SI CT2 & CT3 GSU Transformer Bushing Replacement

Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) for the replacement of Generator Step-Up (GSU) transformer bushings at Units CT2 and CT3 of the Seminole Generating Station (SI). This project involves the procurement and installation of new high-voltage bushings on two large power transformers that step up generator output to transmission voltage. The work supports reliability and safety at a major municipal power generation facility. Vendors must demonstrate experience with large power transformer bushing replacement, including handling of oil-filled equipment, dielectric testing, and disposal of old bushings in compliance with environmental regulations.

Key dates are not fully specified in the available public listing. The solicitation was posted in 2026, and questions-and-answers documents were provided with a Revision 1 dated September 2026. The final proposal submission deadline and pre-bid conference dates are expected to be detailed in the full RFP document (SI CT GSU Transformer Bushing Replacement RFP FINAL.pdf). Interested parties should monitor the FMPA bid opportunities portal and ensure they are registered to receive updates and addenda.

Prospective respondents must have qualified personnel and equipment to perform transformer bushing replacements safely, including oil sampling, bushing removal and installation, and post-installation testing. The scope likely covers all labor, materials, tooling, and disposal services. Insurance and safety plan requirements will be defined in the contract documents. FMPA may require a site visit and a pre-bid meeting, which will be announced via the portal.

The successful proposer will be expected to complete the work within a defined schedule that minimizes generation unit outage time. Evaluation factors will likely include technical approach, relevant experience, pricing, safety record, and schedule feasibility. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible offeror providing the best value to FMPA and its member cities.
