2026-2028_Storm_Rates_Dist-Trans_Award_Letter.pdf

This is an award letter from Halifax Electric Membership Corporation (HEMC), a utility cooperative in Enfield, North Carolina, announcing the results of Bid 2025-01 for Specifications for 2026-2028 Distribution and Transmission Rates for Storm Relief. HEMC issued a Request for Proposal to identify vendors capable of providing additional distribution and transmission crews for storm response and recovery operations during 2026 through 2028. The work will address damage resulting from hurricanes, ice storms, and tornados, with start dates and project durations to be determined on an as-needed basis by HEMC. The contract was awarded on December 31, 2025, to five vendors: C-Phase Services, LLC; Lee Electrical Construction, LLC; Osmose Pike Electric, LLC; River City Construction, Inc.; and TRC Engineers. Contracts will be distributed electronically to the awarded vendors.

No specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding amounts are disclosed in this award letter. The contract structure allows HEMC flexibility to engage the awarded vendors as storm events occur during the three-year period, with work scope and duration determined by the utility's operational needs. This approach enables HEMC to maintain pre-qualified crews available for rapid deployment without committing to fixed schedules or guaranteed minimum volumes.
