GOC990505-CS-2 - Electrical Grounding System Investigation

The Building Condition Report dated March 16, 2016 completed by Alcaide Webster Architects Inc. has indicated that the facility grounding system is forty three (43) years old and is approaching the end of normal service life of forty five (45) years. The system is described to be in fair to good condition and with no existing ongoing issues. BGIS would like to retain the services of a qualified consultant to investigate to determine if the service life of the system could be extended and provide a stamped and bound report.
Consultant shall utilize practical test methods and techniques for measuring the electrical characteristics of the grounding system and associated ground connections. Consultant to provide detailed comprehensive report that must establish (but not limited to) earth resistivity, impedance of the ground system, measuring the transient or surge impedance of the ground system, measuring step and touch voltages and verifying the integrity of the overall grounding system. Consultant must investigate all deficiencies including locating the source of problems and clearly identify them in the report and provide corrective actions. Consultant must include a schematic as part of the report that indicates test locations. Consultant shall also review existing preventative maintenance processes that are in place at the facility for the various grounding systems and provide maintenance recommendation, including future tests and safety considerations that the site must undertake. Consultant shall include a Class D estimate for all deficiencies as well as recommendations identified in the report.
There is a report completed in July 2018 by Kroon electric testing the ground cables on 20 transformers. This testing does not need to be redone but the results must be interpreted.
