Electrical Installation at Port Royal Radio Tower Site

The City of Philadelphia is requesting bids for electrical installation at the Port Royal Radio Tower Site, with bids due October 13, 2026. The award will be made as a whole or by individual line item, at the City's discretion, to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. A Local Business Enterprise (LBE) bid preference applies under Philadelphia Code Chapter 17-109 to vendors with prior LBE certification.

The scope comprises three line items: installation of a 10-amp circuit to a new surface-mounted Mag Lock; installation of a 10-amp circuit to a new surface-mounted Fire Alarm Panel; and provision of materials including #12 THHN wire, 1/2 EMT conduit, 10-amp breakers, and junction boxes. Sellers must quote all items to be eligible for award consideration.

A reference quote from Thoms Wireless Construction totals $3,180.00 ($1,100.00 per circuit installation and $980.00 for materials). The total quote amount must not exceed $99,000, adjusted annually by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) from January 2020 to the most recently published index and rounded to the nearest $1,000.

The contract term is one year from the Effective Date, with options to renew for up to three additional one-year periods, not to exceed four years total. Pricing must be quoted on an FOB Destination basis, exclusive of taxes. The successful seller must maintain Workers' Compensation at statutory limits and General Liability Insurance of $500,000 per occurrence, naming the City as an additional insured.

All bids must be submitted electronically through PHLContracts with a completed Consent and Authorization Agreement. No work shall commence until the seller receives written notification and a purchase order from the City. Submission of an LGBTQ Applicant Opportunity Data Form is voluntary and does not affect bid eligibility.
