1.16 TRANSPORTATION

Due to the geographical location of Key West, special attention to the method of transport is required. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) may or may not permit truck transport over the series of bridges that connect the Florida Keys depending on transformer size and weight. It is advisable to start the FDOT Permit process well in advance of the shipping date.

The series of bridges from Florida City to Key West present unusual circumstances and the permitting process is more rigorous. If FDOT will not permit truck transport, an alternative method of transport is via barge. Florida Keys Aqueduct facility has barge docking facilities and is located adjacent to the Keys Energy Warehouse property. This property is approximately 6.5 miles from the substation in which the transformer is to be installed.

• Impact recorder shall accompany the transformer during transit. The Seller shall be responsible for inspecting the transformer and impact recorder in the presence of the Purchaser upon arrival at the shipping destination to determine if any damage has occurred.

• Purchaser shall be notified by the Seller at least 2 (two) weeks prior to shipment and by the Carrier 24 hours prior to arrival of each transformer at its destination.

1.17 DELIVERY & WARRANTY

Delivery, inspections and acceptance will be at destination, F.O.B. Key West. Unit prices shall include delivery to Big Coppitt Substation, 910 Overseas Highway (MM 10.5 Oceanside), Big Coppitt Key, Florida. Until delivery and acceptance and after any rejections, risk of loss will be on the Manufacturer, unless loss results from negligence of KEYS.

The supplier shall propose a delivery schedule to minimize transformer cost. All transformers shall be delivered to their respective substation Transformer assembly and electrical testing shall be done at their respective substation with the transformers in their transit ready state.

The supplier shall be responsible for delivery and offloading of the transformer to the KEYS substations in Key West, and Cudjoe Key, Florida. Bidder shall consider all KEYS delivery blackout dates, as listed in Appendix A.

Supplier warranty shall be 18 months from time of delivery. Anticipated dates and final locations of transformers and restrictions on installation are listed below to aid manufacture in proposal of delivery schedule. An optional three (3) year extended warranty shall be provided on the Proposal Page.

Blackout Delivery Dates January 1st & 2nd July 29th & 30th (Mini Season) October Goombay through Fantasy Fest November Election Day November Week of Thanksgiving December Week of Christmas December 31st (New Year’s Eve)

1.18 PROPOSAL CONTENTS & EVALUATION

The proposal should include a description of the firm’s capabilities and experience with providing the requested services, including a description of any special qualifications which are indicative of working familiarity with similar projects.

The proposals will be evaluated. The evaluation criteria will include a variety of considerations, including, but not limited to:

1. Loss Evaluation An equivalent Total Cost shall be calculated from the transformer bid price and the present value of manufacturer’s quoted losses as shown below. The Total owning cost formula to be used is as follows:

• TOC= Price + (NL Watts x 5.405) + (LL Watts * 1.838) Where:

• TOC= Total Owning Cost.

• Price= Quoted Purchase Price.

• NL Watts= Quoted No-Load Losses in Watts.

• LL Watts= Quoted Load Loss in Watts at rated load.

TOC will be calculated for the transformer.

• No Load Watts.

• Load Loss at Rated Load.

The TOC will be one of the determining factors for the award of contract. Failure to submit transformer losses along with the bid will result in non-compliance and the bid will be rejected.

2. Transformer noise levels.

3. Range and suitability of services provided. Specifically, has servicemen available in the southeast to service the equipment.

4. Experience with similar projects and has previously made equipment such as that which he proposes to furnish.

5. Similar equipment that has been in satisfactory service of not less than five (5) years.

6. Project management approach.

7. The supplier shall propose a delivery schedule to minimize transformer costs.

8. Proposed delivery schedule

9. Country of origin

10. References
