Attn: Karen E. Smith - Assistant Purchasing Manager
Ref: City of Denton RFP 5629 - SUPPLY OF ELECTRIC SUBSTATION MEDIUM
VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR BUILDINGS
Escalation Provision for Powell Proposal No. 209830
Dear Ms. Smith:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit an alternate pricing adjustment clause for your
consideration.
As price adjustment clauses are a very common component of many of our pricing agreements
with several government customers; we have historically applied the following price adjustment
clause which was formulated with the end objective of being fair and equitable to both parties.
The base selling price for the scope of Powell Electrical Systems manufactured equipment is set
at $813,042.00 for the defined Bills of Material for the Power Control Room and Medium
Voltage Arc Resistant Switchgear in our proposal No. 209830 as reflected in the Pricing Sheet
submitted with the proposal. This pricing shall remain in effect for 12 months from the date of
receipt of the contract; consistent with Item 6 of the RFQ which stipulates the intention of City
of Denton is to award a contract for a one (1) year period.
Should City of Denton choose to exercise the options to renew the contract for an additional two
(2) one-year periods per the RFP; the base selling price shall be adjusted in accordance with the
percent changes of the special index which is described below. The special index shall be derived
from the following index series:
1) The Employment Cost Index for total compensation, durable goods manufacturing,
not seasonally adjusted, as it appears in the periodical Monthly Labor Review as
published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics; this series shall
be referred to as the labor index.

Please note that the labor index outlined above is provided for the purpose of providing a
comprehensive special composite index as further detailed. The labor index is currently
set at an index base value of 100 and will not be adjusted during the initial contract
duration of 12 months
Starting with the first of the additional two (2) one-year periods, Powell proposes to
adjust labor index one time per year to reflect the actual Employment Cost Index at time
of renewal.
2) The Producer Price Indexes, listed below by complete title and identifying code, not
seasonally adjusted, as it appears in the PPI Detailed Report as published by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics; these indexes shall be referred to as the
materials index.
Hot rolled sheet and strip, incl. tin mill, commodity code 1017-0301
Hot rolled bars, plates, and structural shapes, commodity code 1017-0401
Aluminum sheet, commodity code 1025-0105
Copper and copper-base alloy rod, bar and shapes, commodity code 1025-0238
Copper and copper-base alloy pipe and tube, cominodity code 1025-0239
Nickel and nickel-base alloy mill shapes, commodity code 1025-0466
Control & signal wire and cable, commodiry code 1026-0304
Power wire and cable, commodity code 1026-0332
The selling price shall be adjusted at the date of the contract renewal based upon the percent
increases in the special index specified below. All calculations for the special index shall be
based upon the latest versions of the Producer Price Index and Employment Cost Index.
The special index shall be derived in the following manner:
The values for the current period of each of the two BLS index series specified in (A)
above shall be rebased to the reference base period September 2014; this shall be done by
dividing the current value of each index by its value for the reference base period, and
then multiplying the result by 100.

The rebased labor index shall be assigned a relative weight of fifty nine (59) percent; the
rebased materials index shall be assigned a relative weight of forty one (41) percent.
Multiply the rebased current valve for each of the two indexes by its relative weight.
The sum of these two fgures shall be the valve of the special index for the current time
period.
Multiply the current valve of the special index by the original base price, and then divide
by 100; this final figure shall by the adjusted price for the current time period.

With regards to escalation of major buyout products such as Low Voltage Motor Control,
Uninterruptible Power Supplies, Batteries, HVAC Systems, or any other major item which, can
be classified as an engineered to order product, and is not manufactured by Powell the price will
be adjusted as follows.
• Powell will present pertinent information regarding firm pricing duration along with
other supplier specifc cost adjustment provisions. These provisions along with a
reasonable markup will be the basis, for cost escalation for major buyout products. Prior
to order acceptance Powell Electrical Systems will provide a detailed listing of all
products that will be subject to vendor specifc escalation provisions.
• Major buyout components (Non Commodity Items) such as protective relays, meters,
low voltage circuit breakers and associated cell appurtenances are acquired by Powell
under purchasing agreements. These agreements are amended, extended or cancelled at
varying times; therefore, Powell will not request a cost adjustment for these items unless
we are required to accept a price increase from our supplier. In the event that a cost
adjustment becomes mandatory Powell will provide a letter from the supplier indicating
the percent increase required for the items. These provisions along with applicable
margin will be the basis for cost escalation for major buyout components.
Thank you for your consideration of our alternate Price Adjustment Clause. Should you have
any questions or require additional information please let us know.
Best regards,

or delay in contract performance due to any of the foregoing causes, then the time for completion of the services will

