Packaged Substation Design, Fabrication, and Integration

The contract entails the full engineering, design, fabrication, and integration of a utility-scale packaged substation, encompassing all electrical components, structural steel, and control systems, with strict compliance to NESC and IEEE 693 seismic standards to ensure safety and resilience in earthquake-prone environments. The work requires complete turnkey delivery, from initial engineering through final integration, ensuring the substation is fully operational upon installation. The project is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 335311, indicating a focus on industrial and commercial lighting and equipment manufacturing, though the scope extends far beyond typical equipment production into complex system integration tailored for public utility infrastructure. The solicitation is issued by Public Utility District No. 1 of Lewis County in Washington, with a response deadline set for August 19, 2026. Although specific location details for performance or contact points are not provided, the substation will serve a public utility need within the agency’s service territory, likely supporting grid reliability and modernization efforts. The absence of set-aside details suggests open competition, and the online bid portal provides the sole avenue for submission, requiring bidders to navigate the publicpurchase.com platform to access full documentation and submit proposals prior to the deadline.
