ITB - Uninterruptible Power Supply Replacement

The Oregon State Lottery Commission has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB #22242) for the replacement of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems at the Lottery Headquarters in Salem, Oregon. The procurement seeks to replace two existing Eaton 9390-160KW UPS units with two new 50KW module units with 150KW frames, utilizing existing wiring in a parallel/redundant configuration. The project requires installation of two Eaton 93PM UPS units with lithium-ion batteries providing approximately 30 minutes of runtime at 50KW load, complete with wiring side car for top entry electrical and seismic kits. Contractors must ensure zero downtime for critical equipment during installation and include remote monitoring capabilities with alarms. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site walk-through is scheduled for February 25, 2025 at 10:00 AM PST in the Lottery's Pacific Room, with the bid submission deadline set for March 10, 2025 at 10:00 AM PST. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the total lump sum price, with an anticipated contract execution date of March 28, 2025 and project completion required by June 27, 2025.

The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must possess active licenses from the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and provide background checks for all personnel working in the Lottery building. Prevailing wage rates do not apply to this project. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves replacing sophisticated UPS systems with advanced technological capabilities, suggesting a potentially significant investment. The requirement for zero downtime and sophisticated remote monitoring indicates the critical nature of the infrastructure being replaced. Prospective bidders must demonstrate technical expertise in UPS system installation, particularly with Eaton 93PM units and lithium-ion battery technologies, and have the capability to work within a secure government facility environment with minimal disruption to existing operations.
