MV Breaker Preventive Maintenance Services

The Department of State's U.S. Embassy London seeks preventive maintenance services for ten Eaton MV-VCP-W circuit breakers, with quotes due August 7 and a mandatory site visit on July 24. Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror; no discussions are anticipated unless the Government elects otherwise. This is not a set-aside procurement.

Place of performance is London, UK, specifically 33 Nine Elms Lane, SW11 7US. The contract covers a one-year base period plus four optional one-year renewal periods. The work requires annual preventive maintenance per manufacturer specifications, secondary injection testing, and controlled opening of each breaker to demonstrate operational capability. Maintenance windows are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on agreed Fridays and Saturdays, excluding U.S. Government and local holidays.

Contractor personnel must hold security clearances and prior authorization for site access; personnel with CAA and PCC area work assignments must be cleared American construction workers. The contractor must provide a qualified MV/HV Senior Authorized Person (SAP) for isolating 11KV equipment and must supply all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and transportation. Minimum public liability insurance is $5,000,000; workers' compensation insurance must meet local law requirements.

The contract is firm fixed price. Contractors submit unit prices for comprehensive annual service on all ten breakers, with separate pricing for the base year and four optional years; VAT at 20% is calculated separately. Contractors must also provide hourly rates for standard and emergency callout repairs discovered during preventive maintenance, billed separately. Payment is due 30 days after service completion or invoice receipt. Questions are due July 27 by COB. The NAICS code is 23821, Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors; PSC is Z1AA, Maintenance Of Office Buildings.
