About this file
This document is Addendum 3 for KEYS Bid 11-25, issued by Keys Energy Services in Florida, addressing specifications for the purchase of an autotransformer. The addendum provides clarifications and answers to eight specific vendor questions regarding the bid, including eligibility for international manufacturers, service partner requirements, delivery logistics, tank and radiator specifications, and transformer design options. KEYS will evaluate proposals for three bidding options: an all stainless steel tank (base bid), a mild steel tank with stainless steel top (alternate bid 1), and an all mild steel tank (alternate bid 2). The scope of work includes fabrication, delivery, unloading, field assembly, and field testing, with KEYS providing a foundation upon transformer arrival.
The addendum indicates that while KEYS maintains a preference for North American manufacturing, bids from international manufacturers are acceptable provided all ANSI, IEEE, and NEMA standards are fully met. Specific technical requirements include transformer accuracy classes (C400 for most CTs, C100 for X2 WTI CT), dimensional restrictions based on an existing transformer outline, and mandatory stainless steel components including radiators, control cabinet, and nitrogen cabinet. Alternate paint options may be considered if deemed equivalent by KEYS. The document also confirms that U.S.-based service partners are acceptable, and KEYS will assist with coordination for delivery, including potential barge offloading at the Florida Keys Aqueduct facility if bridge restrictions necessitate.

KEYS BID 11-25 SPECIFICATIONS FOR PURCHASE OF AUTOTRANSFORMER
Addendum 3
Questions and Answers:
1. Can international manufacturers (outside North America) submit bids provided all ANSI, IEEE, and NEMA standards are fully met?
Yes. Bids from international manufacturers, provided that all applicable ANSI, IEEE, and NEMA standards are fully met, can be submitted as well.
2. Would a domestic U.S.-based service partner satisfy the requirement for field service availability in the Southeast?
Yes, a U.S.-based service partner is acceptable.
3. If barge delivery is required due to bridge restrictions, will KEYS assist with coordination or provide guidance for offloading at the Florida Keys Aqueduct facility?
Yes. KEYS can assist with coordination efforts and provide guidance for offloading at the Florida Keys Aqueduct facility, if barge delivery becomes necessary due to bridge restrictions.
4. Are the two Stainless Steel tank requirements a Must Have for Keys Energy to evaluate a Bid?
KEYS will evaluate proposals received for the base bid, alternate bid 1, or alternate bid 2. Bidding one of the three options is acceptable.
5. This RFQ requires 1 design for full stainless-steel tank and radiators. A second design is for a steel tank with stainless steel cover and stainless-steel radiators. We can’t build all stainless steel tank, but we can build a steel tank with a stainless steel cover. We can’t use stainless steel radiators. Also, we won’t be able to use the Acrolon Ultra High gloss paint. We will use our standard paint. Will the customer accept a bid with these exceptions?
There are 3 options to bid:
-All stainless steel tank (Base bid) -Mild steel tank with stainless steel top (alternate bid 1) -All mild steel tank (alternate bid 2)
All 3 options must have stainless steel radiators, stainless steel control cabinet, and stainless steel nitrogen cabinet.
Alternate paint options are acceptable if KEYS deems it to be an equivalent.

6. Is the following Scope-of-Work correct for each Vendor and included in their selling Price: 1. Deliver Transformer to Key West, FL. 2. Unload Transformer onto permanent Foundation. Foundation supplied by Keys Energy Services. 3. Field Assemble Transformer including Oil-Filling. 4. Field Testing.
Yes. The scope of work includes fabrication, delivery, unloading, field assembly, and field testing. KEYS will have a foundation ready upon transformer arrival.
7. The current Transformer Accuracy is not specified in spec-please provide. Also, this seems to be a replacement unit. Can you confirm if there are any dimension restrictions? If possible, please provide the dimensions or the previous nameplate.
All CT’s should be C400 accuracy class except for X2 WTI CT, which is a C100. An outline drawing of the existing transformer is posted within the bid specs. The new proposed transformer should not exceed these dimensions.
8. Would you be open to considering a bid for transformers manufactured in South Korea, including the steel tank?
While KEYS maintains a preference for North American manufacturing, bids from international manufacturers can be submitted as well, provided that all applicable ANSI, IEEE, and NEMA standards are fully met
