This is Addendum 5 to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) Request for Qualifications for the Traction Power Substation Rehabilitation Program – Contract 5, covering the Broad, Loudon, Park, and Castor substations. The file consists of single-line diagrams showing emergency lighting systems for SEPTA's Orange Line, Blue Line, and Green Line transit routes. These technical drawings provide electrical schematic information relevant to the project scope, which involves final design completion and construction of comprehensive traction power substation upgrades including replacement of 13.2kV and 12kV switchgear, DC rectifier systems (750VDC and 600VDC), transformers, station batteries, protective relays, SCADA systems, lighting, and fire protection systems across four substations. The project also encompasses environmental remediation work including asbestos removal, lead paint abatement, contaminated soil remediation, and PCB surveys. Proposals are due July 15, 2026 at 11:00 AM, with a pre-qualification meeting scheduled for June 10, 2026 via Microsoft Teams at 9:00 AM and mandatory site visits on June 11-12, 2026. The contract duration is 2,035 calendar days from Notice to Proceed.

This is a two-step federal construction procurement where Step One involves technical qualification evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis, and only pre-qualified firms will receive Step Two sealed-bid documents for pricing submission. The contractor must perform at least 20% of work with its own forces. While no specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal is established, SEPTA encourages DBE and small business participation in accordance with 49 CFR Parts 26.39 and 26.51. Bid security of 5% is required along with 100% performance and labor/material payment bonds. All steel products must comply with Pennsylvania's Steel Products Procurement Act and federal Buy America requirements. Bids remain firm for 90 days from opening, and awards will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on combined pricing across four parts organized by construction trade. Questions are due by 12:00 PM on June 24, 2026 to jbenante@septa.org.
