Connecticut hall lighting replacement - 2023

Southern Connecticut State University has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ-23-SCSU-03) for the Connecticut Hall Lighting Replacement project located in New Haven County, Connecticut. The procurement seeks a contractor to remove and replace existing incandescent pendant mounted light fixtures in the Connecticut Dining Hall with new LED pendant lights. The technical scope requires comprehensive electrical work, including tracing and documenting existing lighting branch circuits, consolidating and modifying circuits to accommodate new fixtures, and installing new lighting controls. Specific technical requirements include implementing a lighting contactor with a time clock and override switching for new lighting zones. The solicitation was released on March 9, 2023, with a vendor question and answer period running from March 9 to March 17, 2023, and proposals due by March 29, 2023, at 2:00 PM EDT. Vendors are expected to provide a comprehensive solution that includes careful documentation of existing electrical infrastructure, precise fixture replacement, and advanced lighting control integration.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged business enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and the solicitation appears open to all qualified vendors. The project documents include supporting materials such as a legal notice, project manual, stamped drawings, and an addendum, but do not disclose a specific estimated total project value. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be specified by the vendor. While no explicit evaluation criteria are outlined, vendors will likely be assessed on their technical capability to complete the lighting replacement, electrical circuit modification, and control system installation with minimal disruption to the university's dining hall operations. The project represents a technology upgrade focused on energy efficiency through LED lighting and advanced control systems.
