4.2 SCOPE OF WORK - SUBSTATIONS

4.2.1 General
The Bidder shall examine the scope of works in this section in close connection with the
other documents and particulars forming these Bidding Documents.
Special attention shall be paid to General Specifications and Particular Technical

Specifications, in which the general technical requirements are specified. The drawings
enclosed in are for bidding purposes only.
If the Specifications and/or Drawings do not contain particulars of materials or goods, which
are necessary for the proper and safe completion, operation, and maintenance of the
equipment in question, all such materials shall be deemed to be included in the supply.
In the event of any conflict between the Drawings and the Specifications, the latter shall
prevail.
In the event of any conflict between scaled dimensions and figures on the Drawings, the
figures shall prevail.
Should the Bidder find discrepancies in or omissions from these Specifications or from the
other Documents, or should he be in doubt as to their meaning, he should immediately
contact the Project Manager for interpretation, clarification or correction thereof before
submitting his Bid. Such action shall, however, in no case be considered as a cause for
altering the closing date of the Bid.
The scope of work for equipment shall cover engineering design, manufacture, testing
before shipment and packing sea worthy or otherwise as required, delivery CIP site, of all
equipment as specified in the preceding chapters.
For substations contracted on turnkey basis the substation contractor shall be responsible for
design, material supply, transport, erection, and installation and commissioning as well as
having the full responsibility for civil works including design and construction of
transformer foundations and control building.
The Contractor shall design and construct the transformer foundations with oil collection pit,
oil trap and fire damper consisting of crushed stones laying on a galvanised steel grating.
Loose equipment for the Employer’s rehabilitation shall be complete with documentation
and ancillaries like programs, licences and programming tools.
Equipment that is to be dismantled and removed from existing substations is to be recovered

by the Contractor and deposited to sites within or in the immediate vicinity of each
substation. Such sites are to be designated by the Employer. The recovered equipment is to
be taken over by the Employer at these sites.
KPLC has a SCADA (Supervisory, Control & Data Acquisition) system that is controlled
from the Regional Control Centres& the National Control Centre. The National Control
Centre (NCC) is at Juja Rd and controls the entire transmission network & substations (ie
some 66kV, all 132kV, all 220kV & soon to be introduced 400kV stations.)
There are 4 regional control centres in total. These are located in the following locations;
Juja Rd (Nairobi region), Rabai (Coast region), Lessos (West Kenya region) & Kiganjo (Mt
Kenya region). These Regional Control Centres monitor & control the 11KV, 33kV & 66kV
Distribution networks &substations in their specific regions.

The Control Centres all run ABB’s Network Manager WS500 which is the software used for
monitoring & Control of all the incorporated substations. The Communication protocol
currently supported by KPLCs front end servers is ABBs PCU 400, for data telegram
exchange with Remote Terminal Units (RTUs). Whereas, the Station Control Management
Systems (SCMS) in the substations in its SCADA system are IEC 60870-5-101&IEC
60870-5-104.
The automated 132/66/33/11kV Transmission and Distribution substations will be required

to communicate with the front end server (ABB’s PCU400) via the communication
protocols outlined above. The automated sub-Station must communicate with the Regional
Control Centre under which it shall be monitored & controlled.
The interconnected KPLC’s telecommunications system is based on a backbone of SDH

STM1/4 terminal equipment, FOX 515 from ABB. A network management system (NMS)
for the telecommunication system has been installed at NCC.
