New 3 Phase Padmount Transformers kVA: 150, 300, 500, 750, 1500, & 2500

This contract awards the purchase and delivery of a range of new 3‑phase pad‑mounted distribution transformers (150 kVA through 2,500 kVA) for the City of Dothan’s electric utility. The transformers will convert primary distribution voltages (7,620‑13,200 V) to customer‑usable voltages (120/208 V or 277/480 V) and are to be installed on the city’s distribution network. The award was split among three vendors that provided the lowest evaluated cost after adjustments for no‑load and load losses. • Scope: Supply and delivery of six transformer sizes (150‑2,500 kVA) with specified voltage ratings and pad‑mount construction. • Awardees: ERMCO (primary low‑cost supplier), Howard Industries (secondary), and Alamo Transformers (secondary). • Procurement: Full open competition with multiple bidders; evaluation based on price plus loss‑adjustment factors; 5 % rule applied to eliminate higher‑cost alternates.
