The project involves comprehensive repair work across six substations, targeting 67 steel lattice structures comprising 244 total legs and their corresponding concrete foundations. Bidders are required to submit electronic proposals by 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, with a tentative project timeline from contract award in September 2025 to project completion by February 2026. Site visits are available by appointment with Sam Gaccione, and bidders are encouraged to inspect the substations to understand the fabrication work required. The steel repairs will involve materials ranging from 1.5 x 1.5 inch to 8 x 8 inch angled steel, with thicknesses between .20 and .60 inches.

The contract is structured as a not-to-exceed pricing arrangement, with contractors expected to provide detailed labor and material costs for each substation location.
