About this file

This is a bid form issued by the City of Palo Alto for the repair and refurbishment of a 15 MVA Allis Chalmers substation transformer. The project involves the complete replacement of a 1967 TLH-21 onload tap changer (OLTC) with a certified remanufactured unit, comprehensive oil handling and processing for both the OLTC and main transformer tanks, replacement of leaking radiator valves and gaskets, removal and replacement of the 60 kV SMD fuse holder, and execution of all required pre- and post-work diagnostic testing including power factor testing, TTR, excitation, winding resistance, SFRA, DGA, and oil quality analysis. The scope encompasses the drainage of approximately 4,348 gallons of oil from the main tank into a contractor-provided holding tanker for later reuse and approximately 760 gallons from the OLTC tank, with resealing of all interfaces to eliminate oil transfer. The bid form requires contractors to provide a base bid for all labor, equipment, materials, transportation, taxes, profit, insurance, bonds, and overhead necessary to complete the work, with provisions for supplemental unit pricing, additive alternate bids, and deductive alternate bids as applicable.

The bid form requires contractors to acknowledge receipt of all addenda issued during the bid process and provide comprehensive representations and warranties regarding the accuracy of submitted information, lack of collusion, appropriate licensing under California Business & Professions Code Section 7028, and full site inspection. Bidders must identify a designated contact person, provide a subcontractor listing, and submit their proposal with authorized signature attesting that the signatory has legal capacity to bind the bidder. All bid items shall include applicable taxes, profit, insurance, bonds, and other overhead costs. The City of Palo Alto Utilities will handle disposal of any transformer oil not intended for reuse. The contract documents include instructions to bidders, general conditions, project plans, and technical specifications that are incorporated by reference into all submitted bids.
