Electrical, Fire Alarm, Fire Suppression, Public Address System Installation & S

The City of Clovis, located in Chaves County, New Mexico, is seeking electrical service contractors through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for comprehensive electrical, fire alarm, fire suppression, and public address system installation and repair services. The procurement aims to select one or more qualified contractors to provide on-demand electrical services across approximately 16 city departments, with potential work requirements extending beyond standard business hours and including weekend services. Contractors must possess a valid New Mexico electrical contractor's license and demonstrate capability to work on 12-24 volt control systems and 12-480 volt three-phase systems, while strictly adhering to the National Electrical Code. The proposal was issued on March 3, 2019, with responses due on March 26, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time, and included a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference on March 12, 2019. Proposal evaluation will be comprehensive, utilizing a 100-point scoring system that considers qualifications, operational capacity, references, past performance, and cost structure. The initial contract term is one year, with potential for up to three additional one-year renewals, not exceeding a total contract duration of four years.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the RFP indicates the city reserves the right to multi-award contracts, potentially creating opportunities for multiple vendors. The cost proposal includes detailed hourly rate structures for journeymen, apprentices, and laborers, covering standard business hours and emergency call-out scenarios, with a minimum one-hour service call charge. No guaranteed minimum purchase volume is specified, and the city maintains full discretion to reject any or all proposals. The procurement does not limit participation based on business size or type, suggesting an open competitive process. Although specific budget ranges were not disclosed, the comprehensive service requirements and potential multi-year contract suggest a significant potential contract value. The city's approach emphasizes flexibility, allowing for potential contract adjustments and multiple vendor selections to meet their diverse electrical service needs across various municipal departments.
