Generator Enclosure Refurbishment

The Henry County Water Authority (HCWA) is seeking bids from qualified painting contractors to perform generator enclosure refurbishment services across four specific locations: three at the Indian Creek Water Reclamation Facility in Locust Grove and one at the Upper Walnut Creek Lift Station in McDonough, Georgia. The procurement is an Invitation to Bid (ITB25-0091) with a comprehensive scope of work that includes cleaning and surface preparation of generator enclosure exteriors, comprehensive rust removal, sanding, priming of affected surfaces, metal patch repairs, joint sealing, and complete exterior surface painting. Bidders must provide three to five references of similar work completed within the past three to five years and submit various required documentation including a signed bid form, client authorization letters, contractor affidavit, drug-free workplace certification, and applicable professional licenses. The bid solicitation was released on September 16, 2025, with a mandatory pre-bid site visit scheduled for September 24, 2025, at two different times and locations. Bids are due via Bid Net Direct on October 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with an estimated notice of award on October 6, 2025, and an anticipated notice to proceed on October 13, 2025. The contract term is set for 90 calendar days, with the primary objective of extending the service life of generators by addressing corrosion and deterioration issues.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the bid requires contractors to demonstrate significant technical capabilities and professional qualifications. Bidders must possess the necessary equipment, manpower, expertise, experience, and licenses to perform the specialized generator enclosure refurbishment services. The technical files attached to the solicitation, including detailed generator specifications from manufacturers like Tramont Corporation, Generac Power Systems, and Capitol Power Systems, suggest that contractors must have advanced technical understanding of industrial generator systems and enclosure configurations. Although no specific budget range was provided, the complexity of work involving four generator enclosures at different facilities implies a substantial project investment. The technical drawings indicate the generators vary in size and specifications, with weights ranging from approximately 11,540 lbs to 27,944 lbs, which suggests potential variability in refurbishment complexity and cost. The project appears focused on maintaining critical infrastructure for the Henry County Water Authority's water reclamation and lift station facilities.
