PRE-QUALIFICATION-Purchase (6ea) 20/26/34MVA, 115/60-12.47Y/7.2kV Substation Transformers
Solicitation # PQ197857
The City of Palo Alto Utilities Department is seeking the procurement of six 20/26/34 MVA, 115/60-12.47Y/7.2 kV substation transformers under solicitation PQ197857. The procurement process begins with a pre-qualification phase to assess supplier capabilities, requiring detailed information on design and manufacturing expertise, ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications, and a proven project history. The transformers must be delivered in a staggered schedule, with two units delivered at the earliest available date, two after two years, and the final two after four years. The seller is responsible for all coordination, transportation, and off-loading, including the payment of any demurrage charges resulting from early or late arrivals. Technical requirements emphasize a minimal footprint and top-mounted vertical 12.47kV bushings for outdoor connection. Equipment must adhere to NEMA, IEEE, ANSI, and OSHA standards, with specific focus on IEEE C57 series for liquid-immersed transformers. Quality assurance is rigorous, involving a mandatory design review before materials are ordered, the use of impact recorders and accelerometers during shipping, and a comprehensive seller quality program covering procurement and special process controls. Award determination is based on the Equivalent Total Owning Cost (ETOC), which factors in the bid price and guaranteed maximum losses. Acceptance is contingent upon successful pre-shipping tests, including Sweep Frequency Response and Dew Point measurements, as well as post-shipment inspections based on recorded acceleration data.
