237130 - Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction. This project will replace the main underwater high voltage cable and multiple transformer boxes that run from the mainland to the Kettle Falls district. Pad-mounted switchgear, sectionalizing enclosures, elbow terminations, as well as individual and other associated components will be replaced as needed. An improved level of emergency backup generation for critical loads at Kettle Falls Area will be installed. Due to the compromised neutral wire, this poses a serious safety risk to visitors as well as employees. The neutral serves as a ground for the cable, and as more lightning strikes occur the chances of someone being struck increase. Secondly when power goes out facilities are forced to be closed such as restrooms, showers, and the restaurant. There is also a food safety factor at the restaurant due to the freezers and coolers loss of power. This has potential for food to develop bacteria that could lead to sickness of visitors. The Fire suppression system pumps are run by electricity; therefore, if there is no power then there is no fire protection for the Historic hotel. This jeopardizes the visitor's safety as well as the historic building. The new backup generator would allow the concession to continue to stay operational in the event of a power outage
