333302-26-RF0010007 Install Emergency Generator at National Museum of American History (NMAH)
The Smithsonian Institution seeks a contractor to replace an aging emergency generator at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. The project involves installing two new 500kW natural gas-fueled generators on the roof, which requires extensive supporting work including new gas lines, electrical systems, and structural modifications while the museum remains fully operational. The total construction budget is over $10 million. The total period of performance for construction is 669 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The work must be performed with significant coordination due to the sensitive, occupied museum environment containing collections storage areas, a library, and public spaces.
