Powerstrut Equipment & Misc Electrical Parts

The City of Pasadena Water and Power Department is soliciting bids under solicitation number 2026-IFB-MS-0545 for a vendor to furnish and deliver powerstrut equipment and miscellaneous electrical parts. These materials, which include insulators, channels, support hardware, and clamps, are essential for the maintenance, repair, and upgrade of the city's electrical grid across several divisions, including Transmission and Distribution and Electric Engineering. The contract is structured for a three year base term with two optional one year extensions. All materials must be delivered in new and unused condition to the PWP Materials Warehouse and must meet applicable industry standards with no substitutions permitted. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the lowest grand total price. Evaluation factors include material quality, bidder capability, financial resources, and past performance. Because the project may be FEMA funded, it is subject to specific federal requirements, including prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment and mandates for recovered materials. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically via the city's eProcurement Portal by 12:00 pm on October 28, 2026, and must provide required documentation such as Form AA-1, a Declaration of Non-Collusion, and a 12 character alphanumeric Unique Entity Identifier from SAM.gov. Administrative requirements include submitting invoices through the city's Vendor Invoice Portal, with payments processed by Accounts Payable on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The vendor is responsible for prepaying transportation charges, which must be listed separately on invoices. Additionally, the selected contractor must comply with the California Division of Industrial Relations Safety Orders, the Prevailing Wage Law under Labor Code Section 1781, and various disability rights standards, including the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
