer, the Contractor shall furnish and install any such structural supports, mounts, controllers, electrical wiring, and conduit and any other additional equipment required by the system, at no additional cost to the ASPA.
