Sale of Used Electric Distribution Equipment

The City of Mesa is entering a three‑year, firm‑fixed‑price contract to sell its used electric distribution equipment (transformers, oil switches, and capacitors) to a private recycler. The contractor must pick up equipment within 15 calendar days of notification, provide DOT‑compliant transportation, and assume all environmental permitting and liability. Pricing is submitted on a per‑kVA or per‑unit basis, with an optional escalation tied to the LME copper price. The award went to Environmental Management Utility Services, LLC (Emerald Transformer). Key points include: • Scope: Sale and removal of non‑PCB, mineral‑oil‑filled transformers, oil switches, and capacitors owned by the City. • Performance: Twice‑monthly pickups, 15‑day response window, full transportation responsibility, and compliance with all state/federal environmental regulations. • Financial: Unit‑price bidding (e.g., $/kVA) with potential copper‑price escalation; City receives payment from the contractor after each load. • Term: 23 Sep 2025 – 22 Sep 2028, with up to two one‑year renewal options.
