Chattahoochee County School District Emergency Generators

The Chattahoochee County School District in Georgia is requesting proposals for turn-key design-build emergency backup generator systems at two school facilities, with proposals due December 18, 2026 at 12:00 PM. A mandatory pre-proposal site walkthrough must occur at any time before the proposal deadline. No set-aside or preference program applies.

Scope covers assessing electrical load requirements, recommending generator specifications and fuel types, and executing the full installation through testing and commissioning. Phase 1 covers site assessments, load sizing, and engineered specifications for fuel source and transfer switch configurations. Phase 2 covers permitting, procurement, civil and structural work, electrical installation, testing and commissioning, and warranty provisions. The facilities are Chattahoochee County Education Center at 140 Merrell St, Cusseta, GA 31805, and Chattahoochee County Middle High School at 360 GA HWY 26, Cusseta, GA 31805. Bidders must demonstrate experience with commercial generator installations, preferably in educational or public facilities, and provide references from at least three similar projects completed within the last five years. Proposed generator manufacturers should include brands such as Kohler, Generac, Cummins, or Caterpillar.

Proposals must include a technical approach, qualifications, and itemized cost proposals. Cost proposals require separate line items for engineering and assessment fees, estimated per-school installation and equipment costs, and hourly rates for Master Electricians, Project Managers, and Laborers for out-of-scope work. The District will evaluate proposals on cost and price fairness, technical plan and services, prior experience, and reliability. Submissions go electronically or in sealed envelopes to Ray Harralson, Director of Operations, at rharralson@chattco.org or 706-289-9943.
