Quick Summary

The Bureau of Reclamation, under the Department of Interior, is conducting a Sources Sought for market research regarding CT SWITCHGEAR REPLACEMENT at the Stampede Power Plant. This effort seeks to identify qualified small businesses for electrical system upgrades. Responses are due by 5 PM PDT on April 15, 2026.

Scope of Work

The project involves significant electrical system upgrades at the Stampede Power Plant in Nevada County, California. Key tasks include:

Removal and replacement of existing DCA Switchgear 480-Volt feeder breakers (five plus one spare) with new arc-resistant enclosures and arc-limiting 480-Volt draw-out circuit breakers.
Removal and replacement of the existing DCB enclosure and integrated molded case circuit breaker distribution panel.
Removal and replacement of existing molded case circuit breaker distribution panels D1A and DCC. The work focuses on replacing switchgear with 480VAC and under, although the plant operates with 4160VAC generating units. The contractor will be required to supply necessary backup generator power, as the DCA subpanel is the main station service distribution for the entire facility. Additionally, the contractor must provide restroom facilities and hand wash stations. Regular working hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM; any work outside these hours requires two weeks' advance coordination with the COR.
