The government buyer is Guilford County Facilities, Parks and Property Management, specifically managed by Kevin Bates, Project Manager. The awarded contract involves the replacement of the backup generator at the Truist Building located at 201 W. Market Street, Greensboro, NC 27401. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, tools, materials, and equipment necessary for the complete turnkey installation of a new backup generator, including the provision of a temporary 500 KW generator during the replacement to ensure the computer room remains online with downtime not exceeding 30 minutes. The existing generator and fuel tank will be removed and disposed of by the contractor, with the new diesel fuel tank specified to have a corrosion-resistant coating. The new generator will be installed on the existing concrete pad, which will be extended approximately 12 inches to support the base tank, ensuring clearance requirements are met. The contractor must coordinate with electrical contractors for installation of the concrete pad and conduit preparation prior to the changeover weekend. The contractor and any subcontractors must be licensed to perform all required work in North Carolina. Minority-owned and women-owned business participation is encouraged, with a 10% MWBE participation goal set by Guilford County. The contract includes requirements for background checks on all workers, compliance with E-Verify, and adherence to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Insurance and bonding requirements are specified, including performance and payment bonds. The contract duration is scheduled to be completed within 60 calendar days from the arrival of the generator at the site, with liquidated damages of $200 per day for delays. The contract also includes detailed MWBE guidelines and affidavits, non-collusion affidavits, and a sample contract agreement outlining terms, insurance requirements, termination clauses, and equal employment opportunity compliance. The primary vendor or OEM is not specified in the document; the contract is open for bids from qualified contractors. The place of performance is the Truist Building at 201 W. Market Street, Greensboro, NC, with administrative offices at Guilford County Facilities Department and Greensboro Engineering PLLC. The contract requires coordination with the City of Greensboro Inspections Department for permits and inspections.
