POWER SYSTEM GENERATOR & TRANSFER SWITCHES REPLACE

The U.S. Department of Energy, Western Area Power Administration Desert Southwest Region, is soliciting quotes for the replacement of power system generators and transfer switches at multiple microwave sites, including Lolamai Point, Tower Mountain, Christmas Tree Pass, and Newman Peak. This total small business set-aside project under NAICS code 238210 requires the installation, startup, and testing of Caterpillar 40kW standby diesel generator systems or equals, along with external double-wall fuel tanks, automated fuel polishing systems, and both automatic and manual transfer switches. Due to the remote nature of the sites, the project includes specific requirements for precision helicopter lifting and placement of equipment at the Christmas Tree Pass and Newman Peak locations. The contract will be awarded to a responsible contractor on an all-or-nothing basis using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process, with the government seeking quotes generally below 338,298.00 dollars. The period of performance is 365 days after award. Contractors must provide certified mechanics and electricians and adhere to strict technical standards, including UL 1008, CSA certification, and NFPA 110 Level 1 compatibility. Compliance with various Service Contract Act wage determinations for Arizona and Nevada is required. All quotes must be submitted electronically via Fedconnect or email to the contracting officer by the specified deadline.
