ITB No. 1001-2025 - Power Distribution Material Supplies

The City of College Park Power Department is soliciting bids for ITB No. 1001-2025, seeking electrical distribution material supplies across 29 line items including handhole secondary splicing boxes, cut-outs, poles, transformers, PVC conduits, fiberglass rods, and various power distribution equipment. The procurement is specifically for Fulton County, Georgia, with bids due by 3:00 PM EST on Friday, January 17th, 2025, and a bid opening to be conducted via Microsoft Teams. The final day for submitting questions is January 3rd, 2025 at 12:00 noon EDT, with no pre-bid meeting required. The initial contract term is 12 months, with two optional 12-month renewal terms available. Vendors must provide FOB delivery to College Park, Georgia with freight prepaid and allowed, and maintain pricing validity for 120 days from the bid opening. The City reserves the right to make multiple awards and potentially award by individual line item, suggesting a flexible procurement approach that allows for multiple vendor selections.

The procurement allows for potential local preference for businesses located within College Park city limits if all other bid requirements are met equally. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract price for construction contracts valued at $5,000 or more. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating workers' compensation coverage, commercial general liability ($1M per claim/$2M aggregate), business auto insurance ($500K), and professional liability insurance ($1M). While specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are not explicitly detailed, the local preference clause suggests some consideration for local businesses. The bid does not specify a precise total contract value, but the extensive list of 29 line items and the potential for multiple awards indicates a significant procurement opportunity for power distribution material suppliers. Prospective bidders should carefully review the detailed specifications and ensure compliance with all insurance, bonding, and delivery requirements to maximize their chances of a successful bid.
