The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Electrical Re-Feed AC/East/West From CRB in Gimbel - 150203834 Introduction to MD Anderson MD Anderson is known throughout the world for high-quality cancer care, research, academic programs and prevention services. Since its establishment in 1941, MD Anderson has made major contributions to improve the outlook for cancer patients everywhere. MD Anderson was one of the first three federally designated comprehensive cancer centers by the National Cancer Act of 1971. A survey of health professionals has routinely ranked MD Anderson as one of the two premier cancer centers in the nation for the past eight years. Over 55,000 persons annually seek care at MD Anderson. The team approach to cancer care, pioneered at MD Anderson, has been strengthened by consolidating specialty clinics into multi-disciplinary care centers that allow patients to receive more ambulatory care and treatment in a single location. MD Anderson offers one of the largest bone marrow and stem cell transplantation programs, as well as clinical trials to improve existing therapies. Teams of clinical specialists collaborate with scientists on problems of common interest and test theories that shorten the application of better treatment methods. Translational research studies are responsible for the promising field of chemoprevention, which uses synthetic vitamins to reverse pre-malignant lesions and halt the recurrence of some cancers, and for innovative gene therapy strategies being evaluated for several forms ofcancer. With faculty and staff working in more than 30 buildings in the greater Houston area and in central Texas, MD Anderson is the largest freestanding cancer center in the world. The physical plant covers more than 11 million square feet, featuring the latest equipment and facilities to support growing needs in outpatient and inpatient care, research, prevention and education. It includes inpatient hospital facilities with 571 beds. Construction projects include the addition of 12 floors that can accommodate more than 300 new inpatient beds in Alkek Hospital on the North Campus; two new research buildings on the South Campus that will house the Center for Advanced Biomedical Imaging Research and Center for Targeted Therapy as part of the McCombs Institute; and MD Anderson's first facility on its Mid Campus, a 25-story building to support current office space and future growth needs. In addition to its main campus in the Texas Medical Center and two research campuses in Bastrop County, Texas, MD Anderson has developed a number of local, national and international affiliations RFx Overview A pre-submittal conference will be held on 8/10/2015, 1:00 PM local time, at Fannin/Holcombe Building, 6900 Fannin, Suite FHB9.1085, Houston, TX 77030. All electrical loads in the Owner’s Anderson Central, Anderson East, and Anderson West buildings are currently served from 480Y/277V distribution equipment located in the Anderson Central Boiler Room. The existing distribution equipment is original to the building and is at the end of its useful life. In addition, the Boiler Room is located below grade and in the past has been subject to flooding. As a result of these issues, new 480Y/277V switchgear was installed in 2003 to serve loads in the Gimbel building and in anticipation of providing power to the Anderson Central/East/West buildings. The new switchgear is located on the second floor of the Gimbel Mechanical building which is located north and west of the Anerson Central building. The current Anderson de-couple project will disconnect all of the normal and emergency power that serves loads in Anderson Central/East/West from the Anderson Boiler Room equipment and connect them to the Gimbel mechanical normal and emergency power switchgear. New conduit and conductors will be installed from the Gimbel Mechanical switchgear, across the roof of the Alkek Park facility, up the exterior walls and routed to various locations within Anderson Central/East/West for reconnection to existing loads. Two new switchboards will also be installed in Anderson Central/East/West to facilitate the reconnection to existing loads.
