Wood Pole Inspection, Treatment, and Restoration

AMP is seeking contractors to perform a comprehensive inspection, treatment, and restoration program for its wood pole infrastructure, following a 10-year inspection cycle last completed in 2017. The estimated inventory includes approximately 3,700 poles, though this number is not definitive due to known inaccuracies in asset records. Of these, about 634 poles are estimated to be less than 10 years old and will generally undergo visual inspections only, while an estimated 3,066 poles are anticipated to require intrusive inspections, subject to field verification, unknown age determinations, and final direction from AMP. Payment will be based solely on authorized, fully documented, completed, and accepted quantities, ensuring transparency and accuracy in compensation. The solicitation, numbered CPS 07-26-03, was posted on July 31, 2026, with a response deadline of September 2, 2026, and is managed by the Engineering and Operations division of the City of Alameda, California, with inquiries directed to Gary Spenik and Ikue Suto-McNiff.
