50KW Fixed Generator Project for Fire Station #4

Rockdale County, Georgia, has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 25-28 for the purchase and installation of a 50KW fixed diesel generator at Fire Station #4, located at 3601 Union Church Road in Stockbridge. The project, funded through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, aims to ensure emergency electrical power during severe storms and natural hazards. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 27, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. at the fire station, with sealed bids due on November 6, 2025, by 2:00 P.M. The successful contractor will be responsible for a complete turnkey generator system, including all associated equipment, labor, concrete pad, transfer switch, electrical connections, and a five-year warranty and maintenance plan. The selection process will follow a past performance/quality/price trade-off methodology, with the award going to the responsible offeror whose bid represents the best value. Bidders must submit a USB flash drive containing bid documents, including a bid form, applicable affidavits, contractor qualifications, subcontractor information, proof of business and electrical contractor licenses, and subcontractor estimates.

The ITB does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with federal regulations, local and national building and electrical codes, and provide comprehensive insurance coverage as specified in the document. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project requires integration with existing fire station infrastructure. The total contract price will be determined by the successful bidder's proposal, with a 5% contingency to cover unforeseen costs. The county will provide payment within 30 days of receiving an undisputed invoice. Specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation, but the comprehensive nature of the generator installation suggests a significant investment in emergency power infrastructure. Potential bidders should demonstrate technical capability, relevant experience in generator installations, and the ability to meet stringent performance and warranty requirements.
