About this file

This file is an email chain reviewing safety specifications for an Invitations for Bid (IFB) for On-Call Electrical Services issued by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in California. The correspondence, dated January 7-12, 2026, documents a safety specification review process for RFP 250083 between Ellis Hoskin (Senior Contract Administrator), Erik Earnest (Construction Safety Specialist Principal), and Christine Herrera (Project Manager). The on-call electrical services contract has a budget of $335,000 for a three-year term. The primary concern raised during the review was whether Level 2 Safety Specifications would remain sufficient given the addition of the OC Streetcar Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF) substation to the scope of work. Erik Earnest initially expressed concerns about traction power substations but subsequently confirmed that these facilities fall under Herzog's existing maintenance contract and therefore do not require upgraded safety specifications.

The email chain confirms that Level 2 Safety Specifications are appropriate for this IFB based on the clarification that traction power substations at the MSF are excluded from OCTA's electrical services contract scope. No pricing modifications, set-asides, or funding source changes were indicated in the correspondence. The review was completed by January 12, 2026, allowing the procurement to move forward with the established safety specification level and scope of work parameters.

Ellis, Couple things here Level two would be accurate for this IFB, I was concerned about the traction power substations. With discussing with Cleve Clevland the traction power substations are under Herzog’s contract to maintain.
