AI overview

The Marblehead Municipal Light Department (MMLD), the awarding authority, invites sealed bids from qualified vendors for spacer cable and partial pole replacement on its 4kV distribution system in Marblehead, Massachusetts. MMLD serves approximately 10,300 electric customers through a 4kV distribution network fed by four substations, which receive 23kV sub-transmission from Salem, MA. The project involves the replacement of existing spacer cable with new conductor and the partial replacement of deteriorated utility poles, including all necessary hardware, insulators, and associated work. This is a cost-effective method to extend pole life and improve system reliability without full pole replacement.

Key milestones include a pre-proposal conference scheduled for August 11, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET, where vendors can ask questions and receive clarifications. The final deadline for proposal submission is August 19, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET. The RFP was published on July 28, 2026. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov procurement portal. The RFP document includes detailed technical specifications, pricing schedules, a vendor questionnaire, and a wage schedule that must be adhered to for prevailing wage compliance.

Evaluation will be conducted in phases, with criteria including the proposed pricing, vendor qualifications, experience with similar projects, and compliance with all requirements. The contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder whose proposal is most advantageous to MMLD. The awarded vendor will be responsible for providing all labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to complete the spacer cable and partial pole replacement work. All work must be performed in accordance with MMLD's standards and applicable safety regulations. For full details, vendors are encouraged to download the complete RFP package from the link provided, including the general line construction services specifications.
