Two 1500/2000 KVA 3 Phase Substation Regulators

The Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) is seeking bids for two 1500/2000 KVA 3-phase step voltage regulators to be matched with 12/16/20 MVA 115-12 kV no-load tap transformers, serving Lane County and the City of Eugene, Oregon. The procurement is structured as an Invitation to Bid (ITB), with the original submission deadline of September 22, 2021, extended to October 7, 2021, at 2:00 pm PST through Addendum 1. The technical specifications indicate a preference for ganged configuration with a single control point, a 10 psi tank design, standard manufacturer paint colors, and inclusion of a Beckwith M-0329B backup controller. EWEB reserves the right to waive informalities, cancel the bid, or reject any submissions pursuant to EWEB Rule 3-0640. Bidders must submit sealed bids following the instructions in Section 1 - Instructions to Bidders, with the contract period expected to span from the award date until equipment delivery, preferably by February 2023 or earlier. The evaluation will focus on identifying the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting the technical specifications.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder types were explicitly outlined in the procurement documents. There was no mention of disadvantaged enterprise requirements or preferences. The documents do not provide details about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure integration requirements. Similarly, no specific budget range or award value was disclosed in the available materials. EWEB indicated they may consider single-phase regulators but prefer the ganged configuration, and noted there are no specific loss value requirements for the regulators. The procurement is open to contractors capable of providing the specified 1500/2000 KVA 3-phase substation regulators that can be integrated with EWEB's existing 115-12 kV transformer infrastructure. Potential bidders should carefully review the technical specifications and addenda to ensure full compliance with EWEB's requirements.
