Renovation of a military facility in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Completed plans call for the renovation of a military facility.

Description of Work: Construction Work for this project shall include the disconnection and removal of one 50kW and one 75kW Liquid Propane (LP) powered backup generator and their associated transfer switches and interior controls. One new 50kW and one new 75kW LP gas powered generators are to be installed in the same locations, along with new transfer switches and interior controls. Currently there are two Generac 2000 Series LP gas powered backup generators 50kW_50kVA and 75kW_75kVA respectively, in place at the Alamogordo Air Tanker Base (ATB) and Dispatch Center. Both generators are 120/240V 60Hz single phase configuration. The 75kW generator is wired into the Dispatch Center building and the 50kW to the Air Tanker Base building. The new generators shall match the existing unit's ratings for kW, kVA, phasing, voltage, and amps. In the event of a power outage the Dispatch Center needs to remain operational for safety and personnel accountability, as it handles all the radio communication across the Lincoln National Forest and surrounding area. During the spring and summer fire season the Air Tanker Base must be able to load Air Tankers in the event of a power outage. The Tx/Rx portion of the dispatch radio system is also located in the Air Tanker Base and must remain operational during power outages. These existing generators are 10 years old and beginning to show their age. Additionally, replacement parts are becoming harder to find and increasingly expensive. As a result, the Lincoln National Forest is looking to solicit a qualified electrical contractor to replace them with new units, one for each building. Location: This project will take place at the Alamogordo Air Tanker Base and Interagency Dispatch Center located at 3500 Airport Road, Alamogordo, NM 88310.
