122 ROCKWELL ST - ELECTRICAL UPGRADES

The City of Jackson, Michigan is seeking sealed proposals for electrical upgrades at 122 Rockwell Street through its e-Procurement Portal, with bids due on January 8, 2025, at 9:00 AM. The project involves comprehensive electrical system improvements to bring the property into compliance with current Housing Code and Electrical Regulations. Specific deliverables include installing hard-wired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the basement, creating new dedicated circuits for the furnace and water heater, and adding GFCI outlets. Contractors are permitted to contact the homeowner to schedule property access and assess the project scope, though no formal pre-bid meeting will be held. The work requires strict adherence to electrical code standards, with contractors expected to demonstrate technical expertise in residential electrical systems. Evaluation criteria will focus on compliance with technical specifications, pricing, and the contractor's ability to meet all regulatory requirements. Bidders must be prepared to submit detailed proposals demonstrating their capability to complete the electrical upgrades within the specified timeframe.

The contract opportunity includes several important set-aside and compliance requirements, particularly emphasizing equal employment opportunity and civil rights standards. Bidders must comply with multiple federal and state regulations, including Title VI and Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act, the Michigan Civil Rights Act, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Contractors are required to register with SAM.gov and demonstrate compliance with federal provisions such as the Davis-Bacon Act and Executive Order 11246 on Equal Opportunity. The project appears to have a strong focus on directing economic opportunities to low- and very low-income persons, with special provisions for including minority and women-owned businesses. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project is likely funded through a municipal housing rehabilitation program, potentially with HUD support. The City of Jackson reserves the right to reject any bids and will award the contract to the most responsible bidder offering the lowest compliant proposal, with an emphasis on comprehensive and code-compliant electrical system improvements.
