About this opportunity

The City of Palo Alto is soliciting bids for the UCC Generator Replacement Project (IFB #194006) located at 3241 East Bayshore Road in Santa Clara County, California. The procurement involves a comprehensive replacement of the existing generator system, which includes removing the current 165kW diesel generator, underground fuel tank, fuel lines, and day tank, and installing a new 175kW diesel generator with a 96-hour UL142 fuel belly tank. Key deliverables include installing an 800-amp automatic transfer switch, a 600-amp triple switch with enclosure, new exterior and mechanical room lighting, and associated electrical infrastructure modifications. Bidders must possess a valid California Contractor's License (C-10, C8, or General Contractor B), be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations, and provide a 10% bid security. The mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 6, 2025, at the project site, with electronic bid submissions due on June 30, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The project has a targeted completion timeline of 120 calendar days, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on contractor experience, ability to perform the work, licensing compliance, and overall bid responsiveness.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project is funded by the City of Palo Alto's municipal infrastructure budget and requires compliance with prevailing wage regulations and 2022 California Building, Fire, Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing Codes. While no incumbent vendor is specified, the project involves replacing existing infrastructure with new electrical and generator systems that must integrate seamlessly with the current Utilities Service Center operations. A temporary 100kW generator will be utilized during construction to ensure continuous power supply. The comprehensive project specifications suggest a significant capital investment, though the exact budget is not explicitly stated in the available documents. Contractors will be required to obtain necessary permits, coordinate with the city's project manager, conduct thorough testing and commissioning, and properly dispose of existing equipment and infrastructure. The project emphasizes safety, environmental considerations, and precise technical implementation of the generator replacement and associated electrical infrastructure upgrades.
