McDuffie Main 25 kV Switchgear Upgrade Mobile, Alabama This Requisition solicits proposals for the replacement of the existing 25 kV main switchgear lineup at the McDuffie Coal Terminal in Mobile, Alabama for the Alabama Port Authority (APA) as shown in the attached Medium Voltage Switchgear Specification, Revision B. Work will be in accordance with the requirements stated herein, all referenced documents, and applicable State of Alabama Laws. The Contractor will be required to supply a delivery schedule with their bid and associated liquidated damages will be applied based on the provided schedule. APA will select the bidder whose proposal is the best value based on a combination of cost, value of proposed solution, and delivery schedule. The project specifications represent the minimum requirements each solution must meet. However, APA may determine that a proposal that exceeds the specifications may be a better value than the least costly or shortest lead time. Elements that exceed the specification may be offered as an alternate or included in the base bid. Proposals shall be valid for 60 calendar days. Specifications, proposal forms, bond forms, and plans are available on the Alabama Port Authority website.
