Generator Purchase DR 4579

Peach County, Georgia is seeking proposals for a generator procurement and installation project through a competitive bid process. The solicitation requires furnishing and installing two permanent mounted Kohler generators—one propane and one diesel-driven—at the Yellow Creek Fire Station and Pickens County Recycle Center. The comprehensive generator system must include specific components such as engine block heaters, flexible fuel lines, sound attenuated enclosures, weather-resistant steel enclosures, stainless steel flexible exhaust connectors, and automatic transfer switches. Additional requirements include critical grade exhaust silencers, battery chargers, Kohler DEC 3000 microprocessor controls, and RSAIII remote annunciators. The contractor will be responsible for constructing 3,000 psig concrete foundations, completing all necessary conduit and wiring connections, performing factory-authorized startup, providing operator training, and conducting system load testing. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 11, 2024, at 10:00 am, with bid submissions due by 1:30 pm on January 8, 2025. The project timeline mandates completion within 120 consecutive calendar days from contract award.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the solicitation documents. The project requires a comprehensive five-year equivalent extended warranty on the generator systems and includes full first-year factory-authorized maintenance. While no specific budget range or award value was provided, the technical complexity and comprehensive requirements suggest a significant capital investment. Bidders must demonstrate technical expertise in generator installation, electrical systems integration, and compliance with municipal infrastructure standards. The county reserves the right to waive irregularities or reject any and all bids, indicating flexibility in the procurement process. Bid packages can be obtained from the Water Department at the Administrative Building in Jasper, GA, suggesting local vendors may have a procedural advantage in accessing solicitation details. The project appears focused on enhancing emergency and municipal infrastructure resilience through modern generator technology.
