About this file
This document is an Addendum 2 for KEYS Bid 19-25, issued by Keys Energy for Transmission Steel Pole Corrosion Protection. The bid opening has been extended to Friday, September 12, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with an electronic bid submission process. The project involves corrosion protection for transmission steel poles, with thirteen poles requiring full coatings. The addendum includes a detailed Q&A section addressing various technical aspects of the project, such as potential alternative coating systems, pole locations, surface preparation, and specific pole details.
The addendum clarifies that all equipment must be provided by the contractor, and the project focuses specifically on steel pole work. Bidders are directed to review supplementary documents including a KMZ file, pole inspection summary tables, and steel pole recommendation reports. The document indicates flexibility in evaluating alternative coating methods, with KEYS preferring their existing recommended approach but willing to consider the "Corrocoat Zip E" system. The Q&A period has been extended to September 5, 2025, and additional documentation such as steel pole drawings have been made available to potential bidders to support accurate proposal preparation.

Questions and Answers:
1. Would it be possible to offer a bid proposal for this project using the Zip E system, rather than the coating that was specified in the RFQ?
KEYS has had a comprehensive approach for steel poles in corrosive zones, which can include surface prep, industrial coatings, and sometimes cathodic protection or grounding systems. At this time, we “prefer” to utilize the existing method known and recommended to us in previous applications. However, we will entertain and evaluate the bid utilizing the “Corrocoat Zip E” as part of the bid process. Please clearly note the exception in your proposal to be considered.
2. Can you please provide a list of pole locations by line for in-scope structures?
The KMZ file, Keys Pole Inspection Summary Tables excel., and the Keys Energy Steel Pole Recommendation Report Final.pdf provides all locations, tables, lists of all poles.
Please review the link for all files.
3. Can images of the thirteen (13) poles requiring full coatings be provided to assess the amount of surface preparation required?
See “Inspection Photos and Data Final” folder in the link.
4. Will Keys Energy be providing any necessary blanketing of the distribution to make the area safe or should that be included in the price proposal.
All equipment required are to be provided by the Contractor.
5. Will the Q&A be open for another week due to the new RFP due date being extended?
KEYS is willing to provide another week. Deadline September 5, 2025.
6. There are two listed pole sizes — POLE_SIZE 70 and POLE_SIZE 75. Could you please provide any available shop drawings and detailed specifications for these poles so we can accurately estimate and finalize our proposal?
Known steel pole drawings have been added to the Link.
7. Line 7 Structure PK51 includes a “Other” repair that involves replacing a vibration damper.

Is this in scope? Can this be omitted from the scope? Though it is a simple repair, it changes the equipment and crews (QEW) needed to work on the project. If in scope, Will the vibration damper be provided by Keys?
The Vibration dampener is outside of the scope of this project and not included. Only work on the steel poles are relevant.
PK51 No Other (See Notes)
Replace broken vibration damper, middle transmission phase, 3 feet from glass string
