Colcord Pump Station Generator

The Town of Exeter, New Hampshire will receive sealed Bids for design/build of a diesel generator and automatic transfer switch for its Colcord Sewage Lift Station until 4:00 p.m. Local Time on Monday, July 15, 2013, at the Town Offices, 10 Front Street, Exeter, New Hampshire 03833. Bids submitted after this time will not be accepted.  All Bids will be publicly opened and read aloud at the Select Board Meeting on the same day at 7:00 p.m.

Each sealed envelope containing a Bid must be plainly marked on the outside with “Bid for Colcord Station Generator – Attention Town Manager” and the envelope should bear on the outside the name of the Bidder and its address.  If forwarded by mail, the sealed envelope containing the Bid must be enclosed in another envelope addressed to the Town Manager at the above address.

In general, this project consists of, but it is not limited to, furnishing all necessary labor, materials, equipment and incidentals to install a diesel powered generator and automatic transfer switch for this single phase, 240-volt sewage lift station.  The station’s main load is two 7.5 horsepower centrifugal pumps; a 30 kW unit as a minimum size is anticipated, actual size to be determined by bidder. Pre-bid site visits by bidders are recommended to thoroughly examine existing conditions and acquaint themselves with the level of difficulty and any constraints and to determine for themselves the level of effort required to successfully perform the work. 

A copy of the Town’s diesel generator general specifications, site map, load data, etc. can be obtained from:
