Padmount Solid Dielectric Switchgear and Integrated Automation - Purchase Order

The City of Anaheim is seeking proposals for a purchase order to acquire 15 kV Pad-Mounted Solid Dielectric Insulated Switchgear with integrated automation cabinets, specifically configured under three stock codes: PDSS-9, PDSS-10, and PDSS-11. Delivery is phased beginning in January 2027 with the first unit of PDSS-11, followed by the remaining 21 units by December 2027, and 600-amp vacuum fault interrupters starting in May 2027 with the balance due by March 2028. All equipment must fully comply with APU technical specifications and industry standards including ANSI, IEEE, NEMA, and ASTM, with vacuum fault interrupters and pre-wired automation cabinets containing Schweitzer relays and controllers. The procurement is part of a future retrofit program and requires BABA compliance, mandating domestic content certification for iron, steel, and manufactured products, with proposals contingent on waivers carrying unacceptable risk and subject to rejection. Technical compliance is evaluated first in a mandatory pass/fail gate per each stock code, with only those passing advancing to Phase 2 pricing evaluation, which accounts for 40% of the overall award decision under a trade-off approach, not LPTA. Deliveries are FOB to Anaheim, requiring careful packaging, corrosion protection, and piece marking with the purchase order number; match marking is required for disassembled components. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal with comprehensive documentation including shop drawings, test reports, and a detailed pricing workbook. The solicitation requires affirmative certifications on employee qualifications, conflict of interest under California law, business licensing and DIR registration, insurance coverage, and prohibited use of Anaheim logos without authorization. No FAR clauses are formally cited; compliance is driven by custom RFP language and required certifications embedded in the submission form. UEI is required for federal reporting but not provided in the solicitation. No contract value is disclosed as pricing details are to be submitted by offerors and no CLIN structure is pre-defined. Inspection rights remain with the City, which may choose to inspect at origin or destination, but the contractor retains full responsibility for conformance regardless of inspection.
