Company Overview
SDM has been in the business of testing liquid filled electrical equipment
since 1965. From that time we have served tens of thousands of customers
and have collected more customer and analytical data than anyone in our
industry. This includes millions of transformer test records on hundreds of
thousands of transformers. Our database continues to grow as we analyze
hundreds of thousands of samples annually to determine reliable life of
electrical equipment. In addition to our analytical services we also offer field
service consulting to help our customers understand their electrical
equipment problems and to understand the type of field services they require.
We also offer a variety of educational seminars and materials through our
Training and Education department (T&E). Our T&E materials and courses are
designed to help individuals better understand their electrical equipment to
prevent premature failures and unexpected power outages. Other services
offered are international engineering services to help with moisture reduction
and PCB removal.
Scope of Work Summary
SDM will provide the following services for the preventative maintenance
of your liquid filled electrical equipment which are further defined in this quote:
1. Scheduling of SDM's Mobile Diagnostic Technician.
2. Perform on-site sampling of liquid filled electrical equipment,
equipment inspection, nameplate and equipment data collection.
3. Safely ship samples to our Tallmadge, Ohio lab facility.
4. Test liquid, perform test result analysis, and provide service
recommendations.
5. Provide Transformer Dashboard website access to view test results,
analysis, recommendations, and reports.**
Scheduling
An SDM representative will contact you to schedule work. The normal
work week for SDM technicians is Monday through Friday. Weekend work
and/or specific dates must be scheduled in advance and may result in
additional charges.
Liquid Filled Electrical Equipment Sampling
SDM will provide a qualified technician, tools, supplies, and approved
containers to obtain representative samples of liquid from specified electrical
equipment. The technician will also perform a visual inspection of the
specified equipment, complete a field report and package sample containers
for shipment. The samples and field reports will be shipped to SDM
laboratory for analysis. You must provide the SDM technician with an
escort competent in the knowledge of environmental and safety regulations
pertaining to your facility, along with clear and safe access to equipment. Your
escort will also be responsible for inspecting all equipment worked on and assuring
that all valves are properly and securely closed and no leaks are present.
SDM technicians reserve the right to decline any portion of work they deem
to be hazardous or unsafe.

Quote Number 10203031
Safety
SDM provides an average of 40 hours of training per year to all of our field
technicians including, but not limited to, OSHA 10 hour General Industry
Practices, Hazwoper and NFPA 70E training. This training and proper use of
personal protective equipment prepares technicians to safely enter
substations and collect samples from most energized equipment. To further
ensure safety procedures and proper sampling procedures are adhered to,
SDM performs periodic check rides with all of our technicians.
Insurance
SDM carries various types of insurance to industry standards. If it is
necessary for you to obtain a copy of SDM's certificate of insurance please
let your SDM representative know as soon as possible to avoid any delays in
scheduling.
Waste Disposal
To collect a representative sample it is necessary to flush a volume of fluid
from the sample valve prior to collecting the sample. This fluid is classified as
waste generated by the customer. SDM technicians are not permitted to
remove waste fluid from your site. You are responsible for the proper
disposal of all waste fluids generated on site. You should consult federal and
state agencies to identify applicable regulations for proper disposal.
Sample Shipping Information
When shipping samples domestically to a laboratory, you must abide by all
regulations listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (49CFR). International
shipping must abide by IATA (International Air Transportation Association)
regulations. SDM guarantees its customers that the shipping of samples will
be in accordance with these regulations. This protects you from any spills
and or liabilities that may occur due to improper shipping.
Testing, Analysis, and Recommendations
SDM has the resources and capabilities to perform the testing listed on this
quote. Tests are performed in accordance with the methods listed on page 7
of this quote. Sample test analysis will be evaluated and a report
generated for each piece of electrical equipment tested. Reports may include
equipment nameplate data, additional equipment data, if applicable, visual
inspection data, test results, and test analysis. An Executive Recap Report of
all electrical equipment tested in this quote will also be generated to include a
summary of the equipment information, test result analysis, and service
recommendations. Lab Express results will not contain an Executive Recap
Report or any test analysis.
Rush Analysis
If you request an expedited or rush analysis, additional charges will apply
Contact your SDM representative to discuss additional charges and any
necessary arrangements for expedited or rush turnaround.

Transformer Dashboard
For most purchases, analytical data pertaining to each piece of electrical
equipment tested, including the reports listed above will be available via SDM
Transformer Dashboard at www.transformerdashboard.net. An email notification
will be sent to each individual authorized to view test results immediately after
testing is complete. The notification e-mail will provide further instructions for
accessing test results. OCR results will not be available through Transformer
Dashboard.
Health Center
SDM Health Center combines all test results with a transformer's historical
data to give each transformer a rating - At Risk, Service, Watch, or Satisfactory.
Health center will economize the amount of time you spend interpreting your owwn
test result data and help prioritize the maintenance needs of your transformer
fleet. Health Center subscription levels can be customized to transformers
deemed critical to your output or to include all transformers to better anticipate
upcoming maintenance needs. For more information, plese see:
Maintenance Assessment Report
Optional Maintenance Assessment Reports are available for each piece of oil
filled electrical equipment tested. Maintenance Assessment Reports are a
detailed description of the recommended maintenance (including repairs and
reclaiming) needed on each piece of equipment based on the test results of
the equipment. The Maintenance Assessment Report is a great tool to
present to your supervisors, ISO Personnel, and insurance agents. This
report takes the guesswork out of what service needs to be done on "QU"
(Questionable) and "UN" (Unacceptable) test results. It also gives a clean bill
of health on the "AC" (Acceptable) units. Should you have any further
questions or would like to see an example of the Maintenance Assessment
Report please contact your SDM representative.
Payment
Payment terms are Net thirty (30) from date of invoice with no discounts.
Terms and Conditions
