This document is an excerpt from the 2022 California Mechanical Code, Chapter 1, prepared by the County of Sacramento in support of a Request for Proposal for the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center (RCCC) Campus Electrification Plan. The RFP, issued by Sacramento County's Department of General Services, Facility Planning and Management, seeks a qualified consulting team to develop a comprehensive pre-design plan for transitioning the facility's aging HVAC infrastructure from natural gas to electrified alternatives. The project scope includes detailed planning for HVAC systems, domestic hot water equipment, lighting upgrades, and electric vehicle charging station recommendations across multiple campus buildings. Consultants must deliver a 50% draft report, 95% draft report, and final report with cost estimates, site plans, and implementation recommendations within six months of contract issuance. The RFP was released on November 20, 2025, with a proposal response deadline of January 8, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., and a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for December 9, 2025, at 9:00 a.m.

Design work must comply with Chapter 11 of the 2022 California Mechanical Code for I-3 occupancies, which restricts high-probability direct expansion air conditioning systems. The contract will be executed on a lump-sum basis with payments aligned to deliverable milestones. Consultants must provide estimated hours per labor level and hourly rate sheets for potential additional scope work, with travel costs included in the lump-sum compensation. Electrical design must coordinate with SMUD utility services, connecting to a 69kV substation north of campus via a proposed 12kV utility yard. Evaluation criteria will assess team qualifications (25 points), relevant experience (30 points), proposal quality (15 points), cost (20 points), timeline availability (5 points), and reference quality (5 points). All proposing consultants must complete a security background investigation and view the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Compliance Training Video prior to facility entry. The project is funded by Sacramento County and will be coordinated through the Department of General Services and Sacramento County Sheriff Organization.