RFP 5629
shall be assigned and no obligation shall be delegated by the Supplier without the prior written consent of the City.
Any attempted assigronent or delegation by the Supplier shall be void unless made in conformity with this
paragraph. The Contract is not intended to confer rights or benefits on any person, firm or entity not a party hereto; it
being the intention of the parties that there are no third party beneficiaries to the Contract.
46. WAIVER: No claim or right arising out of a breach of the Contract can be discharged in whole or in part by a
waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless the waiver or renunciation is supported by consideration and is in
writing signed by the aggrieved party. No waiver by either the Supplier or the City of any one or more events of
default by the other party shall operate as, or be construed to be, a permanent waiver of any rights or obligations
under the Contract, or an express or implied acceptance of any other existing or future default or defaults, whether of
a similar or different character.
47. MODIFICATIONS: The Contract can be modified or amended only by a writing signed by both parties. No
pre-printed or similar terms on any the Supplier invoice, order or other document shall have any force or effect to
change the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Contract.
48. INTERPRETATION: The Contract is intended by the parties as a final, complete and exclusive statement of
the terms of their agreement. No course of prior dealing between the parties or course of performance or usage of the
trade shall be relevant to supplement or explain any term used in the Contract. Although the Contract may have been
substantially drafted by one party, it is the intent of the parties that all provisions be construed in a manner to be fair
to both parties, reading no provisions more strictly against one party or the other. Whenever a term defined by the
Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted by the State of Texas, is used in the Contract, the UCC definition shall
control, unless otherwise defined in the Contract.
49. DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
A. If a dispute arises out of or relates to the Contract, or the breach thereof, the parties agree to negotiate prior to
prosecuting a suit for damages. However, this section does not prohibit the filing of a lawsuit to toll the running of a
statute of limitations or to seek injunctive relief. Either party may make a written request for a meeting between
representatives of each party within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the request or such later period as
agreed by the parties. Each party shall include, at a minimum, one (1) senior level individual with decision-making
authority regarding the dispute. The purpose of this and any subsequent meeting is to attempt in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If, within thirty (30) calendar days after such meeting, the parties have not
succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, they will proceed directly to mediation as described below.
Negotiation may be waived by a written agreement signed by both parties, in which event the parties may proceed
directly to mediation as described below.
B. If the efforts to resolve the dispute through negotiation fail, or the parties waive the negotiation process, the
parties may select, within thirty (30) calendar days, a mediator trained in mediation skills to assist with resolution of
the dispute. Should they choose this option; the City and the Supplier agree to act in good faith in the selection of the
mediator and to give consideration to qualified individuals nominated to act as mediator. Nothing in the Contract
prevents the parties from relying on the skills of a person who is trained in the subject matter of the dispute or a
contract interpretation expert. If the parties fail to agree on a mediator within thirty (30) calendar days of initiation
of the mediation process, the mediator shall be selected by the Denton County Alternative Dispute Resolution
Program (DCAP). The parties agree to participate in mediation in good faith for up to thirty (30) calendar days from
the date of the first mediation session. The City and the Supplier will share the mediator's fees equally and the
parties will bear their own costs of participation such as fees for any consultants or attorneys they may utilize to
represent them or otherwise assist them in the mediation.
50. JURISDICTION AND VENUE: The Contract is made under and shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Texas, including, when applicable, the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Texas, V.T.C.A., Bus. & Comm.
Code, Chapter 1, excluding any rule or principle that would refer to and apply the substantive law of another state or
jurisdiction. All issues arising from this Contract shall be resolved in the courts of Denton County, Texas and the
parties agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing, however, shall not be
construed or interpreted to limit or restrict the right or ability of the City to seek and secure injunctive relief from
any competent authority as contemplated herein.
51. INVALIDITY: The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision of the Contract shall in no way
affect the validity or enforceability of any other portion or provision of the Contract. Any void provision shall be
RFP 5629
deemed severed from the Contract and the balance of the Contract shall be construed and enforced as if the Contract
did not contain the particular portion or provision held to be void. The parties further agree to reform the Contract to
replace any stricken provision with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the intent of the stricken
provision. The provisions of this section shall not prevent this entire Contract from being void should a provision
which is the essence of the Contract be determined to be void.

