INDUSTRY DAY/PRE-PROPOSAL NOTICE FOR GSU TRANSFORMERS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENTS Everyone is invited to attend an Industry Day focused on the Bureau of Reclamation's requirement for "GSU Transformers and Associated Equipment Replacements" (reference number R12PS40038). This event is being hosted by the Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, at the Glen Canyon Dam Power Plant in Page, AZ. Note that a separate Industry Day will be conducted for another Bureau of Reclamation requirement entitled "Glen Canyon Power Plant Generators G1, G3, G5, and G6 Rewinds (Roebel Design Rebuilds)" (reference number R12PS40054) on the day after this Industry Day. Search FedBizOpps to find the Industry Day notice for the "Glen Canyon Power Plant Generators G1, G3, G5, and G6 Rewinds (Roebel Design Rebuilds") Project (reference number R12PS40054). PURPOSE: To determine vendor interest and industry capabilities. This will be a forum for prospective offerors to hear the details of the project by the Glen Canyon Power plant team, both in the form of a pre-proposal conference and a site visit, and to facilitate a question-and-answer session. Information gained may be incorporated into the future solicitation or used as a basis for additional research into alternative methods of procuring these services. Participants will be given ample opportunities to talk directly with the Glen Canyon Power plant team during this Industry Day. TARGET AUDIENCE: Interested and potential offerors including prime contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, and contractors interested in teaming or joint venture arrangements. All should be aware that two (2) separate Industry Days are being conducted back-to-back for two separate projects (GSU Transformers and Associated Equipment Replacements and the Generator Rebuilds) at the same location. This was done recognizing that potential offerors and interested vendors may have an interest in both projects and therefore could attend on both days without expending time and incurring costs for two separate visits.
