Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), FL has a requirement to provide all design and construction effort required to upgrade the Building 104, Eglin Radar Control Facility Emergency Power System on Eglin AFB, FL.  The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 236220 Commercial and Institutional Building Construction Contractors with a size standard of $39.5M.  Statement of Magnitude is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.  This is a Small Business Set-Aside competitive acquisition utilizing a best value source selection process and award will be made based upon the Best Value to the Government in accordance with FAR Part 15.3.

This project includes, but is not limited to, the following: provide a new Emergency Power System that shall consolidate all mission critical electrical loads on one emergency generator and one automatic transfer switch (ATS).

Replace 277/480 V, 800 A main distribution electrical panel MDP with new panel. Remove panel PC and transfer its circuits to new panel MDP.

Remove 150 KVA and 225 KVA transformer banks, and replace with a new 480 V primary, 120/208 V secondary dry-type transformer (sized as required) fed from new panel MDP.

Remove the 400 A safety switch feeding ATS #1, remove the 400 A technical ATS #1, and the 600 A mechanical ATS #2. Then, install a new 120/208 V, 4-pole, Bypass Isolation, and Closed Transition ATS (sized as required) fed from the new dry-type transformer referenced above.
