DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Providence, Rhode Island seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive transfer switch services. The scope includes annual maintenance, repair, and replacement of transfer switches and related components, with repairs and replacements conducted on an as-needed basis.

The work will involve recording essential data such as nameplate information, model or catalog number, serial number, voltage, and amperage. Vendors will also need to document switch locations and designations, review reports from previous years, and assess manual switches for proper operation and continuity. Additional tasks include recording amperage on main contacts (normal and emergency), checking engine start battery voltage while at rest and during cranking, and inspecting enclosure door locking mechanisms.

A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 30, 2026, and all questions must be submitted no later than May 7, 2026.
