Building G Generator Replacement - HQ

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is soliciting proposals for the replacement of the existing generator at the DPS Headquarters Campus in Building G, located in Austin, Texas. The project scope involves the demolition and removal of the old equipment and the installation, configuration, and testing of a new, fully operational generator system. All work must adhere to approved construction documents and technical standards, including ANSI/NFPA 70, NEMA 250, NEMA MG1, and MIL E-4970A. A key performance requirement is the certification that a service mechanic will be on site within four hours if the generator fails to start. Proposals are due by 5:00 P.M. Central Time on November 19, 2026, via the DPS Online Bid Room or email. Award decisions will be based on a best value standard, evaluating indicators of probable vendor performance (40 points), technical requirements (30 points), and cost (30 points). Mandatory requirements include the submission of a project plan and schedule within ten business days of a kickoff meeting, and the provision of performance and payment bonds for contracts exceeding specific thresholds. Vendors must also comply with Texas state laws regarding HUB certification, cybersecurity training, and specific wage and sick leave requirements.
