About this opportunity
The City of Colton Electric Utility Department is seeking bids for four (4) 1200 kVAR pole-mounted capacitor banks through a competitive procurement process located in San Bernardino County, California. The solicitation requires electronic bid submissions by September 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM PST, with delivery to the Electric Yard. Approved manufacturers include Eaton, Copper Power Systems, ABB, and other pre-approved equal manufacturers. The capacitor banks must meet specific technical specifications, including a 12.47 kV nominal system voltage, three-phase delta configuration, NEMA 3R rated enclosure, and operational capabilities in ambient temperatures ranging from -40 to +46 degrees Celsius. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including certified test reports, instruction manuals, CAD drawings, warranty statements, and a Bill of Materials. The bid will be evaluated based on two primary criteria: firm price (FOB delivered, including sales tax) and delivery time, with the city reserving the right to weight lead times equally with price if manufacturer lead times vary by more than three weeks.
No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the bid documents. The procurement appears to be open to qualified manufacturers that can meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the bid allows for both named manufacturers and those seeking prior approval as equal manufacturers. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range or total contract value, though the requirement for four capacitor banks suggests a moderate-scale procurement. Potential bidders should note the comprehensive technical requirements, including compliance with IEEE and ANSI standards, non-PCB dielectric specifications, and the need for switched control capabilities. Interested vendors must carefully review the full bid package to ensure complete alignment with the City of Colton's detailed technical and operational requirements.
