THREE PHASE 23KV PADMOUNT TRANSFORMERS

The Peabody Municipal Light Plant (PMLP) is soliciting bids for three-phase 23kV padmount transformers, specifically 60HZ, mineral oil immersed, class OA rated self-cooled, compartmental-type distribution transformers rated 3000KVA and smaller. The requirements include units with a primary voltage of 22,860 GRD Y / 13,200 volts and 125KV BIL insulation. Specific line items include 750 KVA, 1000 KVA, and 2000 KVA transformers with 480 Y / 277 secondary voltages and loop switches. All equipment must comply with the latest IEEE standard C57.12.34. The award process heavily weights transformer efficiency, requiring bidders to provide guaranteed maximum no-load and full-load losses, percent impedance, and detailed construction drawings. Bidders must provide firm pricing valid for 60 days, and those without upward escalator clauses are preferred. Deliveries must be made to the Peabody, Massachusetts jobsite between 08:00am and 03:00pm, with 72 hours' advance notice and packaging that allows for fork truck offloading from the rear. Payment is set at 100% of the quoted price within 30 days of delivery and inspection. Compliance requirements include adherence to the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, PMLP safety rules, and Massachusetts tax laws under MGL c. 62C, §49A. Submissions must include a Certificate of Non-Collusion, tax compliance certification, and PCB certification prior to shipment.
