Rental of Prime Generator, San Bernardino National Forest Supervisor's Office

The Forest Service requires a prime-rated generator rental for the San Bernardino National Forest Supervisor's Office. The scope includes providing, connecting, and maintaining a 300KW prime natural gas generator and transfer switch. This rental is expected to last several months until utility power is restored. The contractor will provide 24-hour support and continuous power mitigation. This is a total small business set-aside under FAR Part 12, using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation. A previous solicitation for this requirement did not result in an award. Work takes place in San Bernardino, California, and involves a 500-foot cable run to the building basement and a bypass of the 4160V switchboard. The contractor is responsible for all permitting, including South Coast Air Quality Management District and California Air Resources Board compliance. A four-hour emergency response time is required. The Forest Service is requesting quotes for the rental, installation, and maintenance of a prime-rated generator at the San Bernardino National Forest Supervisor's Office. This RFQ, number 127EAU26Q0062, provides temporary power while utility service is restored. The acquisition is a total small business set-aside under FAR Part 12. The San Bernardino National Forest Supervisor's Office needs a prime-rated generator for continuous power. Main power has been offline since November 2025, and the existing standby unit cannot handle the continuous load required during switchgear replacement. The contractor must provide a 300KW prime generator or equivalent to support the building 24/7.
