PWC procures transmission poles through a competitive bidding process every three years, issuing a new Invitation for Bid (IFB) for each contract cycle. Traditionally, PWC has solicited bids exclusively for galvanized steel transmission poles. However, this year, PWC is expanding its scope to include composite and ductile iron poles as potential options for the transmission pole contract. This IFB is one of three separate transmission pole contracts that PWC will issue during this cycle. Upon receiving bids, PWC will determine whether to award a contract for a single transmission pole type, make multiple awards for a single type, or issue individual or multiple awards for a combination of different transmission pole types. Enclosed please find the Instructions to Bidders, Material Specifications, and Bid Pricing Form. Bids shall be submitted on the forms provided herein, or exact copies thereof, and the bidder shall return one copy of the entire bid packet along with the completed Bid Pricing Form and any other information specified in the bid documents. PWC requires Firms to report efforts to utilize Minority, Women, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (MWDBEs) and Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) for specific projects and requires all Firms to report all such efforts for MWDBEs, HUBs, and Small Local Suppliers regardless of the requirements of a specific project. Bidders shall document any good-faith efforts and utilization in the MWDBE forms provided within Attachment G. In accordance with PWC's MWDBE Program, the goal shall be to award four percent (4%) of the total contract dollars to MBE firms and four percent (4%) to WBE firms.
