WCP Utility Asset Inventory Support Project

Western Carolina Power (WCP), a university-owned electric utility operated by Western Carolina University (WCU), is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to assist in developing an operational utility asset inventory system for internal utility operations and asset management.
The purpose of this project is to improve WCP’s operational awareness, outage response capabilities, maintenance planning, infrastructure management, and long-term utility planning by developing a practical, maintainable utility asset inventory environment.
The project is intended solely for internal utility operational and management purposes.
WCP currently maintains legacy CAD drawings and other historical utility records that will serve as operational reference information during the development of the utility asset inventory system. Existing records should be considered operational reference materials and non-authoritative operational representations of existing infrastructure conditions or locations.
WCU/WCP makes no representation or warranty regarding the completeness, accuracy, or current condition of existing records, drawings, maps, operational data, or other information provided during the course of this project.
The selected vendor will work collaboratively with WCP personnel to develop a practical utility asset inventory environment suitable for internal utility operational and maintenance activities.
The intent of this solicitation is to award an Agency Specific Contract. The overall goal of this project is to create a practical, maintainable, and operationally useful utility asset inventory system that improves WCP’s ability to safely, reliably, and efficiently manage and operate its electric distribution system.
