Sinclair Water Authority Emergency Generator Purchase

The Sinclair Water Authority (SWA) in Barrow County, Georgia is seeking bids for the purchase and installation of two emergency backup generators for its water treatment plant and high-service building. The contract will consist of two options - one for the purchase of the equipment and one for the installation of the equipment. Specifically, SWA requires the provision of one 750 kW generator with automatic transfer switch and one 600 kW generator with automatic transfer switch, both with 24-hour fuel tanks. Sealed bids will be accepted until 10:00 AM on November 8, 2024, at which time they will be publicly opened and read. The project is funded by GEMA/FEMA and the GEFA Clean Water SRF Program, requiring compliance with applicable state and federal bid laws. Bidders must be licensed by the State of Georgia, and the successful bidder will be required to provide performance and payment bonds upon contract award.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified bidders, with no stated set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The contract does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. While the total budget or award value is not explicitly stated, the project is funded through state and federal grant programs, suggesting a sizable investment in the emergency generator upgrades for the Sinclair Water Authority's critical water infrastructure.
