This is an appendix document supporting a Request for Proposal issued by the City of Tucson for the Fabrication of Station Control Panels for the Tucson Water Department (RFP No. 240048). The appendix specifically details specifications for a Sundt Booster station control panel measuring 48 inches by 60 inches configured as a wall-mount unit. The solicitation seeks contractors to establish an annual requirements contract for fabrication of four distinct panel types: Well C-120 (48x36-inch wall mount), Sundt Booster (48x60-inch wall mount), Plane Tech DR PRV (72x48-inch freestanding), and La Paloma Reservoir & Booster (72x72-inch freestanding). The City anticipates purchasing approximately 20 panels annually and will award multiple contracts to ensure adequate product line selection and geographic coverage. A pre-submittal conference was held on December 18, 2023, with proposals due on January 10, 2024, at 2:00 PM Arizona local time. The contract will be awarded for one year with potential extensions for up to four additional one-year periods.
Contractors must be UL508A rated for building control panels, maintain a dedicated controlled environment for fabrication, and be located within Arizona to facilitate contract administration and testing. The estimated annual spend is approximately $980,000, with the City reserving the right to adjust panel purchases based on operational needs. Evaluation will prioritize qualifications, experience, and pricing, with awards going to contractors offering the most advantageous quotes regarding price and delivery time for specific panel jobs as they arise. The procurement includes Section 3 Program requirements mandating that 25 percent of labor hours be performed by Section 3 Workers and 5 percent by Targeted Section 3 Workers. Panels must be completely assembled, wired, and tested to UL 508 rating standards, with all necessary documentation, calibration certificates, and as-built drawings provided. Contractors must supply Allen-Bradley components as spare parts, including CompactLogix controllers, I/O modules, interface cards, display units, and network switches.
