CONSTRUCTION STATEMENT OF WORK Date: September 13, 2025 Project Number: 556-24-113 Project Name: Oil Transformer and Switch Enclosure Upgrade (GC) Location: Captain James A. Lovell FHCC 3001 Green Bay Rd, North Chicago, IL 60064 Part 1: Project Scope of Work Overview: Contractor shall provide all tools, materials, labor, quality assurance, and supervision for renovations resulting in a complete, compliant, and fully-functional project. Replace medium voltage oil-filled transformers that serve the following buildings on the James A. Lovell FHCC campus: 1, 3, 9, 11, 66, 137 and 187. Transformers have 4160 volt primary and 208/120 volt secondary. There are (4) transformers rated for 150 KVA, (2) transformers rated for 300 KVA and (1) transformer rated for 750 KVA. The 150 KVA transformer at building 3 will need to be relocated as well. Replace the electrical distribution switchboard at building 137. Replace the electrical distribution switchboard at building 3. Replace concrete pads for medium voltage oil filled transformers at buildings 9, 66, and 187. New transformer location at building 3 requires a new concrete pad as well. Install anti-ram rated bollards at all transformers. Part 2: Period of Performance: The following model presents the summary logic of the milestone sequence working backward from the delivery date of the longest lead time in the critical path to determine a mobilization date, and then forward from the delivery date of the longest lead time to completion of all work. Listed milestones and phases (calendar days): Notice To Proceed Day 0 Division 01 Submissions Completed Day 14 Division 01 VA Reviews Day 35 Division 02+ Submissions Day 50 Division 02+ VA Reviews Day 71 Longest Lead Item Procurement Day 72 (GC to determine and submit) VA review and GC revise schedule Day 93 Mobilize and Demo Day 94 (If all pre-construction submittals were approved) Pre-Longest Lead Item Construction Day 214 (GC to determine) Longest Lead Item Delivery Date Day 215 (GC to determine) Post Long-Lead Item Construction Day 335 (GC to determine) Construction Complete and Closeouts approved Day 356 Closeout (Contract end date) Day 357 Total: 357 days reflects an example workup of the plan.
