Main Distribution Switchboard

Solicitation N4008520B3338, issued by NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic for the Department of Defense, is a 100 percent total small business set-aside project for the replacement of the main distribution switchboard at Building 1170, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport in Rhode Island. The scope of work requires the contractor to disconnect existing line and load-side conductors, remove and dispose of the existing two-section 1,600 amp main distribution switchboard, install a new unit, and perform all necessary inspections and tests. The project magnitude is estimated between 100,000 and 250,000 dollars, with a performance period of 150 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. A hazardous materials survey conducted in March 2020 confirmed the absence of asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint in the Building 1170 Mechanical Room, clearing the site for work. Contractors must adhere to strict base access and security protocols, including DBIDS registration and the submission of visitor request information on company letterhead for personnel entering the facility. Amendment 0001 updated the electronic bid submission point of contact to Cameron Orniston and provided the necessary dial-in details for the bid opening.
