SUBJECT

October 24, 2020 Proposed Power Service Interruption Notification

Please be advised:

In continuing the preparation for the new parking structure in Lot 13, it will be necessary to perform electrical power work on the campus high voltage system in the project area. This work will require the following:



  *   Two (2) buildings to experience several service interruptions (listed below) lasting less than 5 minutes in duration.
  *   Additional buildings (listed below) may potentially experience service interruptions lasting less than 5 minutes in duration.
  *   The proposed date of Saturday, October 24, 2020 was selected due to the scope and safety considerations required for this work, as it is preferred to be performed during a time period when power usage is at its lowest and campus business operations are closed.
  *   It is our goal to limit interruptions related to this electrical project. Facilities Services staff will be onsite to ensure all power returns to normal. Buildings with back-up generators will support fire and life safety systems and E-power circuits only.

Proposed Date: Saturday, October 24, 2020. Total duration of work 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
