Installation of Generator Belt BH

The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences is soliciting bids for installation of a generator belt at its Birmingham Lab (2026 Valleydale Road, Hoover, Alabama) through a Quick Quote, with bids due September 14, 2026. The service scope is specified to a single piece of equipment with no substitution permitted: a CUMMINS GGLB model generator (serial number I050826692, part #SUA75367). Installation includes travel, unit shutdown, guard removal, old belt removal, new belt installation, and unit testing.

Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that system. Qualification requirements include manufacturer's reseller authorization, professional licenses, and certificates of insurance, to be submitted after bid opening. Compliance certifications include Alabama tax registration, the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act, and E-Verify enrollment if the supplier employs staff in Alabama.

The contract term may be renewed annually by written agreement up to a total cost of $25,000 or five years from the effective date, whichever comes first. Price escalation requests are capped at 5 percent of annual contract cost and require written approval from both parties. The State of Alabama reserves the right to analyze bids for cost realism and price reasonableness, and the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences will consider budget constraints in awarding the purchase order. All contracts are governed by Alabama law with disputes resolved through good faith negotiation and non-binding alternative dispute resolution. The State is exempt from sales tax, and suppliers must accept multiple forms of electronic payment without additional cost.
