1117 Carl Breeding Way - Electrical Upgrades

The City of Jackson Community Development Department is seeking competitive, sealed bids for electrical upgrades at 1117 Carl Breeding Way, identified as project #2025-COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT-071. The procurement involves comprehensive electrical system improvements to bring the property into compliance with current housing and electrical codes, requiring a licensed electrical contractor to perform specific tasks. These tasks include installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, addressing wiring issues, ensuring proper circuit protection, and resolving electrical code violations. Bidders must be prequalified on Sam.gov, registered with the City of Jackson, and possess necessary licensing and insurance. The project is structured as a lump sum procurement with a $500 fixture allowance, and contractors will be responsible for all wall and ceiling repairs resulting from electrical work. The Request for Proposal was released on September 22, 2025, with responses due by October 3, 2025, at 9:00 am. Evaluation criteria will likely include compliance with specifications, licensing, pricing, and ability to complete work within required timeframes.

The contract opportunity appears to have set-aside considerations emphasizing non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity, with specific provisions for promoting opportunities for minority and women-owned businesses and low-income individuals. Contractors must comply with federal requirements, including HUD-related regulations such as Section 3 employment guidelines and affirmative action standards. The project is funded through the City of Jackson's Community Development Department and involves Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, which triggers additional federal compliance requirements. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project includes several protective financial instruments, including a Labor and Material Payment Bond, a Performance Bond, and a Maintenance and Guarantee Bond. Contractors will be required to provide an 18-month warranty on work and materials, and the project involves potential integration with existing residential electrical infrastructure. Successful bidders must demonstrate the capability to complete electrical upgrades within five days of receiving a Notice to Proceed, with potential consequences for non-compliance including contract termination and potential debarment from future HUD-assisted contracts.
