Electrical Materials, Supplies and Equipment

The City of Pasadena Water and Power Department (PWP) has been a municipally owned and operated utility for over one hundred years and currently serves over 65,000 customers. PWP owns and operates an electric distribution system including associated electric distribution equipment from its receiving substations to the end-use customer. The purpose of this initiative is to establish an agreement to institute a streamlined and reliable program to fulfill PWP, Power Delivery Business Unit’s anticipated supplies and equipment requirements, with a qualified source of supply. This agreement is designed to increase operational efficiency, reduce administrative costs and quickly complete small and/or repetitive purchases by establishing a synergetic partnership with a preferred source of supply by eliminating the need for issuing individual purchase documents. The successful vendor shall provide restocking services; stock high volume items, stock specialty inventory items (to be identified) and conduct regular meetings with PWP warehouse operations personnel to discuss product and/or process improvement strategies. Specialty items are inventory items which are unique to PWP and cannot be sold to other customers of the Vendor.
