Electrical meter consolidation services

The Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) is seeking electrical meter consolidation services for its Dr. Bradley P. Gilbert Center for Learning & Innovation, located in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The Request for Bid (RFB-25-06397) requires a C-10 Electrical Contractor to consolidate three existing electrical services into a single service, integrate a 1500KW generator to support building loads, and remove the existing Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Mandatory job walks are scheduled for July 23, 2025, and August 14, 2025, with bidders required to attend one session and arrive no more than five minutes late or risk disqualification. The bid submission deadline is September 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM PT, with questions accepted until August 21, 2025. Bidders must provide a 10% bid guarantee, meet specific insurance and bonding requirements, and comply with prevailing wage regulations. Evaluation will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with liquidated damages set at $1,000 per calendar day of delay beyond the contract time.

The project contract term is 18 months from the Notice to Proceed, with an estimated project cost of $1,700,000. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the documentation. Bidders must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations and provide comprehensive documentation, including project experience, safety records, and detailed cost breakdowns. The project involves technical electrical work such as establishing temporary feeds, removing existing transformers, installing a new service, and connecting existing switchboards to a new main service. Salvaged items from the UPS/Battery room must be itemized, with their value potentially offsetting the cost charged to IEHP. The electrical service consolidation will utilize a new automatic transfer switch with specific technical requirements, including a 3000A frame size, UL 1008 listing, and comprehensive monitoring and control features. Contractors will be required to provide factory testing, field quality control, and training for owner's representatives.
