Goodyear, AZ — Bunney’s Inc., a leading Industrial, Commercial, and Maintenance Contractor, is thrilled to announce that the company has been awarded the prestigious APS Supplier of the Year – Value Add award for 2023. The award recognizes Bunney’s exemplary contributions as a supplier to Arizona Public Service (APS), spanning over three decades.

The APS Supplier of the Year – Value Add award stands as a testament to Bunney’s unwavering dedication to excellence and safety. Chosen from a pool of over 3,000 contractors, where only seven elite companies were honored, this accolade underlines Bunney’s exceptional performance and invaluable support in the power generation industry. The award further reflects Bunney’s steadfast commitment to setting the highest standards in their field, exemplified by their crucial work in the meticulous refurbishment and maintenance of the Marley class 700 series cooling towers at the Palo Verde Generating Station. 

Bunney’s, a certified woman-owned organization founded in 1990, has evolved from a General Contractor to a multi-disciplinary powerhouse specializing in power generation. The company has consistently demonstrated its commitment to safety, honesty, accountability, respect, and pride in craftsmanship, as reflected in its Core Values – Safety, Honesty, Accountability, Respect, and Pride in Craftsmanship (S.H.A.R.P.).

This long-standing partnership has facilitated exponential growth in Bunney’s organization, and the company is deeply grateful for the numerous opportunities APS has afforded them.

Bunney’s CEO expressed, “We are honored to receive the APS Supplier of the Year Award Value Add for 2023. This award is a recognition of our dedication to providing top-tier services, maintaining the highest safety standards, and delivering exceptional results for our esteemed client, APS.
