Installation and Commissioning of Stationary Standby Generators at Two Utility Sites

The project involves installing two stationary standby generators at separate Raleigh Water utility sites to ensure continuous operation during power outages. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, equipment, materials, permitting, supervision, and the full installation, integration, and commissioning of the generators, with each site having unique conditions outlined in detailed bid documents. The procurement is managed by the City of Raleigh, with bids due by September 3, 2025, and a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for August 26, 2025. The estimated contract value is approximately $300,000, requiring a 5% bid security and encouraging 15% MWBE participation, aligning with North Carolina statutes and city policies promoting minority and women-owned business involvement. The contractual framework emphasizes compliance with state licensing laws, specifically North Carolina General Statute, Chapter 87, and incorporates requirements for responsible bidding, including submission of appropriate licensing evidence and bid security. While specific federal FAR clauses are not explicitly referenced, the contract relies on state statutes and city policies governing equal opportunity, MWBE participation, and procurement procedures. Bidders must request full bid documents via email to obtain detailed specifications, forms, and submission instructions, as the advertisement indicates that all supporting materials, including technical specifications and site-specific requirements, are available upon request. The award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, considering price, quality, and schedule, with final acceptance likely occurring at the installation sites after successful commissioning.
