IFB-AM-DWM-2501-1250122 Variable Speed Drives and Controllers

The City of Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management is seeking qualified firms through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for variable speed drives, electronic components, and related ancillary equipment. The procurement encompasses six distinct material and service groups: drives, electronic control boards, discrete components, transformers/chokes/line reactors, operator interfaces, and associated services. Vendors must supply AC and DC drives ranging from 120V single phase to 4160V three phase, with equipment ratings from 1 HP to 500 HP. Critical performance requirements include supplying 90% of parts within 24 hours and the remaining 10% within 72 hours, with a mandatory 4-hour emergency on-site response time. Vendors must demonstrate comprehensive understanding of drive topologies for medium and low voltage drives and provide programming services, documentation, and technical brochures within one week of contract award. The solicitation requires all materials to be new (unless specifically authorized as refurbished), meeting UL, NEMA, IEC, and FCC standards. The bid is due on March 28, 2025, with the opportunity posted on February 19, 2025, for Fulton County and the City of Atlanta jurisdictions.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. However, potential bidders must be registered in the City of Atlanta Supplier Portal at ATLSuppliers.com to access and submit solicitations electronically. Vendors are required to provide a minimum 12-month warranty or manufacturer's warranty, whichever is greater, from the date of acceptance. Payment terms are structured as 5% 10, net 30 calendar days. While specific budget ranges were not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the solicitation suggests a potentially significant procurement value across multiple equipment groups. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in drive systems, provide comprehensive documentation, and meet stringent delivery and service response requirements.
