Summary

This is an Emergency FEMA Technical Assistance document related to the City of Pasadena's Power Delivery General Engineering Services contract opportunity. The City of Pasadena Water and Power Department (PWP), Power Delivery Division is seeking qualified professional engineering firms to provide supplemental engineering services for the safe, reliable, and efficient operation, maintenance, modernization, and improvement of its electric power delivery system. Services are organized into multiple Scope of Work Groups including Receiving Station and Substation Design, SCADA/Automation/Communications/Control Design, System Planning, Civil and Structural Engineering, Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure, and Renewable Energy/Energy Storage/Interconnection services. Associated services such as construction management, inspection, drafting, and technical support may be required under individual task orders. The City intends to award multiple contracts to establish a pool of qualified engineering consultants, with work authorized through individual task orders based on project-specific needs, consultant availability, specialized expertise requirements, and schedule considerations.

The resulting contracts are intended to supplement, not replace, PWP's internal engineering resources, with consultants unable to supervise City employees or exercise project management authority. All consultant designs and deliverables remain subject to review and approval by responsible PWP engineering groups. Work that is ongoing, predictable, or programmatic over multi-year periods will generally be performed by permanent PWP staff. The document indicates this is an emergency FEMA technical assistance matter, though specific pricing terms, funding amounts, contract duration, and renewal options are not detailed in the available information provided.
