FY26-DDOT-IPMA-DC PLUG Feeder 75 - Construction

The District of Columbia Department of Transportation is preparing for the construction of underground power infrastructure to relocate PEPCO’s overhead power lines and install new facilities to better serve residents across the city. This initiative, forecasted under FY26-DDOT-IPMA-DC PLUG Feeder 75, aims to enhance urban aesthetics, improve public safety, and increase the resilience of the local electrical grid by moving critical power distribution systems below ground. The project is part of a broader effort to modernize the city’s utility infrastructure and align with long-term transportation and community development goals. The contract is scheduled for posting on July 23, 2026, and falls under the jurisdiction of DDOT, with work expected to occur throughout the District of Columbia. While specific details such as the NAICS code, set-aside provisions, and exact performance locations are not yet defined, the initiative will require coordination with utility providers, local stakeholders, and regulatory agencies to ensure minimal disruption during construction. The project will involve excavation, conduit installation, new substations or transformer placements, and full integration with existing power networks, all in compliance with municipal codes and environmental standards.
