ADRS Main Distribution Unit, RQ25*271953

The Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services (ADRS) is seeking a qualified electrical contractor to replace the Main Distribution Unit at their facility located in Montgomery. The procurement involves the purchase and installation of a specific GE 2000 Amp 600V 3 pole main distribution breaker, with replacement to be conducted on a Saturday within the facility. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid conference on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 1:30 PM at 602 South Lawrence Street, with failure to attend resulting in automatic bid disqualification. Prospective vendors must be certified by the Alabama Electrical Contractors Board and hold a current license from the Alabama State Board of Licensing for General Contractors. The complete bid must include comprehensive pricing covering shipping, handling, labor, parts, equipment, and supplies necessary for the breaker replacement, with a required completion timeline of 120 days from purchase order award. Submission of bids must be completed through the Alabama Buys supplier portal, with the final due date set for June 9, 2025.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to carry liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and must provide all new, unused equipment acceptable to the original manufacturer. The procurement will be awarded on an "all or none" basis to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specifications. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, vendors must include all freight charges in their bid pricing, and the state will process invoices 30 days in arrears. The contract includes a mandatory 1-year warranty for both labor and the breaker, with the successful vendor responsible for disposing of the old equipment. Vendors must ensure all materials and labor meet local trade practices and codes, and be prepared to respond to additional information requests within five days of receipt.
