UNDERARM SIDE-BREAK SWITCH

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

1.00

PURPOSE

It is the intent of these specifications to obtain, for the City of Redding Electric Utility, Underarm Side-

Break Switches of proven performance, rugged, reliable, and capable of remaining in service for many

years without replacement.

2.00

CONTRACT TERM

The initial contract period shall be from Contract Award Date through February 28, 2027. If mutually

agreed upon, with all price adjustment methods, terms, and conditions remaining the same, this contract

may be extended for four (4) additional one (1) year periods through February 28, 2031.

3.00

PRICE GUARANTEE

All quoted prices for switches and accessories shall remain valid for a period of four months from the date

of contract award. Beyond this period, the unit price of any switch or accessory purchased will be subject

to an adjustment upon issuance of the purchase order. This adjustment will be made in direct correlation

to the change in the latest available preliminary index of the Producer Price Index (PPI) as reported by the

U.S. Department of Labor. The specific series ID for this PPI is “Switchgear and switchboard apparatus

mfg” (PCU335313335313). The base index for this adjustment shall be the December 2025 Index of

369.007(P).

This adjustment may result in either an increase or decrease in the unit price in comparison to the original

bid price. In the event of a contract extension by mutual agreement, any purchase orders issued during the

extension period shall also have the unit prices of switches or accessories adjusted using the same

methodology.

4.00

ORDERING

Orders may be placed at any time within the contract period. Evaluated Quantities are multipliers used

for bid comparison and represent the City’s estimated annual need, though they do not represent a

guaranteed purchase commitment.

The City reserves the right to purchase more or less than the evaluated quantities at the contracted unit

price to meet system requirements.

The City reserves the right to purchase equipment from any available source in an emergency/immediate

need.

5.00

INVOICING

E730.17). Payment may be delayed if invoices do not meet these City requirements.
