Procurement and Installation of Emergency Backup Generator at New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, is conducting market research for the procurement and installation of an emergency backup generator system at the New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam facility in Augusta, Georgia. The scope of work includes supplying and installing a 48 kW propane-fueled generator set, a 1,150-gallon propane fuel tank, and an automatic transfer switch on a new elevated steel platform. The applicable NAICS code is 335312 (Electric Power Generation Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. This is a Sources Sought Notice rather than a formal solicitation, and interested contractors must submit completed questionnaires addressing eight specific topics related to company capabilities, self-performance capacity, supply lead times, relevant experience, and potential scope improvements. The responses are due by November 4, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern and should be submitted via email to Contract Specialist Amy L. Collins and Contracting Officer Glenda A. Canty. This pre-solicitation notice does not obligate the government to issue a Request for Proposal or award a contract.

The project carries no set-aside designation and no incumbent contractor is identified in this pre-solicitation announcement. While a specific award value is not disclosed in the notice, the project scope indicates a moderate-complexity installation with a 180-calendar day performance period from notice to proceed. Key deliverables include shop drawings and product data submissions within four weeks of the notice to proceed, comprehensive operational testing, eight hours of operations and maintenance training for government personnel, and a minimum 24-month warranty from the date of registered commissioning. The generator system must meet specific technical requirements, including 277/480V three-phase power output with remote communication capabilities, and the contractor must provide a quality control plan and adhere to strict safety requirements. Additional site work encompasses an eight-foot security fence installation, parking space removal, and site landscaping management.
