Background:
This request is for a new 1,000-kilowatt generator at the men’s ACF facility. This new generator will work in conjunction with the existing generator to provide full redundancy during utility power outages. The new generator will have a separate diesel belly tank and will be tied into the building’s bulk underground diesel tank supply for extended utility outages. New electrical switch/parallel gear will be provided to operate both generators in a load sharing or full redundant configuration. Civil work is included to add louvers for venting of engine and fuel tank exhaust through the roof of the building.
The addition of a new generator will provide for better confidence to weather unexpected utility outages. It also provides redundancy during generator maintenance periods. This addition to the facility’s electrical service will enhance the life safety systems and institution security.
Through a best value procurement process, a Request for Proposals was released on October 8, 2024. Four (4) proposals were received. Based on the results of interviews, cost, and written submittals, Sheehy Construction Company, received the highest score, and is recommended for this project.
