This is a public tender for the replacement of an existing 40 kW diesel generator system and associated automatic bypass transfer switch (ABT) at USCG Station Coos Bay. The scope of work includes removal and disposal of the old generator, installation of a new equivalent generator with specific features (programmable automatic start, weekly self-test), upgrading the ABT, ensuring proper exhaust and ventilation, and renewing fuel system piping. The new generator assembly must not exceed 34. 5 inches in width to fit through the access doorway. The project also involves testing and commissioning the new system, providing a commissioning report, as-built drawings, and operation/maintenance manuals. Contractor responsibilities include obtaining permits, providing all equipment and labor, coordinating utility shutdowns, and training facility staff. Owner responsibilities include providing site access and existing drawings. Acceptance criteria focus on the generator's capacity, ABT function, exhaust and ventilation performance, and leak-free fuel system. Contractor security requirements are stringent, including personnel lists, photo identification, and potential background checks. Work must be scheduled to minimize interference with facility operations, with specific hours of operation (7:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday-Friday, excluding federal holidays) unless otherwise approved. Advance notification is required for work commencement, final inspection readiness, and deliveries. Recycling and disposal of refuse are the contractor's responsibility. The contractor is encouraged to procure regional materials. Safety and a protected work environment are paramount, adhering to OSHA regulations. Construction inspection is the contractor's responsibility, and the government reserves the right to inspect. Temporary facilities like sanitary facilities and water/electricity connections are the contractor's responsibility. Existing utilities must be field verified, and any damage repaired at the contractor's cost. The tender also provides detailed specifications for the new generator set, including engine, alternator, cooling, fuel, and exhaust systems, as well as available voltage configurations and warranty information.
