Morris Community Correction Center Generator & ATS Replacement

The State of Delaware Department of Correction is seeking sealed bids to replace the emergency generator and Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) at the Morris Community Corrections Center in Dover. The project calls for removal of the existing diesel‑generator system, installation of a new 250 kW natural‑gas‑powered Kohler generator (Model 250REZXB) with a sound‑attenuated enclosure, and a compatible ATS, including all associated electrical, mechanical, and control work. Work must be performed within strict security and access controls, limited to weekdays 7 am‑4 pm, with a mandatory pre‑bid meeting and optional site walk‑through. Bidders must provide a 10 % bid bond, 100 % performance/payment bonds, comply with Delaware prevailing‑wage requirements, and submit a drug‑testing program affidavit. Two $25,000 allowances are included for unforeseen modifications and utility‑company gas‑service costs. • Replace existing emergency generator with a 250 kW natural‑gas Kohler unit and new ATS. • Provide all labor, materials, temporary power, and required testing/commissioning. • Meet emissions limits, sound‑attenuation (≤75 dB at 25 ft), and integration with building automation. • Strict security clearance, background checks, and limited work hours for a correctional‑facility environment. • Mandatory 10 % bid security, 100 % performance/pay bonds, and adherence to Delaware prevailing‑wage rates.
