Purchase + Install Emergency Generator + Alarm

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of State Parks, is seeking a contractor to purchase and install a permanently installed propane-fueled standby generator with remote power failure alarm system for the Beltzville State Park Sewage Treatment Plant in Carbon County. The procurement involves a comprehensive solution requiring a generator with self-monitoring and self-diagnostic features capable of network communication, designed to ensure continuous power operations for critical sewage treatment infrastructure. Bidders are strongly encouraged to conduct a site visit prior to submitting proposals, and all work must conform to manufacturer specifications and applicable Uniform Construction Code standards. The solicitation (Solicitation Number 6100032691) was originally posted on February 6, 2015, with the bid opening date extended to February 27, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. Bids must be submitted electronically through the PA Supplier Portal, with award determination based on the lowest total sum. Prospective contractors will be required to provide detailed unit pricing rounded to two decimal points, and the contract is scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2015.

The contract opportunity appears to have specific requirements under Pennsylvania's Reciprocal Limitations Act, which may provide preferences for in-state bidders or manufacturers. Bidders must complete and submit a Reciprocal Limitations Act form documenting the state of manufacture for each bid item and provide information about their business residency in Pennsylvania. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, contractors must comply with nondiscrimination requirements and demonstrate contractor integrity. The Commonwealth reserves the right to request references from bidders after bid opening and to make a single award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Payment will be processed on a reimbursement basis for actual services performed, with monthly invoices required and detailed itemized cost documentation. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the procurement is for a single generator and alarm system installation at the Beltzville State Park Sewage Treatment Plant, suggesting a project of moderate scope and investment.
