12 kV steel structures

The City of Provo, Utah, is seeking a procurement opportunity for the fabrication and furnishing of two new tubular steel 12 kV line structures through a Request for Proposal (RFP) designated as PROVOPO202217358. The solicitation was officially opened on December 24, 2021, and closed on January 27, 2022, with the primary objective of acquiring steel poles to be purchased as a lump sum. Bidders are required to fabricate structures that precisely match design drawings and specifications, with flexibility to use their own fabricated structures as long as they conform to the constraints calculated using PLS-POLE and PLS-CADD software. The technical requirements include specific considerations for pole configurations, with documentation showing single and two-arm steel pole design options. Potential vendors must demonstrate technical capability to produce structures matching the exact engineering specifications, with commodity codes including tubes, tubing, tube fittings (40180), and steel alloys (11170). The primary point of contact for this procurement is Alfonso Cardenas, reachable at acardenas@provo.org or +1 801-852-6833, who can provide additional details about the technical requirements and procurement process.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be open to qualified steel fabrication vendors who can meet the technical specifications for the 12 kV line structures. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the RFP suggests integration with existing electrical infrastructure requiring precise pole specifications. The documents do not provide a specific budget range or definitive award value for the project, though the procurement is for a lump sum purchase of two steel poles. Potential bidders should carefully review the attached specification documents, AutoCAD drawings, PLS CADD reports, and pole sheet views to ensure complete compliance with the technical requirements. Vendors interested in responding to this opportunity should thoroughly assess their manufacturing capabilities, engineering expertise, and ability to produce structures that meet the City of Provo's precise technical specifications.
