About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Pittsburgh seeks to procure electrical services for replacing the electric service system at Kinzua Dam. The contractor will be required to remove and dispose of all existing power conductors from the meter to the automatic transfer switch and install new power cable, as the current underground power service conductors have failed and are currently bypassed with temporary aerial service. The work encompasses complete replacement of underground conduit, replacement of the disconnect box with a new pull box, removal of temporary power feed upon completion, coordination of required inspections, and arrangement for Penelec utility company to reconnect commercial power. Additional scope includes bituminous pavement removal, trenching, underground conduit installation, and trench backfilling work. The Request for Quotes will be issued approximately September 29, 2025, through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment, with the pre-solicitation notice posted on September 12, 2025, and responses due September 29, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Total Small Business Set Aside under NAICS Code 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors) with a small business size standard of $19,000,000. The contract will be awarded as a single Firm-Fixed Price contract with no incumbent contractor information provided in the notice. The contractor must complete all work within 90 calendar days after receiving the written Notice to Proceed. The procurement falls under PSC Code Z2NZ for "Repair or Alteration of Other Utilities," and all responsible small business quoters are encouraged to participate in the competitive process. No specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation announcement.

Update #2 · Latest ·

The existing electrical service is a partly underground system beginning at the electric meter on wood panel next to the meter pole that then travels underground to a disconnect switch located on the exterior of the dam (see contract drawings), then travels through rigid metal conduit on the exterior of the dam and ends at the automatic transfer switch in the interior of the dam.  The existing underground power service conductors have failed and have been bypassed with a temporary aerial service, while the remaining cables from the disconnect switch on the dam to the ATS have very low insulation resistance values. All the power conductors from the meter to the ATS shall be removed and disposed of and new power cable installed in the existing conduits. The underground conduit shall be replaced in its entirety, and the disconnect box at the end of dam shall be replaced with a new pull box.  The contractor shall be required to remove the temporary power feed at the completion of the work, arrange for all required inspections, and arrange for the electric utility company, Penelec, to reconnect commercial power. The work also includes bituminous pavement removal, trenching and installation of underground conduit, trench backfilling and other incidental work.
