About this opportunity

Florida Keys Electric Cooperative is requesting quotes on materials for system-wide recloser installation projects scheduled for 2027, with quotes due November 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and questions due October 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The scope consists of 14 units of ABB-Elastimold 27 kV reclosers and 35 units of 1 kVA overhead transformers (120V non-fused mid central).

All materials must conform to FKEC standards as detailed in Exhibits A and B. The recloser specification mandates SEL 0651R22D1GAXAE1112B4XX control units rated for nominal 24.9 kV with maximum design voltage of 27 kV rms, 800A minimum continuous current, 12.5 kA maximum symmetrical interrupting capacity, and ambient operating temperature range from −30°C to +40°C. Equipment must include 40-foot control and potential transformer cables with silicone shed insulators rated for 38 kV minimum, 4-hole NEMA copper-tinned aerial lugs, and low-energy analog voltage sensing at 10,000:1 ratio with 2 percent or better accuracy. Seven Siemens lightning arresters (Model 3EK7 210-4AF4-P12 P31 M83 or equivalent) are required with animal guards. Pole-mounted single-phase equipment must meet specified phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground spacing requirements with animal guards identified in the bid; all drawings require FKEC engineering approval before production.

Delivery is to the FKEC Tavernier, Florida Operations Center. Quotes must include fully delivered, not-to-exceed prices covering all costs including taxes, fees, and freight. Evaluation is weighted as cost of material (50%), manufacturing quality and performance (25%), and material availability (25%). An intent to award is anticipated for November 10, 2026. FKEC reserves the right to inspect materials against specifications and reject any or all quotes. Multiple offerings per line item are acceptable with supporting cut sheets for alternate part numbers.
