GENERATOR

Mathews County, Virginia, is seeking procurement of a 13kW Briggs and Stratton generator through a state and local contract opportunity posted on August 25, 2025, with proposals due by August 29, 2025. The procurement encompasses a comprehensive generator replacement project that includes purchasing the new generator, installing it with connection to existing electric and gas infrastructure, removing the old generator, and proper disposal of the replaced equipment. Qualified vendors must provide a certificate of insurance prior to commencing work, indicating a requirement for comprehensive commercial liability coverage. The project specifications demand a turnkey solution from a vendor capable of managing both equipment procurement and installation services. The generator will serve a critical infrastructure need for Mathews County, suggesting this is likely a municipal or government facility upgrade. Vendors must demonstrate technical competence in generator installation, electrical systems integration, and compliance with local building and safety codes.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly noted in the contract opportunity, typical state and local government procurements often provide preferences for local or small businesses, veteran-owned enterprises, or minority-owned businesses. The contract appears to be a direct procurement without complex qualitative evaluation criteria, focusing instead on technical specifications and vendor capability to complete the generator replacement. No specific budget range is provided, but generator installations of this scale typically range between $15,000 to $30,000, depending on site complexity and additional integration requirements. The short turnaround time between posting and proposal due date suggests the county is seeking expedited procurement to address an immediate infrastructure need. Potential vendors should be prepared to provide detailed technical specifications, proof of insurance, and demonstrate rapid deployment capabilities to meet the county's generator replacement timeline.
