2.1.8 Jacket water heater

2.1.9 (Not Used)

2.1.10 Definitions - The following definitions apply for the purpose of
this procurement and any resulting contract:

Continuous Load - A load in which maximum current is anticipated for
three hours or more in accordance with the continuous duty cycle, as
defined by NFPA-70. Continuous Duty Rating - A duty rating, equivalent
to a load equal to one hundred percent of the genset nameplate rating
for a duration of more than three hours.

Prime Rating - A duty rating, equivalent to seventy percent of the
genset nameplate rating, for a continuous period of 12 hours. A prime
rated generator is required to safely support the load, in the absence
of city power, for an indefinite period. While it is recognized that
over a 24 hour, operational load cycle, period the load variation may be
considerable, this rating permits the maximum continuous load and
duration to be addressed in the genset selection process.

Overload Rating - This is defined as satisfactory operation at a load of
110 percent of the nameplate rating, for a period of two hours.

[2.2 ALTERNATOR]{.underline}

2.2.1 The alternator shall be a multi-pole revolving field type, wired
for 220/127v, 3 phase, 60 HZ, 4 wire, with a brushless, static exciter.
Generators shall be prime rated as shown in Table I. The stator shall be
directly connected to the engine flywheel to ensure permanent alignment.
The generator shall meet temperature rise standards for class \"F\"
varnish and conform to MIL-I-24092, Type \"M\" class 155. All leads
shall be extended into the AC connected panel. The alternator shall be
protected by internal thermal overload protection and an automatic reset
field circuit breaker. One step load acceptance shall be 100% of
nameplate kW rating and meet the requirements of NFPA 110, paragraph
5-13.2.6.

2.2.2 The engine-generator set shall be so designed that voltage dip
upon application of nameplate full load shall not exceed 12.5% with
recovery to stable operation within 2 seconds. The generator set and
regulator shall sustain at least 90% of no load voltage for 30 seconds
with 250% of rated load at near zero power factor connected to its
terminals.

2.2.3 The solid state voltage regulator shall control output voltage by
varying the exciter magnetic field to provide plus or minus 1%
regulation during stable load conditions. The regulator shall have a
voltage droop characteristic of 4 volts per cycle to maximize motor

AMENDED (AUG 1999)

\(a\) Section 8(a) of the U.S. Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended (50 U.S.C. 2407(a)), prohibits compliance by U.S. persons with
any boycott fostered by a foreign country against a country which is
friendly to the United States and which is not itself the object of any
form of boycott pursuant to United States law or regulation. The Boycott
of Israel by Arab League countries is such a boycott, and therefore, the
following actions, if taken with intent to comply with, further, or
support the Arab League Boycott of Israel, are prohibited activities
under the Export Administration Act:

\(1\) Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to do business
with or in Israel, with any Israeli business concern, or with any
national or resident of Israel, or with any other person,

pursuant to an agreement of, or a request from or on behalf of a
boycotting country;

national origin of any U.S. person or of any owner, officer, director,
or employee of such U.S. person;

\(4\) Furnishing information about whether any person has, has had, or
proposes to have any business relationship (including a relationship by
way of sale, purchase, legal or commercial representation, shipping or
other transport, insurance, investment, or supply) with or in the State
of Israel, with any business concern organized under the laws of the
State of Israel, with any Israeli national or resident, or with any
person which is known or believed to be restricted from having any
business relationship with or in Israel;

\(5\) Furnishing information about whether any person is a member of,
has made contributions to, or is otherwise associated with or involved
in the activities of any charitable or fraternal organization which
supports the State of Israel; and,

\(6\) Paying, honoring, confirming, or otherwise implementing a letter
of credit which contains any condition or requirement against doing
business with the State of Israel.

\(b\) Under Section 8(a), the following types of activities are not
forbidden \`\`compliance with the boycott,\'\' and are therefore
exempted from Section 8(a)\'s prohibitions listed in paragraphs
(a)(1)-(6) above:

\(1\) Complying or agreeing to comply with requirements:

\(i\) Prohibiting the import of goods or services from Israel or goods
produced or services provided by any business concern organized under
the laws of Israel or by nationals or residents of

Israel; or,

\(ii\) Prohibiting the shipment of goods to Israel on a carrier of
Israel, or by a route other than that prescribed by the boycotting
country or the recipient of the shipment;

\(2\) Complying or agreeing to comply with import and shipping document
requirements with respect to the country of origin, the name of the
carrier and route of shipment, the name of the supplier of the shipment
or the name of the provider of other services, except that no

requirements may be stated in negative,

blacklisting, or similar exclusionary terms, other than with respect to
carriers or route of shipments as may be permitted by such regulations
in order to comply with precautionary requirements

protecting against war risks and confiscation;

\(3\) Complying or agreeing to comply in the normal course of business
with the unilateral and specific selection by a boycotting country, or
national or resident thereof, of carriers, insurance, suppliers of
services to be performed within the boycotting country or specific goods
which, in the normal course of business, are identifiable by source when
imported into the boycotting country;

\(4\) Complying or agreeing to comply with the export requirements of
the boycotting country relating to shipments or transshipments of
exports to Israel, to any business concern of or organized under the
laws of Israel, or to any national or resident of Israel;

\(5\) Compliance by an individual or agreement by an individual to
comply with the immigration or passport requirements of any country with
respect to such individual or any member of such individual\'s family or
with requests for information regarding requirements of employment of
such individual within the boycotting country; and,

\(6\) Compliance by a U.S. person resident in a foreign country or
agreement by such person to comply with the laws of that country with
respect to his or her activities exclusively therein, and such
regulations may contain exceptions for such resident complying with the
laws or regulations of that foreign country governing imports into such
country of trademarked, trade named, or similarly specifically
identifiable products, or components of products for his or her own use,
including the performance of contractual services within that country,
as may be defined by such regulations.
