Bastrop County is requesting bids for the purchase and installation of one fixed-place emergency generator and all associated electrical infrastructure required to ensure the Bastrop County Community Center has a reliable power source during emergency shelter operations. The project activities will also include the installation of a stationary power unit with a distribution panel, an automatic transfer switch, construction of a new 8.5' x 16' concrete pad used to mount and support the generator, and the construction of an anti-climbed chain link security fence. The security fence must adhere to critical safety and security specifications for proper ventilation, clearance, and access control. The materials and design should prevent unauthorized entry while complying with national and local codes like the National Electrical Code (NEC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. The security fence shall be a minimum height of seven (7) feet. An access gate must be lockable to prevent unwanted entry. The security fence shall be bonded to the grounding system and covered by the grounding grid's coverage area. There must be clear space around the generator according to the manufacturer's instructions and NFPA guidelines.
