Boyd County SD4 Lift Station Generators

Boyd County Sanitation District 4 (SD4) is seeking sealed bids for a critical infrastructure project involving the supply and installation of three diesel-powered standby generators and automatic transfer switches at three lift station locations: Bob Evans (80 kW), Marsh Hill (250 kW), and Camp Landing/Cedar Knolls Mall (80 kW). The procurement is partially funded through FEMA's 404 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, with the primary objective of ensuring uninterrupted power supply during emergency situations and safeguarding critical sanitation infrastructure. Bidders must provide comprehensive installation services, including design, electrical, and mechanical work, complying with federal, state, and local codes. Key requirements include submitting a 5% bid guarantee, providing proof of general and professional liability insurance, and meeting EPA emission regulations and National Electrical Codes. Contractors must be prepared to obtain all necessary permits, perform installation using licensed electricians, conduct start-up and testing, provide training to district personnel, and deliver comprehensive documentation. The sealed bids are due by September 15th, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. CST through the DFS Procurement Portal, with bid opening to occur at a special session meeting at 239 W Little Garner Rd, Ashland, KY 41102. Bid prices must remain valid for 90 calendar days, and the successful contractor will be required to provide a one-year unconditional warranty on materials and workmanship.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are explicitly stated in the procurement documents, the project requires significant technical expertise and compliance capabilities. Contractors must be prepared to provide detailed concrete pad installations, with most sites requiring 36-inch elevations (except Camp Landing at 15 inches), and demonstrate comprehensive understanding of electrical and mechanical systems integration. The project involves restoring any disturbed landscaping or surfaces to their original condition at the contractor's expense. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the project involves three separate generators with varying capacities (two 80 kW and one 250 kW) and corresponding automatic transfer switches, suggesting a substantial investment in critical infrastructure resilience. Interested bidders should be prepared to submit comprehensive documentation, including detailed installation plans, proof of licensing, insurance certificates, and compliance with all relevant electrical and environmental regulations. Questions regarding the scope or Invitation for Bid (IFB) should be submitted through the DFS Procurement Bonfire Portal, with technical support available via procurement@erassist.com for registration and navigation inquiries.
