AI overview
Public Utility District No. 1 of Benton County (Benton PUD) has issued Resolution #2741 approving the prequalification of contractors for the remainder of calendar year 2026. This resolution formalizes a roster of contractors authorized to bid on and perform various electric utility infrastructure and services contracts. The contractors are classified by capacity limits (single and aggregate) and work class categories, enabling Benton PUD to competitively solicit bids without re-evaluating contractor qualifications for each project through year-end 2026.
Key dates established by this resolution include the commission approval date of October 13, 2026, with the prequalification effective for the remainder of calendar year 2026. The document was executed via e-signature on October 20, 2026. Contractors must maintain their listed capacity and class qualifications to be eligible for upcoming project solicitations.
The prequalification covers 30 contractors spanning a wide range of work classes including distribution (up to 15kV), transmission (115kV to 230kV), substation construction (de-energized and energized), substation maintenance, lighting, vegetation management, pole and wood product inspection, and storm/emergency response. Capacity limits range from $750,000 to $500 million single-project and up to $4 billion aggregate.
This prequalification approval is an administrative action that streamlines future procurement by establishing a pre-approved contractor pool. Individual project solicitations (RFPs, RFQs, or bids) will be issued separately throughout the year, and only prequalified contractors in the relevant class(es) will be eligible to respond. The resolution is signed by Commission President Jeff Hall and Secretary Mike Massey.
