24-0146-2 Purchase, Installation, & Startup Services of Replacement Generators & ATS

Chatham County in Georgia is soliciting bids from qualified vendors for the purchase, installation, and startup services of three new Generac generators and two new Generac Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) to replace the current equipment at three communication tower sites. The successful contractor will be required to provide all equipment, labor, materials, and startup services necessary to complete the project. The generators and ATS units must meet specific technical specifications outlined in the Invitation to Bid, including fuel tank capacities and monitoring capabilities. Bidders will have the opportunity to conduct site visits to verify the project requirements. The bid opening is scheduled for October 10, 2024, and the project must be completed within 200 calendar days after the 10-day notice to proceed period. The project is funded in whole or in part by the American Rescue Plan Act, and the successful contractor must comply with Davis-Bacon wage determination requirements and Chatham County's minority and women-owned business enterprise (M/WBE) participation goals.

The contract opportunity is set aside for qualified vendors, and the County has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The Invitation to Bid does not provide specific award values or budget ranges, but the project is likely to be a significant investment for Chatham County to replace the critical communication tower equipment at the three sites. Contractors with experience in providing generator and ATS installation and startup services, as well as the ability to meet the County's M/WBE participation requirements, will be well-positioned to submit competitive bids for this opportunity.
