M MOTT MACDONALD Mr. Leonard R. Lepore Municipal Engineer Director of Public Works Township of West Orange 25 Lakeside Ave. West Orange, NJ 07052 Your Reference HMGP-DR-4086-NJ-436 R 111 Wood Avenue South Iselin NJ 08830-4112 United States of America T #1 (800) 832 3272 F +4 (973) 376 1072 www.moltmac.com/americas Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Township of West Orange Standby Power Generators for Three Township Facilities March 30, 2018 Dear Mr. LePore: Mott MacDonald (MM) wishes to thank you again for the opportunity to provide this proposal to Provide Engineering Design and Contract Documents for Three Emergency Power Generators for three separate facilities in the Township of West Orange. It is our understanding that the Township is in the Process of securing HGMP funding for this project and that the cost for procurement and installation of the new generators as well as professional engineering services are eligible for reimbursement by FEMA. Accordingly, Mott MacDonald (MM) is pleased to provide you this professional design, bid and construction engineering phase services proposal so that the project can be designed, bid and constructed. Understanding of Proposed Work Given the foregoing, the Township desires the following: West Orange Municipal Building, 66 Main Street During the funding process, Mott MacDonald and the Township preliminarily sized the generator at 175 KW based upon the available information at that time. This sizing can be confirmed once we have confirmed electrical demand from utility billing. Due to the power requirements of the facility, it is recommended that a natural gas system be installed. The existing gas service for the building will be utilized or upgraded as needed. In addition to the foregoing, the building electrical service would require modifi- cations to allow for backup power. Installation of a new automatic transfer switch (ATS) is necessary ahead of the main power distribution panel for the building. The existing power distribution pane! appears adequate to locate the new transfer switch and install the new conduit connection between the ATS and the existing power panel. The new generator will be located on the South side of the building on a new reinforced concrete pad foundation, similar to the concept prepared for HMGP. The generator would be a “non-Walk-In” style enclosure, sound

M MOTT M MACDONALD Township Ordinances for noise and would have a series of access doors as provided by the generator manufacturer. As discussed, unless applicable codes dictate otherwise, an access platform is not proposed to be included for this site, In addition to the above, the only other site improvements will be trench restoration of disturbed pavement or lawn areas, installation of bollards and pavement markings immediately adjacent to the generator. Fire House #2 (84 Washington Street) Proposed Improvements Also during the funding process, the Township requested funding for a generator for the Fire House #2. The generator was sized at 75 KW. MM's recommendation is to install the transfer switch inside the building in an electric room where the utility main service entrance will be located. This can be determined firm once we have received updated architectural and engineering plans for the building. Similar to the Municipal Building and due to the power requirements of the facility, it is recommended that a natural gas fueled system be installed. The current concept plan shows that the new generator could be located South of the building in a grass area adjacent to the vehicle driveway for the Fire Station. This generator would also be placed on a new reinforced concrete pad foundation. The generator would be a "non-Walk-In” style enclosure, sound attenuated to meet Township Ordinances for noise and would have a series of access doors as provided by the generator manufacturer. An access platform is not proposed to be included for this site. In addition to the above, the only other site improvements will be trench restoration of disturbed pavement or lawn areas, installation of bollards and pavement markings immediately adjacent to the generator. Fire House #3 (82 Ridgeway Avenue) Proposed Improvements Also during the funding process, the Township requested funding for a generator for the Fire House #2. The generator was sized at 25 KW. MM's recommendation is to install the transfer switch inside the building in the electric room where the utility main service entrance is located. This can be confirmed once we have surveyed and prepared plans for the building. Similar to the Municipal Building and due to the power requirements of the facility, it is recommended that a natural gas fueled system be installed, The current concept plan
