About this file
This document contains questions and answers regarding a solicitation for generator replacement at Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial in Put-In-Bay, Ohio. The National Park Service is seeking to replace an existing 150 kW diesel generator with a new unit designed to power park housing units and maintenance buildings. The period of performance has been extended to 365 days from notice to proceed due to long manufacturer lead times of 40-52 weeks for generators and associated equipment. Trenching will not be permitted across paved surfaces, and the existing generator will be removed and stored on site.
