Q55: Electrical –

The spec calls for the following work to be done in this item:

The pump shall be supplied via a motor controller featuring overload protection sized for the motor, and a local control, Square D 2510FG1, or equal.

Square D 2510FG1 and the motor controller will both have overload protection for this single phase motor. If you have a local start stop button on the controller you would not need the Square D 2510FG1 control switch.

Is there a reason why the County wants dual protection in this starting circuit?

A55: Yes, please proceed.

Q56: Mechanical–

The text of the specification indicates that one (1) pump is to be supplied and installed. The referenced drawing (dwg. # 19105-256-1) depicts installation of two (2) bilge/fire pumps. Are we to tie into existing pump and install one (1) new pump or install two (2) new pumps?

A56: Refer to page 61, Exhibit E. Plan 2-3C of drawing 19105-256-1 depicts the one pump to be added, for sea water cooling of the stern tube seal bearings. Plan 2-3A depicts the two fire/bilge pumps, which are existing. Tie in to the existing piping at the threaded connection.

Q57: Mechanical–

Can we have photos of where the pump(s) are to be installed?

A57: Install the pump on the existing foundation near midship.

Figure 28-B: PUMP NEAR MIDSHIP

Q58: Mechanical–

The motor spec below calls for a 1hp 1800 120V 1phase TEFC motor. This Ampco pump uses a 143JM frame motor which is not available in a 1hp single phase TEFC.
