Generator Procurement and Installation for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation U.S. Bureau of Reclamation – Bay-Delta Office Salient Characteristics

1. Title of Acquisition:

Emergency Generator replacement FCCL

2. Description of Supply:

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) is procuring three new emergency backup generators for use at the UC Davis Fish Conservation and Culture Laboratory (FCCL) in Byron, California, to support Delta Smelt refuge and supplementation activities funded by Reclamation. The existing generators housed at FCCL are outdated and undersized for current facility needs. This contract will provide for the purchase, delivery, and turnkey installation of two LP-fueled generators rated at a minimum of 100 kW each, and one diesel-fueled generator rated at a minimum of 155 kW that complies with Tier 4 Final emission standards. All generators will be housed in weatherproof, sound-attenuated enclosures, with the diesel unit featuring an integrated subbase fuel tank capable of providing a minimum of 24 hours of continuous runtime at full load. The contractor will be responsible for delivery, offloading, and secure placement of the generators, as well as all necessary electrical and fuel system connections and the removal of the existing generators. Startup services will include functional load testing, and basic operational training will be provided to FCCL staff at the time of commissioning to ensure reliable backup power in support of federally-funded operations.

3. Purpose of Acquisition:

The purpose of this acquisition is to replace three aging and undersized emergency generators currently in use at the UC Davis Fish Conservation and Culture Laboratory (FCCL). Installed in or before 2005, the existing generators have experienced significant wear and no longer meet the facility’s expanded electrical demands. Reliable emergency power is critical for maintaining live Delta Smelt in refuge and ensuring continuity of Reclamation-funded supplementation efforts. The contractor shall furnish and install three new emergency generators, including two units rated at a minimum of 100 kW (LP-fueled) and a third unit rated at a minimum of 155 kW that shall be diesel-fueled and comply with Tier 4 Final emission standards. Work will encompass delivery, offloading, anchoring, and placement of the generators, as well as disconnection and removal of the existing units and necessary electrical and fuel line connections for operability. The contractor is responsible for coordinating existing system connections, reusing automatic transfer switches where applicable, and making minor site modifications as needed, while also providing basic operational training to FCCL staff during commissioning. This project requires a turnkey approach, necessitating a site visit to verify installation conditions and ensure compliance with specifications and operational needs of the facility.