Best And Final Offer (BAFO) for Powell Proposal No. 209830
Dear Ms. Smith:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit a Best And Final Offer for the above referenced RFP.
Upon receipt of your communication, we initiated an extensive review of all the estimated
materials and labor comprising our quoted Power Control Room and Arc Resistant Switchgear in
an effort to exhaust all possibilities of a price reduction. As we knew this would be a highly
competitive opportunity coupled with our earnest desire to be your selected supplier for this
contract, our initial offer represented our most competitive and aggressive pricing and thus it is
not feasible to reduce the lump sum price of the Power Control Room / Switchgear quoted in
Item No. 1 of the Pricing Sheet.
Nonetheless, in our continued interest to earn your business and be able to provide the City of
Denton with your electrical equipment needs; we would like to extend a discount of 50% on the
Thermal Monitoring System; Item 10 of the Pricing Sheet for any buildings that are purchased in
the 12 months of the validity of the contract. As a result, the BriteSpot Thermal Monitoring
System as outlined in the Bill of Material on page 20 of our proposal will be provided at
$21,823.00 in lieu of the quoted $43,646.00. Consequently, if the two (2) buildings referenced
in Section 1 of the "RFP 5629 Exhibit 3 Technical Specification" are procured during the first
year, the savings realized will be $43,646.00; with an additional $21,823.00 in savings on each
and every additional building that may also be purchased during this 12 month period.

Moreover, should the City of Denton choose to exercise the options to extend the agreement for
two additional one year periods as defned on Section 6 of the "Request for Proposals", we will
continue to offer the option for BriteSpot Thermal Monitoring System at a 25% discount off the
$43,646.00 price. This will result in a discounted price of $32,735.00 after the corresponding
discount of $10,911.00. If City of Denton projects may require as many as 10 - 16 additional
buildings during years 2— 3 as mentioned in Section 1 of "RFP 5629 Exhibit 3 Technical
Specification"; then the additional discount of $10,911.00 per BriteSpot System could result in
an additional cost savings from $109,110.00 to $174,576.00.
Thank you again for the opportunity to participate in this offer. Should you have any questions
or require additional information please let us know.

General Provisions
1. Section 18 — Per Powell corporate policy; exception is taken to Liquidated Damages at this
time.
Standard Purchase Terms and Conditions
1. Section 7— Right of inspection and rejection is accepted contingent upon reasonable written
notice.
2. Section 31 — We request that a waiver of consequential damages and an Limit of Liablity be
added such as the following; "Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Contractor shall
not be liable for consequential, indirect, or incidental damages arising hereunder and, further,
under no circumstances shall Contractor's total liability hereunder exceed the price of the goods
or services which give rise to the claim."
RFP #5629, EXHIBIT 3, TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION For Purchase of Medium
Voltage Switchgear Buildin�s
1. Section I— Requires for the supplier to provide "foundation reactions". As a result, our
proposal includes the cost of contracting a registered Professional Engineer with the State of
Texas to perform detailed structural calculations on the Power Control Rooms.
2. Section 1, Item C— Calls for optional pricing to insulate 15kV bus for 25kV class if practical.
Due to the difference in dimensions between our 15kV and 25kV class switchgear and 25kV
only being available in One-High configuration, a price adder is not practical and therefore has
not been included in Exhibit 1— Pricing Sheet.

