subject
1. This memorandum is for your information only and is a
periodic report as requested by the reference.
2. In the matter of the 2 - 2000 KW emergency generators,
General Electric is presently preparing a cost and time estimate of
the work that will be involved in modifying the metering and controls
to allow us to operate in parallel with the commercial power sour-:e
(VEPCO). These estimates should be available the week of 3 October.
The installation is not expected to be finished until the third week in
February 1967.
3. We have received comments from the Engineering Staff, Office
of Communications, on our preliminary feasibility study for modifi-
cations to the uninterrupted power supply at the Headquarters building.
The Office of Communications indicated that the existing 200 KW (UPS)
emergency generator is to be abandoned and that eventually automatic
start (20 - 30 seconds) diesel electric generator sets are to be used
for standby power in a different location. This office is presently con-
sidering several sites for the location of these units. A scope of work
is being prepared to be used in preparing the drawings and specifications
to accomplish these changes.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Assistant Deputy Director fo:? Support
SUBJECT : Emergency Power fort ;ency Headquarters
REFERENCE Memo dtd 26 April '_)5 to D/L fr ADD/S, same
subject
1. This memorandum is for your information only and is a
periodic report as requested by the reference.
2. The scheme for the proposed operation of the 2 - 2000
KW emergency generators in parallel with commercial power sources
was reviewed by General Electric, VEPOO, and CTA Engineers on
7 September 1966. The final scheme has been -formalized and agreed
upon. Mr. Merle Sutter, GE Engineer, will siimuit a cost and time
estimate for this modification on or about 1 )ctober 1966. VEPCO
will submit to the General Services Arlriiinistration a proposed revi3ion
to the contract for the purchase of electric Gower to reflect this
changed operation. The necessary instruments and relays required
to accomplish the tie in of these emergency generators with the
commercial power source are scarce it;mns proc~zrement-wise. Due to
the long procurement lead time of these items, the work will
commence approximately 1 February 1967. After receipt of these
items, it will require about two weeks to make these modifications.
3. The Engineering Staff, Office of Co 1unications, has
indicated that they have finished the review of our preliminary
feasibility study for modifications to the uninterrupted power
supply at the Headquarters building. We will proceed with the
final draft when we have received their comments.
