Co-Generation and Utility Plant Services

The University of Connecticut has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Co-Generation and Utility Plant Services, targeting vendors with extensive experience in Power Plant Engineering, Inspections, Testing, Maintenance, Repairs, and Fabrication. The solicitation, specific to Tolland County, seeks providers capable of delivering comprehensive, as-needed technical support for utility plant operations. Vendors must submit proposals through the HuskyBuy Portal, with the solicitation period running from April 7, 2025, at 5:00 PM EDT to May 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT. Potential bidders can submit questions from April 7, 2025, at 5:15 PM EDT until April 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT. The procurement includes specific delivery terms of Free On Board Destination and payment terms of Net 45 Days, with Shamona Kamm serving as the primary point of contact at 860-486-5797 or shamona.kamm@uconn.edu.

While the solicitation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations, the RFP appears open to a wide range of qualified utility plant service providers. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation, and no specific budget range or estimated total contract value is provided. The procurement seems designed to establish a flexible, as-needed service agreement for technical support and maintenance of co-generation and utility plant infrastructure. Vendors will likely be evaluated based on their technical expertise, experience in power plant engineering, capacity to perform comprehensive inspections and maintenance, and ability to provide responsive, adaptable support services. The university appears to be seeking a vendor partnership that can address diverse and potentially complex utility plant service requirements on an ongoing basis.
