manner which will prevent damage or distortion to the motor during loading,
shipment, unloading, indoor storage, and subsequent handling. Weatherproof
covers shall be provided as necessary to protect the motor during shipment.
Any eyebolts, special slings, strongbacks, or other devices used in
loading the equipment at the manufacturer's plant shall be furnished for
unloading and handling at the destination and shall become the property of
the Government.
1.5.1
Impact Recorder
Each motor shall be shipped with a three-way temporary impact recorder to
measure magnitude and direction of longitudinal (Y), lateral (X), and
vertical (Z) impacts suffered during shipment. If the recorder indicates
impacts equal to or greater than those determined by the Contractor prior
to shipment for any of the three directions specified herein, Contractor
shall inspect and test motor to determine extent of damage, if any, and
shall repair or replace any damaged equipment.
1.5.2
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The designer will include this paragraph only
when there is no available Government storage. The
designer should also investigate storage to be used
by the installation Contractor and the possibility
of making this a requirement under the installation
contract.
**************************************************************************
The Contractor shall, at no cost to the Government, store all equipment
provided under this contract for [_____] [days] [months]. The storage site
shall be subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer and shall meet
the manufacturer's recommendations for indoor storage. The equipment will
be subject to periodic inspection by the Government to ensure that proper
storage conditions are maintained.

MOTORS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: For weak source (high thevenin source
impedance), the electric utility shall be contacted
to determine starting restrictions, maximum inrush,
or voltage dip limits. This is especially critical
for motors over 100 hp. The designer shall then
perform a motor torque and accelerating time study
(MTATS) to evaluate the motor starting torque and
voltage dip requirement. The selection of a reduced
voltage starter shall then be based on the electric
utility requirements and the motor pump arrangement.
**************************************************************************
The motors to be supplied under these specifications shall be of the
vertical [solid] [hollow] shaft type as required by the pump manufacturer,
with direct-connected brushless exciter, designed for full voltage
starting, of drip-proof construction, [complete with antireversing ratchet
or backstop device], and shall conform to the applicable requirements of
NEMA MG 1, except as hereinafter specified.
