Replace and commission three UPS battery strings at North Carolina’s Eastern Data Center

North Carolina is seeking a contractor to replace and commission three UPS battery strings at its Eastern Data Center. - Government buyer: North Carolina Department of Information Technology (NCDIT), Eastern Data Center; the solicitation is issued through the State of North Carolina Construction Office. - Scope: Replace three existing valve-regulated, recombinant lead-acid battery strings in existing racks. Each string has 240 batteries, for 720 batteries total. - Named battery OEMs: EnerSys, C&D Technologies, and GNB Industrial Power are identified as acceptable manufacturers. No specific battery part number is given. - Technical requirements: Batteries are specified with six posts per cell and nominal 2,000 Ah capacity at an eight-hour rate. The documents give inconsistent UPS capacity references—825 kVA and 750 kVA—so the applicable capacity should be confirmed. - Work and facility requirements: Replace, test, and commission each string so it is operating within one weekend; affect only one UPS per weekend. Coordinate utility interruptions in advance, maintain existing services except during scheduled interruptions, and dispose of removed batteries in accordance with applicable requirements. - Other named organization: Wiley|Wilson is identified in the initial notice as the project contact/consultant, not as a battery OEM. - Schedule information: The attachment conflicts on the overall construction period, stating both 180 and 365 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The one-weekend-per-string requirement is also specified. - Notice update: The latest notice provides a pre-bid meeting location at 3700 Wake Forest Rd, Raleigh, NC 27609, and says no attachments are provided. The earlier attachment is the only procurement attachment in the history, so its current availability should be confirmed.
