The switchgear at City Hall (1400 Fifth Avenue) is over 50 years old and is past its usable life. In addition, the existing transformer and service to City Hall are not complaint with current PG&E standards and will need to be upgraded as part of this project. The City plans to install solar panels at City Hall and has determined that it is necessary to replace (and most likely relocate) the existing switchgear and transformer prior installation.
The work described in the Request For Proposals (RFP) includes the design and preparation of construction contract documents and design support during construction for the replacement of the switchgear at City Hall. In addition the selected consultant will assist the City with coordination with PG&E to relocate its transformer and the primary and secondary conduit routes.
