About this file

This document is Addendum 3 for KEYS Bid 12-25, a specification for the purchase of a power transformer by the KEYS (Keys Energy Services). The addendum provides clarifications and responses to potential bidders' questions regarding the procurement process. The bid allows for international manufacturers to submit proposals, with a preference for North American manufacturing, provided all ANSI, IEEE, and NEMA standards are met. There is no fixed delivery date, and lead time will be a significant factor in bid evaluation, with shorter lead times viewed more favorably.

Regarding pricing, KEYS will consider bids that include escalating pricing, as long as the components subject to escalation are clearly defined and tied to easily discernible metrics. The organization reserves the right to weigh the inclusion of escalating pricing in its award determination. The addendum demonstrates flexibility in the bidding process while maintaining standards for manufacturing quality, delivery expectations, and pricing transparency.

KEYS BID 12-25 SPECIFICATIONS FOR PURCHASE OF POWER TRANSFORMER

Addendum 3

Questions and Answers:

1. Can the city accept this unit and its components/parts made outside of North America?

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.

2. Is there any expected delivery date?

KEYS does not have a fixed delivery date.

3. How will bid evaluation consider the lead time?

Lead time will be taken into account as a significant factor in the bid evaluation process. It will be carefully considered and weighted, with shorter lead times viewed more favorably.

4. Can the city accept the escalating pricing?

Please clarify the definition of “escalating pricing”. Generally, KEYS will not deem a bid non-compliant for including some manner of “escalating pricing”, provided it is clear the components to which escalations may apply, and potential escalations are tied to metrics which are readily, and easily, discernable. However, KEYS reserves the right to weigh a bidder’s inclusion of “escalating pricing” in making its award determination.
