Substation Relay and Control Cabinets

The Peabody Municipal Light Plant (PMLP) is seeking procurement of specialized electrical infrastructure components for the Bartholomew Street Substation in Peabody, Massachusetts, located within Essex County. The procurement specifically requires twelve (12) Simplex Relay and Control Cabinets, one (1) Annunciator Cabinet, and one (1) Field SCADA Cabinet, complete with detailed relay and control equipment. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation including shop drawings, manufacturing schedules, and technical specifications that comply with ANSI, ICEA, and NEC standards. The bid submission deadline is November 6, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with bids to be publicly opened and read at that time. All submitted pricing must remain firm for 60 days following the bid opening, and PMLP reserves the right to reject any or all submissions. Required components include specific relays, switches, terminal blocks, and indicating lights, with precise dimensional and construction standards that must be meticulously followed.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors who can demonstrate technical capability, tax compliance, and ability to meet stringent equipment specifications. Bidders must complete a non-collusion certificate and provide professional references as part of their submission. As a community-owned, not-for-profit municipal light plant, PMLP has established this procurement with an expected delivery timeline of 20 weeks after contract award. The project benefits from a sales tax exemption under Massachusetts regulations. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the complexity of the electrical infrastructure components suggests a significant capital investment. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the available procurement documents, indicating a competitive bidding process open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical requirements.
