Mackenzie - Emergency Generator Replacement RFP

The contract involves a comprehensive evaluation and replacement of the existing emergency power system at a federal healthcare facility under the Northern Health Authority, with the goal of ensuring uninterrupted critical power supply. The scope includes a full assessment of the current generator room, electrical infrastructure, automatic transfer switches, and diesel fuel storage system to determine condition, capacity, and compliance with healthcare standards and current codes. Based on these findings, a design will be developed for a new 150 kW diesel emergency generator, with corresponding upgrades to the automatic transfer switch systems to support both present and anticipated future electrical loads. The project also requires a detailed redesign of the fuel storage system, incorporating regulatory compliance, spatial integration, and safety considerations. Design documentation will encompass coordinated electrical and mechanical drawings and specifications ready for construction procurement, while addressing structural, architectural, and distribution requirements including grounding and system coordination. A critical component is the planning and implementation of temporary emergency power solutions to maintain continuous operation of life-safety and critical hospital systems during the transition period. Testing, verification, and commissioning protocols will be clearly defined to confirm system reliability and compliance, and ongoing engineering support will be provided throughout the construction phase to oversee installation, commissioning, and documentation. The solicitation, issued under BCN662740003, is open for bids until June 17, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 237130 for electrical construction.
