Description

The United States Air Force solicits a Request for Technical Proposals for  FA5575-26-B-0002. This project consists in the installation of new permanent emergency generators with automatic transfer switches and related accessories (grounding, underground lines, interior electrical installation, etc.) for continuous electrical supply to various facilities on base to include the Base Power Plant (Bldg #212) and the Water Treatment Sewage Plant (Bldg #1215). All of the emergency generators on those sites have reached their useful life and are identified for replacement under the Morón Generator Replacement Plan. Also, Bldg #1215 is fed from a pole-mounted transformer that has caused several bird shock hazards causing electrical power outages; remains of HV OH line will also be replaced with UG sections.

This requirement will be procured using RFO 14.211 and RFO 36, Sealed Bidding and Construction Contracts. The two-step sealed bidding method will be used.
