This document is a Request for Bids (RFB) from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) for the replacement of the backup generator at the Tuscaloosa State Trooper Post. The RFB includes detailed specifications for a 17-20 KW natural gas generator with a single-phase, 240-volt automatic transfer switch.

The contractor will be responsible for all debris removal and any claims against delivery carriers for missing or damaged items. The new generator and transfer switch must come with a standard five-year manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty period will begin upon the successful installation and testing of the new system.