3. Section II — Calls for the arc resistant rear access doors to include upper and lower ventilation
openings. Please note that Powell's Arc Resistant rear access doors do not include ventilation
openings as this would compromise the arc resistant integrity. Proper cooling will be
accomplished by adequately sizing the HVAC system for each PCR.
4. Section II — Our quoted price for the switchgear includes the spare 2000 amp circuit breaker
requested in this section.
5. Section II, Item A- The specifcation indicates that the building width is to be 14 feet
wide. Our quoted Power Control Room is 15 feet wide due to our Two-High PowlVac-AR
Switchgear being 105" deep (8' 9") and the recommended aisle clearance from 15kV Switchgear
to wall per NEC Table 110-34 of 6 feet.
6. Section II, Item C.6 — Calls for onboard racking option for each cubicle or other system
available. The Commercial Summary of this proposal offers both options for On-Board
Racking as well as a Remote Racking Mechanism (please refer to literature on each attached to
this proposal). The "Exhibit 1— Pricing Sheet" only lists one line item under `Remote circuit
breaker racking capability'; therefore the price of the Remote Racking Mechanism has been
offered in that document.
7. Section IV, T.7 — This section of the Specification calls for the freight to be Pre-Pay & Add
The top of "Exhibit 1— Pricing Sheet" indicates pricing is to include all costs for FOB Delivery.
Our quoted freight terms offered in our Terms & Delivery Section of this proposal are Pre-Pay &
Add consistent with this section of this Section IV, T.7 of the Technical Specification.
8. Section VII, Item C.2 — Calls for the Arc Resistant Rear Access Doors to have ventilation
louvers. Please note that louvers are not available on these doors as they would compromise the
arc resistant construction integrity.
9. Section VII, Item E.1, E.2, E.3 — Our preliminary HVAC calculations indicate that the heat
losses of the internal equipment coupled with the interior dimensions of the Power Control Room
will result in a cooling capacity requirement of 3.9 tons. Therefore, we have quoted (2) 5-Ton
HVAC Units to comply with the requirement that each unit is full capacity and that the
temperature will be maintained even if one AC unit is lost. If other PCR confgurations other
than the Typical Building will consist of additional sections of switchgear and the corresponding
increase in PCR dimensions, it may be required to increase to (2) 6-Ton Units to comply with the
100% redundancy requirement.
10. Section VIII, Item B.5 — indicates that "...panels that comprise the sides, rear, and top sheets
shall not be externally bolted. There shall be no exposed bolts." Please note that Powell's Arc
Resistant Switchgear construction requires external bolts.

11. Section VIII, Item B.12 — indicates that there shall be no joints in the switchgear ground
bus. Please note that as PowlVac-AR Switchgear is designed so that vertical sections can be
removed from the line-up, the ground bus has joints at each point where it leaves one vertical
section and enters the one adjacent to it.
12. Section VIII, Item B. 15 — In lieu of just a metal switchgear header to close the gap from the
top of the switchgear to the building's ceiling, the quoted PowlVac-AR Switchgear considers a
top mounted plenum and vent ducts that will contain all toxic arc by-products and direct them to
the walls of the PCR via Arc Ducts and to the outside of the PCR through Arc Vents on the wall
which are also included in the quoted scope of supply.
13. Section VIII, Item C.4 — Calls for the finish & coating system to consist of "one or more
coats of primer and two or more finish coats of hi-gloss urethane". Please note that Powell's
paint system consists of a 7 stage metal preparation system and a single application of our
polyester powder coat paint process.
14. Section VIII, Item D.1 — Calls for a Lexan shutter system. Please note that the safety
shutters used in PowlVac Switchgear are made of aluminum.
15. Section VIII, Item D.1 — Exception is taken to liquid dipped epoxy insulation. Powell's bus
insulation system provides flame retardant epoxy insulation. However, in lieu of liquid dipped
epoxy it is a fluidized bed epoxy process utilizing an epoxy powder catalyzed by heat.
16. Section VIII, Item D.2 — Calls for the Main Power Bus Thermal Monitoring to communicate
over a network via DNP3 protocol. As a result, our scope for the Thermal Monitoring Option
includes a ProSoft 5201-MNET-DNPSNET Modbus-to-DNP 3.0 protocol converter to convert
the signals from all the monitoring points to the requested DNP3.
17. Section VIII, Item J— Comments from our selected 125VDC System Supplier:
1. We concur that 92 cells is appropriate. We use NiCd Pocket Plate cells. Float is
1.4vDC per cell or 128.8vDC string voltage. Equalize is 1.SvDC per cell or 140vDC
string voltage. The brochure indicates 1.SSvDC per cell equalize which is 142.6vDC
string. We have tested these batteries extensively and can state that 1.SvDC is a good
equalize value. We are trying to stay within the normal limits of a switchgear application
which is a maximum of 140vDC to the bus. At and ECV of 1.1vDC per cell our cutoff
voltage is 101.2vDC string voltage.
2. The stated load solves to a 95Ah battery (CS for NiCd rating) including the sizing
adjustments of design margin and aging factor, however we offer the 118Ah battery per
specifications as the minimum size acceptable.
3. We offer HBL batteries with US offices and warehouse located in Rocky Hill, CN.
Manufacturing is in Hyperbad, India, however stock is inventoried at the Rocky Hill
Location.

