Description

1. This RFP is open to all interested vendors.
2. Calgary Transit is soliciting responses from interested suppliers to provide critical DC components of the traction power system at one (1) or more NW Light Rail Transit (LRT) substations.
The NW LRT DC Switchgear Replacement Project will update critical DC components of the traction power substation, including the DC Switchgear, Rail Ground Switch, and Negative Disconnect Switch. The traction power transformer and rectifier were upgraded in 2012 so this project will bring the remaining traction power specific equipment up to date. The upgraded DC switchgear will include four feeder breaker cells, one cathode breaker cell, and one negative disconnect switch cell, as well as all required protection and control relays and associated equipment. A stand-alone Rail Ground Switch will also be upgraded.
The equipment supplier is also required to adhere to performance standards, to which both penalties and incentives are applied by The City.
3. This procurement process is not intended to create, and, will not create, a formal, legally binding bidding process. It will instead be governed by the law applicable to direct commercial negotiations.
4. The Agreement will be for an initial Term of one (1) year. The Agreement(s) may be renewed, two (2) times for one (1) year each time.
