Traffic Controller Uninterruptible Power Supply

The City of Burnaby is soliciting proposals for the supply and delivery of new, non-refurbished Traffic Controller Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and components to support an annual asset renewal program. The scope includes the provision of batteries, inverters, transfer switches, cabinets, and Ethernet network cards on an as-requested basis, with an estimated requirement of ten locations per year. Technical specifications require NEMA 3R rated cabinets suitable for Canadian extreme weather, compatibility with Econolite P44 and MSX Traffic Cabinets, and a transfer time not exceeding 5 milliseconds. All products must possess Canadian certification and adhere to CSA and UL standards. The contract is structured for an initial one-year term with four optional one-year renewals, totaling a potential five-year period. Award decisions will be based on the best overall value and qualification rather than the lowest price. Successful proponents must maintain comprehensive insurance, including $5 million in Commercial General Liability and $3 million in Automobile Liability, and must be in good standing with WorkSafeBC. Payments are processed via Electronic Funds Transfer net 30 days, with a 10 percent holdback per the Builders Lien Act. Late submissions are not permitted, and all proposals must be submitted electronically by October 20, 2026.
