Transformer Testing

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking information from vendors who can provide transformer testing services, including cleaning and testing of 28 liquid-cooled medium voltage transformers. The work includes inspecting for signs of overheating, damage to housings, and testing cooling liquids. The vendor will need to provide action plans and notice if power shutdowns are required. The contract is expected to be a firm-fixed price service purchase, and the period of performance is 90 days from award. The vendor will need to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and provide personnel with worker's compensation, professional liability insurance, and other benefits. Some key points to consider include: * The vendor will need to check in at the facility and review LOTO procedures before starting work. * The facility presumes no power shutdowns are needed, but the vendor must provide notice if that is not the case. * The vendor will need to provide frequent enough service prior to and after recognized holidays. * The contractor shall be responsible for protecting personnel furnishing services under this contract.
