2025 Pole Replacement Project

The Green Island Power Authority (GIPA) is soliciting proposals for a 2025 Pole Replacement Project located in Green Island, New York, within Albany County. The procurement involves comprehensive electrical infrastructure maintenance, specifically targeting three distinct job sites: Arch Street, James Street, and Albany Avenue. Contractors will be responsible for replacing 45' utility poles, associated hardware, and secondary electrical lines, with precise specifications for each location including pole and hardware replacements and secondary line upgrades. The Request for Proposals (RFP) requires bidders to submit three separate job cost amounts, provide proof of Workers Compensation and General Liability Insurance, and complete a Non-Collusion Bidding Certification. Key procurement dates include an on-site contractors meeting on September 3, 2025, at 50 Cohoes Avenue, and a proposal submission deadline of September 11, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Contractors must adhere to prevailing wage requirements, OSHA standards, and NYS Labor Law compliance, and will be responsible for material procurement, transportation, traffic control, and safety procedures.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on participating organizations. Contractors must be capable of meeting comprehensive technical and safety requirements, including supplying a detailed materials list 4-6 weeks prior to project commencement and coordinating potential power outages with GIPA. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves infrastructure replacement across multiple locations, suggesting a potentially significant investment. The project is classified as a prevailing rate job, indicating standardized wage requirements for workers. Contractors will be responsible for picking up materials at 50 Cohoes Avenue and delivering them to job sites, as well as managing all associated logistical and safety components. The mandatory project completion is set for November 30, 2025, providing contractors with a clear timeline for executing the pole replacement work.
