Electrical Gear for New Boulder Hub

Boulder County is conducting a procurement opportunity for electrical equipment replacement at a recently acquired 20-year-old building, designated as BID-218-25-2. The county seeks to standardize its electrical infrastructure by replacing all panel boards and the Main Distributor Center (MDC) with either Eaton CH or G.E. ABB equipment. The comprehensive procurement includes nine specific line items: high-voltage and low-voltage panels for first and second floors, transformers ranging from 30KVA to 75KVA, an E-Gauge sub metering system, a 1600-amp main distributor panel, and surge protection devices. All electrical components must feature copper bussing and copper windings, with high-efficiency transformers. Vendors are required to provide materials only, as labor will be performed by Boulder County personnel. The bid opening is scheduled for December 30, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. via Microsoft Teams, with all questions directed to procurement@bouldercounty.gov. An optional section allows vendors to bid on additional equipment, including a natural gas generator and auto transfer switch.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, though vendors must complete a vendor information form through the Bonfire platform. The form requires comprehensive company details, including organizational structure, authorized contact information, and company address. While no explicit disadvantaged enterprise requirements are noted, the county demonstrates commitment to accessibility and equal opportunity, as evidenced by their ADA and EEO notices. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the documents, though the procurement covers electrical infrastructure for a significant county facility. An optional bid section for additional equipment suggests potential flexibility in project scope. Vendors must strictly adhere to the specified equipment brands (Eaton CH, G.E. ABB, with optional generator brands of Cummins, Kohler, or Caterpillar) and will be evaluated based on their ability to meet precise technical specifications detailed in the one-line electrical diagram.
