About this opportunity

The Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office is seeking contractors to replace the main underwater high voltage cable, transformer boxes, pad-mounted switchgear, sectionalizing enclosures, and other associated components running from the mainland to the Kettle Falls district, as well as install improved emergency backup generation for critical loads in the Kettle Falls Area. This project is necessary due to safety risks posed by the compromised neutral wire, which can lead to power outages that impact visitor services and the historic hotel. The solicitation will be a two-phase design-build procurement, with Phase I focused on technical qualifications and Phase II on price proposals. Proposals are due by October 4, 2024, and the contractor must begin work within 12 calendar days after award.

There are no set-asides for this procurement. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 237130 Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction, with a small business size standard of $45 million. The available net construction funding is $11,742,373, with a required bonding capacity of $20 million for a single project. The place of performance is Voyageurs National Park in International Falls, Minnesota.

Notice text

This project will replace the main underwater high voltage cable and multiple transformer boxes that run from the mainland to the Kettle Falls district. Pad-mounted switchgear, sectionalizing enclosures, elbow terminations, as well as individual and other associated components will be replaced as needed. An improved level of emergency backup generation for critical loads at Kettle Falls Area will be installed. Due to the compromised neutral wire, this poses a serious safety risk to visitors as well as employees. The neutral serves as a ground for the cable, and as more lightning strikes occur the chances of someone being struck increase. Secondly when power goes out facilities are forced to be closed such as restrooms, showers, and the restaurant. There is also a food safety factor at the restaurant due to the freezers and coolers loss of power. This has potential for food to develop bacteria that could lead to sickness of visitors. The Fire suppression system pumps are run by electricity; therefore, if there is no power then there is no fire protection for the Historic hotel. This jeopardizes the visitor's safety as well as the historic building. The new backup generator would allow the concession to continue to stay operational in the event of a power outage
