9774. 1 Generator and Electrical Equipment Replacement at Northwest HS

This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Division of Procurement for the replacement of generators and electrical equipment at Northwest High School in Germantown, Maryland. The scope of work includes the installation of a new generator system, controls, conduits, gas meters, site restoration, emergency lighting circuits, and the removal and disposal of the existing generator and associated components. The project must be completed by August 19, 2025, with some work allowed during the summer breaks in 2024 and 2025. Bidders must submit various documents, including licenses, certifications, references, and an asbestos-free verification form. The bid pricing must be all-inclusive of labor, equipment, and materials.

The procurement has a 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation goal, with separate subgoals for African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Women-owned MBE firms. Bidders must demonstrate their good faith efforts to meet the MBE requirements through subcontracting and self-performance. The successful contractor will be required to provide a performance and payment bond if the contract value is $100,000 or more. MCPS will not grant MBE waivers without sufficient documentation. The contractor may be subject to late charges for failure to complete the project on time without a written MCPS-approved extension. The solicitation does not specify any set-asides, incumbents, or budget ranges.
