400KW LOAD BANK UNIT

The Town of Auburn, Massachusetts, specifically the Auburn Public Schools, is soliciting bids for a load bank unit with a minimum capacity of 400KW. The Mosebach XL 400 Trailer Load Bank is established as the basis of design, though units exceeding this rating are acceptable. The procurement requires the unit to include NRTL certification, single voltage options, an integral space heater kit, a starter spare parts kit, and eight color-coded 50-foot 3-phase cables with bus bar connections. A minimum five-year extended warranty is mandatory. While a dual wheel enclosed trailer may be quoted as an optional addition, its cost must be kept separate from the primary load bank unit. Bidders must provide full technical documentation and specifications, with the final unit deliverable to 5 West Street, Auburn, MA, within 45 days of the award and purchase order confirmation. Financial requirements include a 5% bid deposit and a 50% payment bond, and the contract must comply with MGL C 30 and 39M. Sealed bids are due by October 16, 2026, with a formal bid opening scheduled for October 30, 2026. The primary points of contact for this solicitation are Glenn Gregoire, Director of Facilities, and Jennifer Stanick, Business Manager.
