The scope includes demolition of existing generators, pads, transfer switches, emergency panels, and fencing; installation of new generators on concrete pads with automatic and manual transfer switches, emergency distribution panels, and disconnects; replacement of select grass areas with concrete paving; reuse of existing underground conduits where feasible; and underground utility survey prior to construction.

The Owner's engineer estimate is $4,547,202.00, including a contingency allowance of $413,382. Prevailing wage rates apply under federal wage determination TX20260243, ranging from approximately $10.04 to $51.93 per hour by trade and classification. A 5% bid bond is required with proposal submission. The successful proposer must execute a Performance Bond and Payment Bond each in the amount of 100% of the Contract Sum within 10 days of award notification.

Evaluation is weighted 40% proposal price (Tab 1), 30% firm experience and qualifications (Tab 2), and 30% staffing plan (Tab 3). Award will be based on best value to the Owner, not lowest price. Liquidated damages are $1,000 per calendar day for failure to achieve Substantial Completion by the established date, increasing to $2,000 per day if Final Completion is not achieved within 30 days thereafter. Award notification is expected within 45 days of proposal opening. Questions and substitution requests are due July 30 at 2:00 p.m. CST.
