2027 HP2 Steam Turbine Generator Major Inspection

The City of Tallahassee is seeking qualified contractors to perform a comprehensive Steam Turbine Generator Major Inspection on Hopkins Station Unit 2 (HP2), located at 1125 Geddie Road in Tallahassee, Florida. The procurement is a Request for Proposals (RFP) targeting contractors capable of executing a detailed inspection and potential repair of high-pressure, intermediate-pressure, and low-pressure turbine components. Key deliverables include full turbine/generator train alignment, replacement of valve plugs, bolting, blades, seals, and high-speed balancing of rotors. The solicitation requires contractors to provide efficiency and uprate guarantees, with a contract term of two years and an optional one-year extension. A mandatory in-person pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. at the Hopkins Generating Station. The proposal submission deadline is December 15, 2025, with evaluation criteria emphasizing technical capability, experience, and potential performance improvements. The City expects to make a single award to a responsible and responsive vendor demonstrating comprehensive turbine maintenance expertise.

The solicitation encourages participation from minority and women-owned business enterprises, though this is not a mandatory requirement. The City offers a local vendor preference, potentially advantaging businesses with a presence in Leon County or surrounding Florida jurisdictions. The payment structure is milestone-based, with 30% due upon mobilization, 40% at the outage midpoint, 20% upon completion of contracted work, and the final 10% after successful control valve testing and final report submission. Vendors must complete extensive documentation, including drug-free workplace certification, conflict of interest disclosures, and human trafficking attestations. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the inspection and potential component replacements suggests a significant project investment. The solicitation includes both a base work scope and an optional work scope, allowing for potential additional turbine component replacements beyond the initial contract requirements.
