Back-up Power Generation System Repairs and Services

The City of Raleigh, North Carolina is requesting proposals for on-call emergency and scheduled repair services for backup power generation and electrical systems across municipal water and wastewater treatment plants, pump stations, storage facilities, and related infrastructure, with proposals due September 14, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. The City reserves the right to award one or more contracts based on price, location, hours of operation, and service availability; no minimum work volume is guaranteed.

The scope includes diagnosis, repair, and maintenance of diesel and natural gas generators, automatic transfer switches, battery systems, fuel delivery systems, exhaust and cooling systems, switchgear, and distribution panels serving power levels of 25 kV, 4160 V, 480 V, and below across multiple facility locations. Contractors must furnish all necessary labor, tools, equipment, testing instruments, materials (unless otherwise specified), and transportation. Material and equipment rental markups are capped at 15 percent. Emergency service response is required within two hours; non-emergency responses within twenty-four hours. Standard work is performed 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, though after-hours work may be requested in urgent situations.

The contract term is up to five years with potential renewal options. Pricing is submitted on a time-and-material basis with separate fully-burdened hourly rates for standard hours, after-hours and weekend work, public holidays, and emergency services. A separate purchase order is issued for each task, and contractors must provide written itemized estimates prior to work commencement.

Contractors must be properly licensed and insured with Commercial General Liability coverage of at least $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, Workers' Compensation Insurance with statutory limits, and compliance with OSHA requirements and the City's ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System protocols. Proposals must include corporate background, at least three references for similar work completed within the past five years, recent financial statements demonstrating stability, project understanding and approach documentation, and proposed team qualifications and certifications. Written questions are due August 24, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST. No pre-proposal conference is scheduled.
