26 32 13 Engine Generators

.01 General

1. When use of a generator is approved by Engineering Services, coordinate manufacturer, silencer type, fuel type, amount of fuel storage, and other options.
2. Equipment shall not be installed on building roof or other locations that are difficult for service and replacement.
3. 500 kW and above, discuss the use of paralleling equipment with Engineering Services, to allow for testing under load and include demand side reduction.
4. Emissions - Internal combustion engines rated at greater than 100 brake horsepower for use at the University Park campus must comply with Section (NEED TO ADD LINK) Section 01 41 00 Regulatory Requirements as well as the following:
1. Design professional must review all applicable emissions regulations including, but not limited to, Sub parts to EPA 40CFR60 and EPA 40CFR63.
2. One manufacturer should be the base bid, and the “equals” as bid alternates so that the material costs can be compared versus each engine pollutants during the bid process.  Non-responsive bidders may be eliminated from consideration.  Note that the successful bidder will be judged only partially on the cost, the emissions data will also weigh heavily in the final equipment selection.
   If the engine is to be utilized as other than a standby source, these emission limits will have to be supported by data collection.  Professional shall specify equipment to collect, record, and report such data. Discuss provisions and costs of installing CEMS (Continuous Emissions Monitor System) and CPMS (Continuous Parametric Monitoring System) equipment with Engineering Services.

.02 Guide Specifications

1. Design Professional shall carefully review and edit the guideline specifications below, adapting them as needed to achieve application-specific, fully developed specifications for each project.
2. These shall be edited using the process described in the instructions contained at the beginning of the document.  Proposed modifications shall be reviewed with OPP Engineering Services.
3. Finalized version shall be included in the project contract documents.  Use of other specifications is not acceptable.
