Questions and Responses

Question 1. Would we be eligible to prequalify for only the transmission construction scope, or is it required that firms be qualified to perform all of the listed scopes?

Response 1: OUC is seeking a single prime contractor experienced to handle both scopes.

OUC’s prefers a prime respondent that can demonstrate having successfully delivered multiple projects for similar Electric and Water Mains either together as one project, or independently. If an interested respondent is unable to demonstrate having direct past experience as a lead entity in all scope areas, the lead responding entity shall at least demonstrate having direct experience as a lead entity responsible for similar or greater Electrical scopes of a similar nature. In such a case the prime may be considered by providing a subcontractor with all required qualifications of their own independent selection for the Water Main scope. Firms that have the required experience as a Prime contractor for the Electrical scope but lack direct experience with managing Water Main scope may choose to use a subcontractor of their choosing and provide the qualifications for the Water Main subcontractor using the Water Main qualifications tab B-3 of Attachment E Qualifications Fill In Forms. Given the largest proportion of the work is for the Electrical scope the prime responding firm shall demonstrate having direct experience in managing and successfully delivering past projects of similar size and nature as specified in the SOQ documents.

Alternatively, the prime respondent demonstrating the necessary experience for the Electrical scope may utilize an OUC preapproved Water Main Contractor as a subcontractor. In either case the prime respondent shall be responsible for handling all communication, tracking, submittals, etc.…

For convenience OUC is providing a list of firms OUC considers having necessary qualifications for Water Main as a prospective subcontractor for that scope. OUC accepts no responsibility or liability associated with any subcontractor’s performance or otherwise. All responsibility and liability shall remain with the Prime responding firm.

Water Main Contractor’s OUC considers to be prequalified to perform the Water Main Civil Construction Services are as follows in no particular order:

Carr & Collier, Inc., Prime Construction Group, Inc., Sanpik, Inc., Schuller Contractors, Incorporated.

Question 2: The SOQ package includes qualification sections for both Underground Transmission Line construction and Water Distribution Construction Services. Will OUC accept a respondent’s SOQ for only the Water Main Civil Construction Services portion, or must each respondent demonstrate qualifications for both the 230kV underground transmission civil work and the water-main work?

If a respondent is strong in water-main civil construction but does not self-perform 230kV underground transmission civil infrastructure, may the respondent satisfy the transmission qualification section through a named specialty transmission civil subcontractor/partner and include that firm’s references/resumes in Tab B-2?

Response 2: Refer to response 1 above.

Question 3: What is the Budget Estimate for the Project?

Response 3: Total estimate for the project is $25 million

Question 4: Will Overhead and Electrical be part of this project or solicited separately in the future for the project?

Response 4: Overhead and electrical will not be part of the RFP for this segment of the project.

Overhead will be handled through Contractors under existing Master Agreements possibly in conjunction with OUC Crews. The Electrical for UG cable and installation will be bid out once all segments have been installed over the entire project as one complete package.

Question 5: Can you please advise on whether we need to include any of the areas listed in the Statement of Qualifications Checklist. There is nothing checked off which leads me to believe that those areas will not be required though what gives us pause is that Tab 3 is also not checked off which talks about the experience excel, so we want to make sure that only the filled out excel is what is required.

Response 5: All items in the check list are required. That represents the checklist for the form responding. It represents the content and order of assembly for the response by each responding firm. This was explicitly covered in the Pre Response Teams Conference.

Clarification 1: OUC expressed for the portion of the Road Restorations that is to be historical brick that OUC would be providing a list of prequalified companies that the prime proposing firm is to select from as a subcontractor to the qualified prime proposing firm’s that would be submitting a proposal for in response the future pending RFP following this prequalification process. .

Note: There shall be no communication between the respondent, their employees or subcontractors concerning this SOQ to anyone within OUC except the buyer of record. Responses are due by 2:00 p.m.

EST. August 11, 2026. The last day for submitting questions is July 23, 2026.
