X. SHA Eastern Shores Electrician.pdf

This is a solicitation document from the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) Centreville Shop for electrical repair services at state highway buildings located in Queen Anne's County on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The contract requires a company with a master electrician to perform electrical repair work, which is primarily 120 and 240-volt single-phase work in and around buildings, excluding work inside generators or under highways. The successful bidder must maintain a stocked service van and be prepared to provide on-site labor services. Contractors should price their services based on labor hours spent on the facility, with the understanding that time spent traveling to purchase parts is not billable.

Pricing for this contract is structured as labor-hour rates, with parts billed at manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) or a reasonable markup as specified in the price form. Contractors must submit detailed, itemized invoices within 30 days of completing work, showing hours worked, labor rates, and line-item costs rather than lump-sum amounts. SHA's standard payment terms are net 15 days via paper check, though free ACH transfer is available. The state prefers credit card payment for invoices under $5,000 if the contractor does not charge additional processing fees. Contractors should not expect pre-payment or deposits, as SHA can only pay for work actually performed. The solicitation emphasizes that this is institutional work for the state government, not residential, and may accommodate contractors who prefer SHA to purchase and provide materials for installation.
