ITB 26-FD02, Generator & ATS Replacement - Fire Stn 43

The City of Milton, Georgia, is soliciting sealed bids for the removal and replacement of the existing generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS) at Fire Station 43 with a new fixed industrial generator system. Funded via the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, this project requires the contractor to potentially modify or reinforce the existing concrete pad to support the new equipment. All work must conform to applicable local, state, and national building and electrical codes, as well as manufacturer specifications. The contract emphasizes that the system must be installed, tested, and fully operational upon completion, with the City retaining final ownership of all materials and systems installed. Bids are to be submitted electronically through the City’s procurement portal by May 18, 2026. This procurement follows a firm fixed-price, lump sum contract model awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, meaning the contract will be granted to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all technical requirements. Key contractual provisions highlight strict compliance with Buy America requirements, non-collusion, foreign trade restrictions, tax and criminal history certifications, and equal employment opportunity obligations. The contract includes rigorous insurance, record retention, and audit requirements, and mandates confidentiality and compliance with Georgia-specific alien employment laws. Contractor personnel identified as key to the project cannot be changed without prior written approval. Inspection and acceptance are conducted at the project site, with the contractor bearing all costs for tests and inspections and remaining solely responsible for workmanship quality. The contract documents include various exhibits outlining scope, personnel, administrative provisions, and required certifications, but the details on pricing quantities and total contract value were not provided, indicating these may be established post-award. Payment processing is paper-based and requires monthly invoicing supported by appropriate certifications and approvals. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and will award based exclusively on technical acceptability and price, without trade-off evaluations.
