About this file
This is Amendment 004 to Solicitation 1240LS26Q0028, issued by the Products and Services Team - C5 located in Salt Lake City, Utah, with an effective date of May 13, 2026. The amendment was dated April 30, 2026, and addresses a single question regarding the inclusion of a Certified Electrician in the labor categories and key personnel section of the Statement of Work.
The contracting officer's response clarifies that a Certified Electrician is required because the scope of electrical work—specifically installing new circuit breakers and running conduit/wire from the main service panel to HVAC equipment—typically requires a licensed electrician under local building codes and regulations. While HVAC technicians are trained for low-voltage control wiring and high-voltage connections between disconnect boxes and equipment, electrical panel work poses fire and safety hazards that necessitate specialized electrical trade expertise. The response notes that although some HVAC professionals may possess dual certifications, this cannot be assumed. All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the solicitation deadline by completing items 8 and 15, acknowledging receipt on each copy of the offer submitted, or by separate letter or electronic communication referencing the solicitation and amendment numbers.

Q & A
Q: Why is a certified electrician included in the labor categories and key personnel, as an HVAC technician can typically handle the connection from the panel to the unit?
A: It depends on the qualifications of staff and the amount of electrical work proposed, in order for the condenser to work properly.
• Regulations & Licensing: Local codes often define the boundary. Installing a new circuit breaker and running conduit/wire from the main service panel usually requires a licensed electrician.
• HVAC Scope: HVAC technicians are trained for low-voltage control wiring and connecting high-voltage (e.g., 240V) between the disconnect box and the equipment.
• Dual Certification: Some HVAC professionals or companies possess dual, specialized licenses, making them capable of handling both aspects, but this is not guaranteed.
• Safety Risks: Incorrectly wiring from the panel poses fire and safety hazards, making it crucial to have electrical panel work handled by professionals specializing in that trade.
