4487-0004 Dare County Generator Installation

The North Carolina Department of Public Safety (DPS), Division of Emergency Management (NCEM) is seeking bids from qualified, highly skilled Vendors to perform, or cause to be performed, installation of an emergency backup generator in Dare County. This includes design, engineering, unloading, installation, connection and testing of the generator at critical facilities which are eligible for such units through the NCEM Hazard Mitigation program.The State of North Carolina can often be faced with hurricanes, tropical storms, severe storms, tornadoes, and winter weather that pose annual and serious threats to lives and properties of communities throughout the State. During These events, normal power services provided by local utility companies are often impacted and critical services that rely on these power sources for operations can be shut down. One major goal of the NCEM Hazard Mitigation section is to facilitate access to necessary and available Federal funding in order to build resilient communities to lessen the impacts these disasters impose on the citizens of North Carolina.A Federal declaration of disaster allows for the availability of funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). Through this program, the NCEM Hazard Mitigation section is seeking bids from Vendors interested in providing construction management, design, construction and installation services for generator at critical facilities serving various populations at risk from future events.The State intends to select Vendors that demonstrate the capability and capacity of completing work in counties and jurisdictions approved through the Federal disaster declaration. The Vendor(s) will manage the operations and execution of all construction, engineering and installation services related to the project. The Vendor(s) will be expected to participate in regular and frequent correspondence with the State Hazard Mitigation Office and the Project Managers dedicated to the project in reference to timeline, budget, and overall implementation of the project
