AI overview
The City of Georgetown, Texas, is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) to select a qualified consultant to perform a comprehensive pole attachment audit of the City's electric distribution utility poles and to provide cost-of-service rates for pole attachment associated fees. The consultant will be responsible for field auditing approximately 9,014 utility poles (as confirmed in the Q&A), including GPS location of all downguy anchors. The selected vendor must integrate the audit data with the City's ESRI enterprise GIS platform, providing either web-based or file-based applications to support data collection and visualization. The City will coordinate outbound customer notifications in collaboration with the vendor. The cost-of-service rate study component will be completed internally by the City, not by the consultant.
Key dates for this solicitation include: issuance on May 28, 2026; a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting on June 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM CT; a question cut-off date of June 18, 2026, at 5:00 PM CT; and a revised proposal submission deadline of July 1, 2026, at 2:00 PM CT (originally June 30, 2026, per Addendum 1). Proposals must be submitted electronically via the City's E-bid system (https://gtowntx.ionwave.net/Login.aspx). A public opening will be held virtually immediately after the deadline.
The expected project timeline is from August 1, 2026, to August 1, 2027. No budget has been disclosed. The consultant must have substantial and relevant experience in pole attachment audits and compliance with NESC standards. No specific professional certifications are required. The City will provide data integration support for the ESRI platform. The RFP requires the proposer to list any requested deviations from the City's Standard Form of Agreement on an exception form (Tab G).
