Bid_Form_Template_9.17.24.docx

This is a Bid Form Template from the City of Scranton Department of Business Administration for an as-needed requirements contract involving electrical services and equipment. The procurement solicits pricing for various classifications of electrical labor, including Electrician Foremen, Journeypersons, and Apprentices across three distinct work schedules: weekday standard hours (7am-3:30pm), Saturday and outside weekday hours, and Sunday/Federal Holiday hours. The bid form also requests pricing for ancillary services including Service Vans and Bucket Trucks, as well as Line Crew Foreman services. The template provides estimated annual hours for each labor category and equipment type to assist bidders in calculating extended prices, though the City explicitly reserves the right not to guarantee any minimum hours or that estimated quantities will be needed. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for April 2, 2026, with sealed bids due by 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 9, 2026 (with a subsequent deadline noted as 11:30 a.m. on April 16, 2026), to be submitted electronically through the City's e-Procurement Portal. Public bid opening will follow immediately in City Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall.
