SUBJECT
Updated Date: Pending Multiple Building Power Shutdown for Saturday 02-27-21
Please be advised:

In an effort to integrate new power switches into existing electrical circuits, it will be necessary to perform electrical work on the campus high voltage system in the project area on Saturday, February 27, 2021 at 12:00 a.m. (midnight) - 5:00 a.m. This work will require the following:


  *   The original proposed shutdown date of 02/20/21 has been updated to Saturday, February 27, 2021 and 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.
  *   Multiple buildings (listed below) to experience two service interruptions lasting less than 90 minutes in duration.
  *   Additional buildings (listed below) to experience one service interruptions lasting less than 5 minutes in duration.
  *   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.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS
The following buildings will experience TWO service interruptions lasting up to a half hour (30 minutes) in duration.
·        The first service interruption will occur during the transition to generator power and the second interruption transferring service from generator power back to main power.
·        A generator will be located at the project worksite to provide backup power to the main electrical circuits that supply these buildings during the service interruption.
