The project encompasses the supply and installation of generators with varying capacities: 500 kW at the Walker County Courthouse, 100 kW at the District Attorney's Office, 250 kW at Walker County Annex, and 60 kW at Walker County Annex III. Each installation requires concrete pad construction, perimeter fencing with lockable gates, and complete electrical and plumbing work. A mandatory site visit was conducted on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, with 30-minute sessions scheduled at each location beginning at 9:00 a.m. Sealed bids are due December 17, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, with bid opening scheduled for 10:10 a.m. at the Walker County Purchasing Office. The contract is a firm fixed-price agreement with no permitted change orders, extending from the award date through September 10, 2026.

Bidders must submit one original and one copy of their bid response along with a USB drive containing pricing schedules, references, conflict of interest questionnaire, and insurance certificates. Bids exceeding $250,000 require a 100 percent performance bond and payment bond from a certified Texas surety company, with a 5 percent bid deposit required for bids over $25,000. Contractors must maintain statutory workers' compensation insurance, commercial general liability insurance with a $1,000,000 per occurrence minimum, and commercial automobile liability coverage of $500,000 per occurrence. The project is funded through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), and contractors are responsible for providing temporary power during installation while minimizing power interruptions. A minimum one-year warranty on all materials and workmanship is required, and compliance with current building codes is mandatory.
