About this file

This is a specification document and contract proposal form for the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) in Michigan for preventative maintenance and repair services of electrical power equipment. The contract seeks to engage a contractor to perform preventive maintenance, diagnosis, troubleshooting, and repairs on medium voltage and 480V electrical equipment located at GLWA facilities throughout southeastern Michigan, including the Water Resource Recovery Facility, nine Combined Sewer Overflow facilities, five Water Treatment Plants, seventeen Treated Water Pumping Stations, and five Wastewater Pumping Stations. The contract is structured as an as-needed agreement with GLWA retaining the sole discretion to assign work to contractors, self-perform maintenance, or engage other contractors. The contractor must demonstrate at least five years of satisfactory experience with comparable services and employ technicians with NICET Level III electrical power testing certification or equivalent. The contract term is 36 months to Substantial Completion and 42 months to Final Completion, with options for up to two one-year extensions at GLWA's discretion. Preventive maintenance procedures include 23 specific PM tasks ranging from vacuum circuit breaker maintenance to infrared thermography testing, with initial intervals targeted at two to three years for most equipment and six months to one year for transformer oil tests and infrared testing.

Contract pricing is established through unit prices listed in Annex D for authorized preventive maintenance tasks, with additional costs for GLWA-authorized extra work including diagnosis, troubleshooting, and repairs paid from allowances or supplemental unit price items. Labor for extra work is compensated at hourly rates specified in unit price items #1-1, #1-2, #1-3, and #2-1, while overhead and profit are included in the unit prices with no additional markups permitted. Materials for repairs must be OEM quality or GLWA-approved equivalents, with contractor markup on parts not exceeding 15 percent and subcontractor markup limited to 5 percent. The contractor must maintain detailed records of all work, provide training to approximately 30 GLWA personnel on PM procedures and equipment troubleshooting, and warranty all repairs for 12 months covering both workmanship and parts. Unit prices remain firm throughout the original contract term; any extensions beyond the initial term will adjust unit prices using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn area. The contractor must provide emergency response availability on a 24/7 basis with a four-hour response time and coordinate all equipment shutdowns with GLWA operations to minimize service interruptions.
