The Pad-Mounted Switchgear Replacement Phase 2 project, initiated by Tobyhanna Army Depot, involves the complete removal and replacement of three deteriorated medium voltage pad-mounted switchgear units due to corrosion and age. The contractor is tasked with providing all necessary specifications, permits, labor, and materials for the upgrade, adhering to existing contract documents and safety regulations.
The work is structured in three separate phases, with critical elements including demolition, installation of new switchgear rated at 15kV, and detailed testing for proper operation. The project also emphasizes minimal disruption to regular operational activities at Tobyhanna Army Depot, requiring the contractor to propose a work schedule that includes off-shift hours and possibly weekends.
The contractor must also manage the environmental impact of construction, including waste management and ensuring safety protocols are followed at all times. Submittals for inspections, plans, and operational data must be made according to the specified procedures, which include government approval and detailed record-keeping. This project reflects the Army's commitment to modernizing its infrastructure while ensuring operational readiness and compliance with safety regulations.
This government document outlines a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a construction project involving the replacement of pad-mounted switchgear at Tobyhanna Army Depot. The solicitation is part of a 100% small business set-aside, with an estimated project value between $250,000 and $500,000. Offerors must submit technical proposals detailing how they will meet the government's Statement of Work, along with a price proposal utilizing a standard format (SF 1442). Key submission requirements include a bid guarantee, three past performance references, and a commitment to commence work within ten calendar days post-award, with total completion required in 485 days. Proposals are due electronically and must be received by a specified deadline. The government emphasizes that the award will be based on the best value, evaluated on technical merit, price, and past performance. Factors such as compliance with federal regulations, including wage determinations and performance bonds, are also highlighted. The document serves as a comprehensive guide for potential contractors to respond effectively to the RFP within the structure of federal procurement practices.
