Equipment_list_2025.xlsx

This Equipment List 2025 document is a comprehensive inventory and engineering estimate for the City of Palo Alto Utilities' substation equipment painting project, covering seven electric substations across the city's distribution system: Adobe Creek, Colorado, Maybell, Hansen Way, Hanover, Park Boulevard, and Quarry. The project scope encompasses surface preparation and painting services for transformers, breakers, switchgear, capacitor houses, dead-end structures, control cabinets, and associated components. The equipment inventory identifies specific manufacturers, model numbers or dimensions, and quantities for each item across all seven substations, with the Colorado substation containing the largest quantity of equipment requiring treatment, including 29 distinct items ranging from transformers manufactured by RTE and Federal Pacific to breakers from ITE and Siemens, and various structural components.

The engineering estimate establishes a four-year project timeline with mobilization costs of $100,000 in Year 1 and $20,000 for subsequent years. Year 1 painting costs total $840,500 distributed across multiple substations: Colorado ($209,500), Hansen Way ($150,000), Quarry ($167,000), Park Boulevard ($99,000), Maybell ($70,000), Hanover ($58,000), and Adobe Creek ($87,000), resulting in a Year 1 project total of $940,500. Years 2, 3, and 4 show reduced annual expenditures of $299,500, $327,000, and $274,000 respectively, with a final Year 5 mobilization cost of $20,000. An alternative prioritized bid list for Year 1 work focuses on Colorado substation equipment, with estimated costs ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 per item and a total first-year priority cost of $239,000, allowing the city flexibility in phasing the project based on budget availability and operational priorities.
