The Agency hereby provides notice that it entered into an emergency contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1570 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Department of Engineering & Facilities (E&F) in accordance with §11-35-1570 (B) of the SC Consolidated Procurement Code, and in accordance with Regulation 19-445.2110 is announcing the award of an emergency procurement to Feyen Zylstra LLC to replace the CHRP MV Cable from B2 Switch to XFMR.On February 20, 2026, power was lost to CHP-A, CHP-B, and the Ashley Rutledge Garage due to insulation failure in the underground medium-voltage (13.8 kV) feeder lines. Subsequent testing confirmed that all three phases failed insulation resistance testing. The failure of the underground medium-voltage primary feeders disrupted electrical service to three buildings that provide critical access for patient care and academic training for the College of Health Professions. Electricity to these facilities is currently being supplied by an emergency generator. Immediate replacement of the underground medium-voltage feeders is necessary to restore reliable power to these three critical MUSC facilities. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. Telephone responses will not be accepted. Bidder’s right to protest as listed in Section 11-35-4210 in the South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code applies to this announcement of an emergency procurement.
