Buckhannon-USPFO Emergency Generator Replacement

The West Virginia Purchasing Division, on behalf of the WV Army National Guard's Construction and Facilities Management Office, is seeking a contractor to replace an emergency generator and automatic transfer switch at the United States Property and Fiscal Office (USPFO) facility located in Buckhannon, West Virginia. This Centralized Request for Quote (CRFQ) requires the selected vendor to provide all necessary labor, materials, tools, equipment, and supplies for a comprehensive generator replacement project. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on July 16, 2025, at 10:00 am, with technical questions from potential vendors due by July 22, 2025, at 11:00 am. The bid opening is scheduled for July 29, 2025, at 1:30 pm, with a contract duration of 120 calendar days. Qualified contractors must possess a valid West Virginia Contractor's License and meet specific insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability coverage. The project includes liquidated damages of $1,500 per day of delay and a $1,250 fixed cost for Staff Judge Advocate review if the work is not completed by the contract completion date.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit a bid bond of 5% of the total bid amount and comply with state regulations regarding domestic steel products, local labor market hiring, and drug-free workplace policies. The contract is funded through the WV Army National Guard and is subject to state procurement regulations, with potential for extension or renewal based on agency needs. The solicitation includes technical specifications for the generator, requiring an NFPA 110 remote annunciator, a level 3 sound attenuated enclosure, and various additional components such as an anti-condensation heater, delayed transition transfer, battery charger, output circuit breaker, block heater, and remote E-stop. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical requirements suggest a significant investment in upgrading the emergency power infrastructure at the USPFO facility. The procurement documents indicate that invoicing and shipping will be managed through the Adjutant General's Office in Charleston and the USPFO facility in Buckhannon.
