Generator & Transfer Switch Installations

The Decatur County Board of Commissioners in Georgia has issued an Invitation for Bids to construct and install six generators, transfer switches, and related equipment at the Decatur County Industrial Air Park and County Public Works Site. The project encompasses all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to complete the work in accordance with detailed plans and specifications. The work is scheduled for a completion period of 180 days to reach substantial completion, with a total of 194 days allowed for full project close-out. The contract is anticipated to be awarded as a single fixed-price agreement, with the bidding process closing on July 1, 2025. Bidders must be licensed electrical contractors, and the project will be funded through a grant from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, with all necessary permits expected to be approved prior to work commencement. Key contractual requirements include the submission of bonds—performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract value—issued by a surety licensed in Georgia with a minimum "A" rating. Bidders may need to demonstrate financial stability, experience, and bonding capacity to qualify. The bidding documents, obtainable for a non-refundable fee of $300 from Watkins & Associates, LLC, contain detailed instructions and specifications. The county reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, and re-advertise if necessary. The project emphasizes compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, and all bids will be publicly opened at the specified location in Bainbridge, Georgia, at 11:00 AM on July 1, 2025.
