EWEB RFP 25-131 G Three Phase Network Transformers

The Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) has issued Request for Proposals (RFP) #25-131-G for Three Phase Network Transformers, seeking to establish a one-year contract with potential annual renewals up to five years. The procurement is for network transformers with specific standard ratings of 500 and 750 KVA, featuring 12 KV delta high voltage and either 216Y/125 or 480Y/277 volt low voltage configurations. Proposals are due by August 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM PT and must be submitted electronically through the OregonBuys bid site. EWEB plans to evaluate responses between August 6-13, 2025, with an Intent to Award announcement planned for August 20, 2025, and Board approval anticipated on September 2, 2025. The evaluation will utilize a pricing formula with a maximum of 25 points allocated to cost, requiring proposers to provide base pricing and weighting factors for various materials. The transformers must be new, unused, fluid-filled, and fully compliant with IEEE standards, with a comprehensive material specification (ES5-6.1300 Rev. 4) detailing exact requirements.

The RFP encourages participation from Minority, Women, and Emerging Small Businesses (M/W/ESB) and supports sustainable purchasing practices. The estimated five-year quantity includes 25 units of 500 KVA 216Y/125 volt transformers, 1 unit of 500 KVA 480Y/277 volt transformers, 1 unit of 750 KVA 216Y/125 volt transformers, and 1 unit of 750 KVA 480Y/277 volt transformers. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a substantial investment in specialized electrical infrastructure. The solicitation appears open to qualified manufacturers and suppliers capable of meeting the detailed technical specifications and performance requirements. Proposers will need to demonstrate technical expertise in producing high-quality network transformers that meet EWEB's precise engineering standards and configuration needs.
