Electrical Installation Services for Portable Classroom Trailers

Fairfax County Public Schools is requesting proposals for electrical installation services for portable classroom trailers on an as-required basis under an RFP due November 3, 2026, with contract performance through December 31, 2028 and three optional one-year renewal periods.

A contractor location preference (not a set-aside) applies: vendors within a 200-mile radius of the FCPS Gatehouse Administration Center in Falls Church, Virginia are preferred. Contractors must be licensed in Virginia as Class A or Class B depending on project value thresholds.

The scope includes electrical service installation, utility pole installation and removal, power shed installation and removal, and low-voltage cabling for trailers located up to 300 feet or over 300 feet from school buildings. FCPS estimates 70 to 120 electrical installations annually. All work must comply with the National Electrical Code and Virginia Construction Code. Contractors must obtain electrical trade permits and inspections at their own expense. For individual projects exceeding $100,000, contractors must furnish performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract sum and maintain workers' compensation ($100,000), commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), and automobile liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence / aggregate) with FCPS named as certificate holder and additional insured.

Proposals are weighted as follows: statement of qualifications (30%), detailed approach (15%), proposed team (20%), references (10%), safety compliance (5%), overall technical evaluation (5%), and business proposal pricing (15%). FCPS may award contracts to multiple qualified offerors. Invoices are paid within 45 days of receipt. Renewal pricing will not exceed the original contract price adjusted by the Consumer Price Index.

Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bonfire Interactive portal at https://fcps.bonfirehub.com by 2:00 p.m. on November 3, 2026. Technical questions should be directed to Jock Owens, Senior Manager of Facilities Improvement, at 703-764-2449 or rwowens@fcps.edu; procurement questions to Nay Bunaugh, Senior Buyer, at 571-423-2279 or njbunaugh@fcps.edu.
