Z--MI SHIAWASSEE NWR ELECTRIC UPGRADE

The contract for the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge Electric Upgrade involves upgrading the facility’s electrical system to a 100-amp capacity, including installation of new panels, wiring, and associated components, with all work strictly limited to daylight hours and required to be completed within a 15-day window following notice to proceed. Performance is scheduled between April 27 and May 15, 2026, with work restricted to one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset daily, and prohibited on weekends and federal holidays unless explicitly authorized. The contract is a sealed bid solicitation resulting in a firm-fixed-price arrangement, evaluated solely on price under a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with no technical or past performance factors considered. The acquisition is set aside exclusively for small businesses as defined by NAICS code 238210, with a size standard of $19 million in annual receipts, and requires offerors to self-represent their small business status, UEI, and CAGE code through SAM.gov, alongside compliance with all applicable FAR representations and certifications. The contractor must adhere to strict environmental regulations including the Endangered Species Act, Clean Air Act, and National Historic Preservation Act, with immediate work stoppage required upon discovery of protected species or archaeological artifacts, and must avoid all friable asbestos while safely handling non-friable asbestos per 29 CFR 1910.1001. All work must comply with the National Electrical Code and local authorities having jurisdiction, with final inspection and acceptance occurring on-site at the refuge’s location in Saginaw, Michigan. Contractors are responsible for all waste disposal, debris removal, and restoration of interior finishes to a professional standard, and must submit invoices exclusively through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform. Special requirements prohibit substitutions of key personnel, materials, or processes without written approval, mandate immediate reporting of hazardous materials, and require adherence to federal green procurement guidelines for biobased, Energy Star, and low-standby power products. Postage, marking, and packaging are governed by minimal requirements—primarily that all submissions clearly indicate the contract number and all fees are borne by the contractor—with no reference to MIL-STDs or detailed preservation standards. No contract value is stated due to blank pricing in Section B, and no payment office details or COR/COTR contacts are provided at this time, with such information to be designated post-award.
