This is a Procurement Services Addendum issued by Texas Southern University extending the solicitation deadline for Request for Proposal (RFP) #717-26-717 for Campus Electrical Services. The addendum modifies the original RFP submission deadline to Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time, representing an extension from the initially scheduled January 22, 2026 deadline. The RFP seeks qualified electrical contractors to provide comprehensive electrical services across TSU's 150-acre campus and off-site properties, with services including repairs to the Main 15kV switchgear in the Central Plant Vault, battery bank replacement, electrical system testing and verification, and coordination studies. The contract is structured as a base two-year agreement with potential renewal options for up to three additional one-year terms, not to exceed five consecutive years total. Contractors must submit two separate fee proposals—one for the specific 15kV switchgear repairs and another for ongoing campus electrical services. Personnel qualifications require a Master Electrician with a minimum of four years' experience and crew members with 8,000 or more hours of experience.

Evaluation of proposals will be based on five weighted criteria: Background/Overview of the Firm (20%), Scope of Services (15%), Safety Record (15%), Performance on Past Projects (10%), and Fee Structure (40%). Insurance requirements mandate workers' compensation and commercial general liability coverage with minimum limits of $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate. Contractors must comply with OSHA regulations, TSU safety guidelines, and professional electrical standards, with a mandatory two-hour emergency response time requirement. No specific budget range is disclosed, though the comprehensive nature and infrastructure scope suggest significant potential contract value. Proposals remain valid for 90 days from the submission deadline, and TSU reserves the right to award to multiple vendors, reject all proposals, or conduct negotiations without issuing a Best and Final Proposal request. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and including it with their proposal response.
