The procurement seeks qualified and authorized suppliers to provide pad-mounted switchgear equipment in two voltage classes (15 kV and 25 kV) across multiple configurations (Types 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13), including live-front padmount switches (PMH series), dead-front padmount switches (PME series), and source-transfer switches with ratings from 200 amperes to 600 amperes continuous. All switchgear must be factory-assembled, tested, and certified with manufacturer test reports provided upon request. Proposals are due September 11, 2026, and bidders must submit overall physical dimensions with their proposals and final shop drawings within thirty days of purchase order award.

Compliance with IEEE Standard 27, ANSI Standards C37.20 and C57.12.28, and NEMA Standard SG.5 is mandatory. Safety features include deadfront design, removable barriers, padlocking capability, full fault-duty grounding, and ANSI Z535-compliant warning signage. Cable entrance is from the bottom, adaptable for padmount terminations or stress cones. Optional features available for pricing include stainless steel enclosures, fuse storage provisions, fault indicator provisions, alternate fuse handling mechanisms, enhanced ventilation, bilingual labeling, and base spacers. Lead times range from 1 to 17 days depending on model and configuration.
