Mobile Cable Management System

The vendor is required to provide mobile cable management system (CMS) that can facilitate the cable connection from both the existing southern and proposed northern high-voltage shore power outlet (SPO) stations to a berthed vessel, given the location.
- The low-voltage plug-ins will not necessarily have an associated CMS, and instead will utilize a portable cable reel, however, there is a bid option for the proposed CMS to also carry low voltage cables to allow for low-voltage plug-in capability. 
- The northern SPOs will be mounted on top of a raised platform at el. 
- +13.0 navd88.
- The southern SPO is also currently at this elevation. 
- Existing east berth deck elevation is approximately +9.0’ navd88.
- Cable management system (CMS)
•    A mobile system that manages the high-voltage cable from the shore power outlet to the vessel plug-in location (the SPO is not considered part of the CMS). 
•    Mobile is further defined in section 2.b. 
•    This system includes all the elements that are required to safely transfer the required power from the shore power outlet to the electrical connection location on the berthed vessel. 
•    This may include:
o    Cable reel, spool or track, 
o    Jib crane or other device to lift the high-voltage cable the required horizontal and vertical distances to meet vessel plug-in location, 
o    Instrumentation to monitor the power flow and performance, 
o    Propulsion system,
•    The exact plug-in location for the cargo vessel class is unknown. 
•    There-fore a travel range for the CMS unit is given. 
•    The mobile CMS must be capable of positioning the high-voltage cable to the vessel plugin location for the following ranges:
o    Along quay: 150 feet in either direction from the SPO location,
o    Horizontally over the quay: 55 feet from face of wharf,
o    Vertically above or below the deck: 35 feet from top of deck
- Performance specifications
•    All proposed systems must comply with the general requirements of the international standard IEC and IEEE dis 80005-1 with the project specific exceptions.
•    The mobile CMS is to be procured for the 6.6kv and 11kv high-voltage rated SPO(s) only, with an option to be procured for both the high-voltage connection and the low-voltage connections, 
•    Mobile CMS and SPO high-voltage plugs shall be designed per the IEC 80005 standards for ro-ro vessels, 
•    Low-voltage SPO plugs shall be cam-Lok style single phase in-line connectors, 
•    If the mobile CMS is battery powered, please describe the charging requirements, 
•    System commissioning, personnel training, and ongoing maintenance shall be discussed in the bid, and included as desired, 
•    Warranty and maintenance information shall be provided, and proposers should explain their approach to commissioning the equipment plus post-installation operations and maintenance. 
•    This should detail the support needed for operations (personnel, monitoring service, tools and equipment, etc.) and include a proposed warranty period. 
•    Information on performance monitoring capabilities, if any, shall be included, 
•    All bids shall include an itemized lumpsum cost breakdown, 
•    Sketches of proposed SPO locations and existing site details are attached.
