Description
The Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA) is seeking a vendor to replace two stationary lead‑acid battery banks (primary and backup) at its GREC 3 balance‑of‑plant facility. The scope includes supplying new industrial‑grade batteries that meet or exceed the existing Exide/HIT specifications, removing and environmentally‑compliant disposal of the existing batteries, full installation (including all hardware, inter‑cell connectors, and seismic restraints), charging, load‑bank testing, commissioning, and delivery of written test results and manufacturer documentation. The contract will be awarded on a lowest‑responsive‑bid basis, with strict safety, insurance, and background‑check requirements, and a preference for electronic Visa‑based payment (EPay) to reduce overall cost.
• Replace 60 cells in Bank 1 (3112 Ah) and 60 cells in Bank 2 (2904 Ah) with new lead‑acid batteries of identical dimensions (≈23 × 17 × 15 in).
• Provide complete removal, disposal, installation, testing, and documentation as a lump‑sum price (DDP).
• Submit required safety documentation (OSHA logs, NCCI sheets), non‑collusion certificate, insurance certificates, and background‑check information for all on‑site personnel.
• Bids due 10/20/2026 03:00 PM EDT via the Bid Express portal; Q&A closes 10/13/2026 09:00 AM EDT.
