The City of Sacramento’s Department of Utilities is seeking engineering services for electrical power-system studies at its facilities over a multiyear period. - Government buyer: City of Sacramento, Department of Utilities (DOU); no specific office is identified. - Services requested: Short-circuit, load-flow, equipment evaluation, coordination, arc-flash hazard analysis and mitigation, and protective-relaying device analysis. - Named OEM/software: SKM Systems Analysis, Inc.; studies must use the latest version of its Power Tools for Windows (PTW) software. - Study approaches: Full studies include field data collection and creation of SKM files; five-year reviews use City-provided data and existing SKM files. Facilities are identified annually, with initial facilities listed for FY2027. - Key requirements and deliverables: Maintain a California-registered electrical engineer with at least five years of SKM study experience. Provide reports, record sets, single-line diagrams, arc-flash labels, recommendations, electronic SKM project files, scenarios, and library backup files. - Local participation: The attachment specifies minimum 5% Local Business Enterprise (LBE) participation; portal metadata reportedly indicates the requirement is waived, so the discrepancy should be clarified.
