Contract source

Description

This municipal procurement seeks a qualified contractor to replace emergency‑power generators at the Wilmington Fire Department Headquarters and Fire Station 7. The work includes supplying new Generac‑based gensets, installing them, and integrating the fuel system (with optional day‑tank elimination provided proper documentation). Bidders must hold a valid North Carolina Chapter 87 contractor’s license, submit a single‑prime sealed bid, and demonstrate good‑faith effort to meet the 14 % minority‑business subcontract goal. The bid deadline has been extended multiple times, most recently to September 24 2024. Questions must be submitted by the specified deadline, and all bidders must acknowledge receipt of each addendum. No budget or contract term is disclosed, so firms must estimate costs based on typical generator replacement projects. • Scope: Replace generators at two fire‑department facilities, install Generac equipment, and configure fuel systems. • Procurement: Full and open sealed‑bid competition; single‑prime bids only; NC Chapter 87 license required. • Timeline: Latest bid submission deadline – September 24 2024 3 PM; bid opening same day.

Contract value

$250,000

No explicit monetary value appears in the solicitation package. Typical generator replacement projects for municipal fire‑department facilities involve 2‑4 industrial‑grade gensets (200‑500 kW each). Unit cost for a Generac diesel unit averages $30,000‑$45,000, with installation, testing, and fuel‑system integration adding roughly $20,000‑$30,000 per unit. Assuming four units, total equipment cost ≈ $150k‑$180k; installation and ancillary work could add another $70k‑$100k. Adding engineering, permits, and contractor overhead suggests a ball‑park contract value of **$250,000** (plus/minus 20 %). This estimate aligns with similar municipal generator‑replacement contracts in the region.
