DATE MATERIALS NEEDED AND EVALUATION
Delivery time preferred by PREPA for this equipment is within 300 calendar days after the supplier
receives the order. Nevertheless, PREPA will consider quotations with delivery offers up to a
maximum of 330 calendars days after receipt of order.
Quotations with delivery times within the preferred delivery date will be considered on an equal
basis. Quotations exceeding the maximum delivery, as stated above, will be rejected. Quotations
with delivery times between the preferred delivery time and the maximum allowed delivery time will
be evaluated using the following formula and will be compared on that basis for bid award:
EQ = QP [1 + K (DO - DP)] + Life Cycle Cost

DP
Where: EQ = Evaluated Quotation

QP = Quoted price
DO = Delivery offered (Calendar Days)
DP = Delivery preferred (Calendar Days)
DO = Greater than DP
K = Variable percentage factor = 25% for this bid
Unless otherwise noted, delivery times shorter than the preferred will be accepted but no credit will
be given in the evaluation of the bid.
Failure to comply with the delivery date offered by the successful bidder shall make the vendor liable
in the quantity specified under the "Penalty Clause" section.
STANDARD WARRANTY
The contractor warrants the Authority that the equipment provided hereunder will be free from
defects in workmanship for a period of twenty four ( 24 ) months from the date when the
substation under this agreement is energized and/or thirty six ( 36 ) months after substation is
received by the Authority, whichever comes first. This warranty is issued provided the Authority
has operated the equipment in accordance with generally approved industry practices and any
written instructions provided by the contractor, and further provided that the Authority notify the
contractor in writing as soon as the defect occurs.
PENALTY CLAUSE
If the contractor fails to comply with the delivery (s) established in the Contracts, the contractor shall
pay PREPA a penalty of $1,500.00 dollars for each calendar day of delay in making the delivery up
to a maximum of 5% of the contract price. The contractor and his sureties shall be liable for the
amount thereof; PROVIDED, the contractor shall not be liable to such amount when the delay in
delivery is due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control, and without the fault or negligence of the
contractor. In case of delay, the Head of the Materials Management Division shall ascertain the facts
and extent of the delay, and extend the time for delivery when, in his judgment, the findings of facts
justify such an extension.
PREPA shall received the payment of penalty or will withhold the amount of the penalty for delay in
delivery. Contractor agrees that such penalty should not be subject to reduction, moderation, or
modification, since this penalty is a pecuniary punishment for the delay, and not a liquidation of
damages.
Bidders should clearly state in his proposal the acceptance of this clause; however, bidder's silence
on this regard shall be understood to mean full acceptance of the clause and all of its terms.
Rejection or no acceptance of this clause will be cause for rejection of bidder's proposal.
The contractor must send PREPA a written acknowledgment of the order.
In case the contractor fails to send the acknowledgment, this clause will be activated commencing
two weeks from the date of PREPA's written request or order.
United States Post Office postmark dates on mail, or any other means of acknowledgment approved
by PREPA, will be used in the determination of the periods of time stated in this clause.

disconnect switches.
3.8 The following SCADA functions shall be provided for PREPA RTU connection:
3.8.1 Remote trip and close (capacitor trip device type mechanism requires auxiliary
interposing relays at breaker control cabinet).
3.8.2 Reclosing relay on-off control and status indication.

3.8.3 Ground relay on-off control and status indication.
3.8.4 A DC current signal from Phase A of +/- 1.0 mA.
3.8.5 Breaker status indication.
3.8.6 Underfrequency relay on-off control, status indication and trip alarm.
3.8.7 Separated failure alarms for both protective and control systems.
3.9 Schematic and wiring of the breaker must provide for the following:
3.9.1 Customer provided 86T contacts to trip the breaker.
3.9.2 Customer provided 81X contacts to trip the breaker.
3.9.3 Customer provided 86T and 81X contacts for blocking the closing function.
3.10 PREPA requires one (1) set of three (3) MRBCT, C200 accuracy, on the source side for
feeder protection. One (1) additional set of three (3) MRBCT, C200 accuracy, on the
load side for transformer differential protection is required. The entire CT taps shall be
provided wired to individual shorting type terminal blocks. Also, the CT taps and ratios
shall be clearly described on its nameplate.
3.11 The reclosing relay function shall be left inoperative automatically when a local or
remote trip order is given. However, the mechanism shall reset automatically whenever
a remote or local close order is given, even following a manual trip order. The auxiliary
relay for these features shall be provided wired to the control circuit.
3.12 Any interconnection signal shall be easily accessed at a numbered terminal block.
3.13 The control cabinet shall be furnished with manual rotary selector switches to locally
enable / disable the following functions. These switches shall apply for both
protection and control systems.
3.13.1 Reclosing relay (79) on-off.
3.13.2 Ground relay (50N / 51N) on-off.

3.13.3 Underfrequency relay (81) on-off.
3.14 Both protection and control systems shall be immune to radiophone frequency band of
(144- 455) MHz and (860-895) MHz for Cellular telephones to avoid misoperation.
