1The Sparrow GroupSOW states “emergency standby generator” but wish to confirm BIA/BIE possibly wants a "standby generator" instead. While less expensive than emergency systems, standby generators are slower to respond to power losses. The biggest difference between the two generator types is that legally required standby systems have 60 seconds to automatically transfer the load, as opposed to the 10-second requirement for emergency systems9/4/24Standby Generator is acceptable for the school9/11/24
2The Sparrow GroupWe don't identify anything stating the BIA/BIE wants to re work any of the emergency loads that would currently have battery backup (We assume that is just egress lights) – Please confirm9/4/24The school is requesting for the entire school building to be powered during a power outage.9/11/24
3The Sparrow GroupIt appears that BIA/BIE wants 100% of the school and Maintenance building covered with the new generator but please confirm.9/4/24The maintenance does not need to powered during the outage, it will be mainly the school building. The maintenance has the building automation system that will need to have power.9/11/24
4The Sparrow GroupWe wish to request peak power demand before providing a response – this will aid in us lowering the generator size using the actual demand not the NEC calculated demand or service size. We believe this can be provided by Jemez Electric COOP9/4/24You will need to request the peak power demand data from Jemez Electric COOP.9/11/24
59/4/24DFW CADWould any other brands or parallel generators be an acceptable substitution? Lead times so far are extremely long for the current specifications (Potentially 12+ months out)9/4/24Suggested: Cummins and Wagner.9/11/24
