Hush House Transformer Replacement

The Texas Military Department (TMD) for the 147th Attack Wing at Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base in Houston, Texas is seeking a contractor to remove and replace an existing transformer with a new 150 kVA three-phase pad-mount transformer. The project involves removing the current Ohio Transformer Corp MFG, NECO 150 kVA transformer and installing a new ALAMO 150kVA 3Ph Padmount Transformer (12470GY/7200 - 208Y/120) or an approved equivalent. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for February 26 or 28, 2025, from 2:00-3:00 PM at Building B1256, with bid responses due by March 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM CT. The contract term is one year from the effective date with no renewal options. Contractors must submit pricing on a firm fixed-price basis and provide all necessary documentation, including insurance coverage, safety plans, and coordination with TMD Project Managers. The project requires detailed environmental compliance, including waste management plans, hazardous material tracking, and adherence to environmental protection regulations.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The contract requires contractors to obtain all required insurance coverage within 5 business days of award and provide a one-year warranty on all work performed. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement includes a mandatory pricing schedule with line items for the transformer unit, installation services, concrete pad work, equipment rental, and high voltage maintenance labor. The project involves working within a sensitive military installation environment, requiring contractors to comply with strict safety protocols, environmental management systems, and base access procedures. Contractors must also provide comprehensive documentation, including operation and maintenance manuals, manufacturer certifications, and detailed project close-out procedures. The Texas Military Department reserves the right to make an award based on low line item bid, low total of line items, or any combination that best serves their interests.
