The City of Cape May, New Jersey, is seeking licensed master electricians to provide comprehensive electrical maintenance and repair services for various municipal facilities through Bid #24-20. The procurement covers electrical work for multiple city locations, including City Hall, Police Department, Fire Department, Convention Hall, Public Works, Water Works, Beach Patrol Headquarters, Welcome Center, and Transportation Center. Contractors must submit proposals electronically through BIDNET by March 21, 2025, at 10:00 am, with the expectation of commencing work within 24 hours of notification and responding to emergency repairs within two hours.

Key qualifications include being in business for at least five years, possessing necessary technical knowledge, providing all required tools and equipment, and maintaining appropriate insurance coverage. The City will evaluate and award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, with the contract initially spanning twelve months and potential extensions for one or two additional years.

Bidders must submit multiple documentation requirements, including business registration certificates, non-collusion affidavits, and proof of contractor registration. The City anticipates approximately $30,000 in electrical services and repairs for the contract period, with the potential for additional work through contract extensions. Contractors must demonstrate technical competence, financial stability, and the ability to respond quickly to both standard and emergency electrical service needs. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the bid documents suggest a comprehensive approach to municipal electrical maintenance that requires a versatile and responsive contractor capable of serving multiple city facilities with professional and timely service.
