N--Generator and ATS Replacement - Allegheny NFH, PA

Solicitation 140FC226Q0049 is a Total Small Business Set-Aside for a firm-fixed-price construction contract to replace the emergency power system at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Allegheny National Fish Hatchery in Warren, Pennsylvania. The project involves the removal of an existing 675 kW Caterpillar standby generator and the installation of a new 500 kW Caterpillar generator and Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). To facilitate the installation, the contractor must temporarily remove and reinstall five bollards and a 2,000-gallon diesel fuel tank. The work is mission-critical to ensure continuous backup power for groundwater wells and fish culture operations, requiring the contractor to maintain power continuity via a temporary generator. The construction magnitude is estimated between $100,000 and $250,000, with a period of performance of 360 days after the notice to proceed. The award will be based on best value, considering both price and past performance, with non-price factors weighted as slightly more important than price. Offerors must provide three examples of similar projects completed within the last five years. The project requires compliance with NEC (NFPA) standards, OSHA 29 CFR 1926 and 1910 safety regulations, and Davis-Bacon wage determinations for Warren County. Key deliverables include a complete commissioning and acceptance package, O&M manuals, warranty information, and as-built drawings. Quotes are due by September 17, 2026, at 11:00 AM Central Time, and must be submitted via email to the designated point of contact.