4. Rack definition is step only. Multiple tiers would allow for greater space efficiency,
but is not used here. No seismic rating or location is evident in the specs and we offer
standard rated racks. Seismic rated racks can be provided at additional cost if required.
18. Section X, Item B.2, B.3, and B.4 — Call for the terminal blocks to be Buchanan type. We
respectfully request to use GE CR151 terminal blocks which are significantly smaller than
Buchanan and thus allow for better utilization of the instrument compartment space.
19. Section X, Item C.1 — The CT table calls for multiple sets of C400 CTs to be installed on the
Load and Source Sides of the Main Circuit Breaker, Load and Source Sides of the Tie Circuit
Breaker, and Load Side of the Feeder Circuit Breakers. Please note due to space limitations we
can only accommodate sets of C200 CTs. C400 class CTs require a thicker CT (ITI model 785)
and thus only (1) set can be installed on the breaker disconnect spouts; as will be the case with
the Source Side of the Feeder Breakers. C200 class CTs require CTs smaller in thickness (ITI
Model 780) which allows (2) sets to be installed on each side of the circuit breaker disconnect
spouts.
20. Section IX, Item C.1 — The CT table calls for (3) sets of C200 SR3000:SA CTs to be
installed on the Source Side of the Main Circuit Breaker. As per the above, (2) sets of C200 CTs
can be installed on the source side circuit breaker disconnect spouts, resulting in the 3rd set of
these window-type C200 ITI Model 780 CTs being installed in the rear compartment around the
bus. This is a very common practice, however, for this 3`d set only; their installation in the rear
bus compartment would not comply with Item C. l.a which states "Current transformers shall be
installed so that they can be easily maintained or replaced from the front of the switchgear
without exposing the power bus or entering the high voltage cable termination
compartments". Again, the exception only applies to the 3`d set of Source Side Main Breaker
CTs. The rest of the CTs in the switchgear will be in compliance with C.l.a.
21. Section X, Item C.ld — Calls for CT shorting blocks to be Buchanan type. We respectfully
request to use GE/ITI IKU CT shorting blocks.
22. Section X, Item C.2.d — Calls for the Potential Transformer to include insulating
shutters. Powell's design does not include insulating shutters for the PT rollouts. Nonetheless,
once the PT draw-out assembly is racked out, the fuses can be safely accessed while the rear of
the roll-out compartment serves as a barrier between the operator and the main bus connection
points.
23. Section X, Item F.S. — Calls for CT and PT Test Switches to be States Type FMS and relay
test switches to be MTCS C3-205-K. Subject to owner approval as allowed for the bottom of
Section F, we would like to submit for consideration the use of ABB Flexitest FT-1 Test
Switches, Style No. 129A5 which are Powell's standard and will allow a more econoinical
proposal.
