AGENDA TITLE-, Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement
with Power Engineers, Inc. for engineering services for the Killelea Substation reconstruction
project and appropriate funds ($295,000.00) (EUD)
MEETING DATE: August 6, 2003
SUBMITTED Y: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional
services agreement with Power Engineer's Inc. for engineering services for
the Killelea Substation reconstruction project and appropriate hands in the
amount of $295,000.00T
ACKGROUNQ INFORMATION: The Killelea Substation was constructed in 1965. The 12 kV section is a
metal clad type enclosed switchgear. The manufacturer of this equipment is
no longer in business making parts extremely difficult to locate. .The design
of this switchgear is such that a failure of one portion of the insulated bus
likely would escalate throughout the entire switchgear making a failure catastrophic resulting in a total. loss of the
station. The age and condition of the insulating material makes the likelihood of a failure greater with each passing
year. The 60 kV bus structure was the interconnection facility as well as the main 60 kV distribution structure prior to
the construction of Industrial Substation, A large portion of this structure is no longer needed and adds unnecessary
exposure to the City's electric system. This substation was expected to be phased out of service with the construction
of Industrial Substation. However, with the significant industrial growth on the east side of the City this station will
remain a necessary and vital park of the City's electric system and will require reconstruction to remain a reliable and
dependable substation.
The existing 38 ft. tall lattice steel 60 kV structure, originally constructed to serve as the City's main 60 kV distribution
facility, will be removed and replaced with three individual 27 ff. tall tubular steel support structures, appearing much
like an inverted "U". The neva 60 kV bus will also be located farther away from the perimeter of the station: to increase
operating flexibility, improve safety and minimize the visual impact. The 12 kV bus will be low profile open bus similar
to the busses in the other substations. A recent evaluation of the two power transformers, originally thought to be
suitable for reuse, has shown replacement to be the most economical option. Funding for the replacement was
included in the 2003-05 Financial Plan and Budget.
This project also includes the addition of two 60 kV power circuit breakers and associated equipment at Industrial
Substation. These circuit breakers will increase the switching capability and in tura improve service reliability. One of
the circuit breakers will connect Killelea Substation to the City's transmission system like Henning arid McLane
Substations. The other circuit breaker will connect the third and recently upgraded supply line from the PG&E system
:dent€cally to the two other supply lines. These circuit breakers were not installed when Industrial Substation was
originally constructed, because it appeared at the time that Killelea Substation would be phased out and that the third
line would not be upgraded.
