**As of November 7, 2019, this project has not yet been awarded. It is expected to be awarded in January 2020. The Project is located at 500 Atlantic Avenue, Alameda, California, 94501 and is described as follows: Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) is the City of Alameda's not-for-profit electric municipal utility, serving residents and businesses for over 130 years. Its reliable electric supply system covers 23 square miles and provides power to more than 34,000 customers. AMP has two main substations namely Cartwright and Jenney Substations (Jenney is located at 2179 Clement Street, Alameda, California, 94501 while Cartwright is located at 500 Atlantic Avenue, Alameda, California, 94501). AMP's 115-kV transmission system is fed from two separate radially connected lines coming from Pacific Gas Electric's (PG&E) Substations C and J, both located in Oakland, California. The existing Brown Boveri (now known as ABB) 121PA40-16B Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) insulated high voltage dead tank circuit breakers (CBs) CB302, CB312 and CB322 at Cartwright Substation serve as the incoming main feeds and tie breaker, respectively to the main transformers at Cartwright Substation. These SF6 CBs have been in service for over 35 years and have exceeded its service life. This project involves replacing three (3) SF6 CB with three (3) new Siemens Motor Spring Operating Mechanism SF6 CBs. CB tanks, motor operator/terminal cabinets, new CB structural steel support lattice pieces, and their associated parts have already been delivered and are currently stored in Jenney Substation yard.
