New Yaskawa Variable Frequency Drives and Kits – As Needed.

The City of Spokane issued RFQ 5760‑22 to acquire new Yaskawa variable‑frequency drives (VFDs) and kits on an as‑needed basis for its Water & Wastewater Engineering Facility. The solicitation seeks six 350 HP drives (part CIMR‑PU4A0414AAA) and one 500 HP drive (part CIMR‑PU4A0675AAA). Three vendors submitted pricing, each offering different unit costs and lead‑times ranging from roughly four to seven months. The contract is for an initial one‑year period with the possibility of up to four one‑year extensions, but the award is still pending City Council approval. Key points include: • Scope limited to supply of Yaskawa VFDs and kits only (no installation or services). • Competitive pricing: lowest total ≈ $127,800 (including tax) and highest total ≈ $323,400. • Lead‑time variations give the City flexibility between cost and delivery speed. • No installation, warranty, or shipping terms are detailed in the excerpt; the city will apply its standard terms and conditions.
