About this file

This document is Exhibit C of the BARC EPSS (Generator/ATS/MTS) Maintenance and Repair IDIQ contract, presenting a comprehensive status assessment of 82 generator and Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) units located at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC), USDA-ARS in Beltsville, Maryland. The exhibit provides detailed information on each unit's current operational condition, maintenance requirements, and recommended actions. The generators range in capacity from 25 kW to 1,000 kW, with most manufactured by Cummins, along with units from Katolight, Kohler, MTU, Paramac, and AKSA. The equipment is classified under NFPA 110 Level 1 (where failure could result in loss of human life or serious injury) or Level 2 (less critical to safety) standards.

The status list identifies critical maintenance and replacement needs across the facility. Seven generators are recommended for replacement due to poor condition, non-operational status, or reliability issues, while ten ATSs require replacement. All generators in fair condition require baseline servicing. Notable issues include multiple units not serviced in six years, non-operational generators at Buildings 011 upper, 047, 1320, 1325, 1500, 162, 166P, and 194, degraded operational units requiring repairs, and several generators at abandoned or unused buildings recommended for removal. Specific concerns noted include ATS controller failures, missing faceplates, blockheater deficiencies, battery replacements needed, biofuel contamination issues, electrical problems, and undersized or overloaded units. The document notes that a detailed Excel spreadsheet will be available after contract award and serves as the baseline reference for the maintenance and repair work under this IDIQ contract.
