RFQ 26-0157-BW 3 phase pad mount transformer, purchase and d

Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners is requesting quotations for the one-time purchase and delivery of a three-phase pad mount transformer under RFQ 26-0157-BW, with responses due July 24, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. local time. A 5% local-vendor preference applies to responsive, responsible quoters maintaining a permanent place of business in Palm Beach County. Small Business Development program requirements are in effect, with potential preference given to certified small businesses within 10% of the lowest responsive bid.

Quotations must be submitted on the provided Quote Response Form, signed by an authorized company representative, and may be delivered via fax or email to Bridget Williams (BWilliams@pbc.gov) at the Palm Beach County Procurement Department. All pricing must be for new merchandise free from defect, and prices must remain firm for 90 days from submission and throughout the initial and any subsequent contract term. Deliveries must occur during normal County working hours, with time being of the essence.

All quoters and subcontractors must register as vendors in the County's Vendor Self Service system prior to contract finalization. Palm Beach County is exempt from federal and state taxes; however, quoters cannot use the County's tax exemption to purchase materials from suppliers. The resulting contract comprises the RFQ, the successful quoter's response, and the County's award letter.

The contract is subject to federal compliance requirements including Uniform Guidance, E-Verify employment eligibility verification, and applicable federal terms and conditions for publicly funded contracts. Payment follows receipt, acceptance, and proper invoicing of goods. Prime contractors must submit Schedule 1 identifying all subcontractors and subconsultants with SBE designations and assigned dollar amounts or work percentages; Schedules 2 and 3 document subcontracting details with each payment request.
