Public Notice – Sole-Source Ness Campbell Crane

The Northwest Cascade Power & Utilities District (NWCPUD) needs a large crane service to lift and transport eleven heavy power transformers (15,000–21,105 lb each) and associated 15 kV switches from a secured data‑center demolition site to the district’s annex. Ness Campbell is the only crane contractor authorized on‑site and already has the required crane, making a sole‑source award justified. The work must be completed by May 15 2026 and is estimated to take no more than three days, with a total contract value of $73,596.84. • Scope: crane lift, loading, and truck transport of 11 transformers and switches. • Timeline: work to be finished by May 15 2026; estimated duration ≤ 3 days. • Budget: $73,596.84 (falls in the $25‑$250 k procurement tier, requiring purchasing review, 7‑day public notice, and legal sign‑off). • Vendor: Ness Campbell (sole‑source due to on‑site presence and exclusive authorization). • Procurement: sole‑source justification filed April 29‑30 2026; next steps are purchasing submission, public notice, and Chief Legal Officer approval before contract execution.
