12742 Farewell Bend Transfer Switches for Emergency Power

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is conducting an Intermediate Procurement for Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 12742, seeking a contractor to install manual transfer switches for emergency power at Farewell Bend State Park in Baker County. The project requires installation of transfer switches at six specific buildings: Pump House (100-amp), Day Use (200-amp), Park Manager Residence, Office, Well 3, and C-Loop, with each location requiring inlet and extension cord setups for generator hookups. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of three years of professional experience within the past five years providing similar services, possess current licensing and certification, and have adequate resources to complete the work. The procurement timeline includes bid issuance on February 7, 2025, with technical inquiries due by February 12, 2025 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, and bid opening/closing on February 14, 2025 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. The contract is expected to be awarded on February 17, 2025, with a performance period running from Notice to Proceed through June 30, 2025.

The solicitation provides preferences for goods and services manufactured or produced in Oregon and for recycled materials, which may offer slight competitive advantages to local vendors. Prior to contract execution, the selected contractor must provide certificates of liability insurance meeting specific coverage requirements, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($1M per occurrence, $2M aggregate), and automobile liability ($1M combined single limit). While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated in the available documents, the contract will require the contractor to provide all necessary equipment, labor, materials, and supplies to complete the installations, with work to be performed only by qualified and licensed staff. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the procurement documents. The contractor will be required to submit a single invoice upon completion of all work, with detailed itemization of services performed. The project represents a targeted infrastructure improvement focusing on emergency power capabilities at the Farewell Bend State Park facility.
