6th St Electrical Upgrade

The Town of Georgetown, Colorado is requesting proposals for electrical upgrades to 6th Street streetlighting and holiday lighting infrastructure, with proposals due October 5, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. The scope covers installation of five NEMA 3R or 4 metal enclosed circuit breakers with overcurrent protection and seven H-O-A selector switches across six utility pole locations to provide three operational modes—manual (always on), off (always off), and automatic (dawn-to-dusk via photocell)—for eighteen historic streetlights and two holiday lighting circuits. Work includes mounting electrical enclosures on utility poles in compliance with Xcel Energy requirements, modifying existing wiring, installing proper grounding and bonding, and inspecting and repairing conduit and connections to ensure code compliance.

The Town anticipates work authorization by late October 2026 with completion required by the end of November 2026 to support holiday lighting operations. Work shall be performed Monday through Friday unless other arrangements are made in advance with the Town's Project Manager. Proposals must include a detailed task summary with material specifications and quantities, a list of anticipated subcontractors, a preliminary schedule demonstrating ability to meet the completion deadline, proposed terms and conditions addressing scope, payment terms, change orders, site management, permits, insurance and bonding, dispute resolution and warranty provisions, and an insurance certificate documenting minimum $1 million contractor liability coverage. Proposals must also demonstrate qualifications and experience performing similar projects through references and contact information. Proposals should be delivered to Georgetown Town Hall, 404 6th Street, P.O. Box 426, Georgetown, CO 80444. Questions should be directed to Dennis Durham, Town Administrator, at (303) 569-2555 Ext. 3.
