AI overview

The City of Homestead is issuing this Invitation to Bid (ITB) to procure two (2) low voltage switchboards for the wastewater treatment plant backup generator system, as part of a federally funded critical infrastructure resilience project. The project is supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant Mitigation Program (CDBG-MIT) I0127. This solicitation covers the pre-purchase of a generator output switchboard (SWBD-GEN) with a permanent portable generator connection and a distribution switchboard (SWBD-DIST) housing an Automatic Transfer Controller (ATC). The selected vendor must provide all necessary equipment, materials, transportation, and services for delivery, including fuel, power, and communication capabilities, as well as training and installation instruction.

The generator output switchboard will serve as the common collection point for three diesel generators operating in parallel under a Master Paralleling Controller. It will combine generator outputs into a single connection to power the distribution switchboard. The switchboard also includes a permanent connection for a portable generator, as required by the National Electrical Code, ensuring operational continuity during maintenance or when permanent generators are unavailable. The ATC in the distribution switchboard will automatically monitor, control, and transfer between utility and generator power during outages, returning load to utility power when conditions stabilize.

This ITB requires compliance with numerous federal regulations, including 2 CFR Part 200, Executive Order 11246, the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. The City encourages participation from MBE/WBE/DBE firms. The Build America, Buy America Act preferences do not apply to CDBG-MIT grants. All procurement must follow state and federal guidelines for federally funded projects.

Key dates include a Q&A deadline on October 6, 2026, at 9:00 PM ET, and a proposal deadline on October 13, 2026, at 6:00 PM ET. The solicitation was released on September 18, 2026. Bidders should review the attached specifications (Attachment D - Revised Switchboard Specifications Addendum No. 1) and drawings (Attachment E) for detailed technical requirements. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
