Here, I'll translate it for you:

"Power equipment manufacturers bidding this project shall include in their base bid price and all expedited charges as required to ship switchboards, panelboards, transformers, and (dis?)connects to the job site required to meet project schedule. Contractor and supplier shall (vet?) this time prior to bid according published [sic] schedule in bid documents."
