AI overview

Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) is seeking qualified contractors to perform a comprehensive wood pole inspection, treatment, and restoration program for approximately 3,700 AMP-owned and joint-use wood poles. The base scope includes visual inspection of all confirmed poles, intrusive testing of eligible poles, external groundline treatment of every serviceable or reinforceable excavated pole intended to remain in service, selective internal preservative or fumigant treatment, condition classification, reporting, and minimum inspection data. Optional work includes an expanded pole asset audit, enhanced O-Calc field survey, contractor-performed O-Calc loading analyses for up to 20 urgent poles, and a later steel-truss restoration phase. The contract will be awarded based on the lowest responsive bid, and actual payment will be based on authorized, completed, documented, and accepted quantities.

AMP operates a 10-year inspection cycle, having completed its previous system-wide cycle in 2017. The estimated pole inventory of 3,700 is not guaranteed due to inaccuracies in existing asset records. Of these, approximately 634 poles less than 10 years old will normally receive only a visual inspection, while the remaining 3,066 poles require intrusive inspection, subject to field verification and AMP direction. The solicitation includes a detailed bid schedule, technical specifications, and prevailing wage requirements. Key deliverables include inspection reports, condition classification data, and treatment documentation.

Key dates for this solicitation are as follows: a pre-proposal conference is scheduled for August 12, 2026, at 20:00 UTC; the deadline for questions is August 19, 2026, at 20:00 UTC; and final proposals are due on September 2, 2026, at 20:00 UTC. The solicitation number is CPS 07-26-03, and the issuing agency is Alameda Municipal Power (AMP), based in Alameda, California. All submissions must be made through the procurement portal, and bidders are required to comply with all terms, conditions, and specifications outlined in the bid documents.

Interested contractors should review the attached technical specifications (Attachment B), the City of Alameda Integrated Pest Management Policy (Attachment C), and the bid schedule (Attachment A). The work is classified under NAICS codes 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction), 541330 (Engineering Services), 541380 (Testing Laboratories), and 561710 (Exterminating and Pest Control Services).
