Electrical services for Beaver County

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is seeking electrical services for Beaver County facilities, specifically targeting maintenance and repair of electrical systems across their main facility and seven stockpile locations. The contract is structured for an initial 12-month period with four potential one-year renewal options, covering comprehensive electrical maintenance including servicing, replacing, repairing, and relocating electrical devices, fixtures, generators, and systems. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of 5 years of electrical work experience and maintain a branch office within 1.5 hours of the facility. Work will be performed during standard business hours, with emergency call-out requirements mandating response within 2 hours. Evaluation criteria will focus on a combination of maintenance and emergency visit costs, with bidders required to submit hourly rates for journeyman electricians and helpers, including overtime premiums. The solicitation was posted on October 26, 2017, with proposals due by November 3, 2017, and potential bidders are strongly encouraged to attend a site visit to understand project conditions prior to submission.

The contract does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Hourly rate submissions include provisions for journeyman electricians and helpers, with a $5,000 material allowance, and a contractor markup of 15% on invoiced materials. The Department reserves the right to supply materials and does not guarantee a specific quantity of work hours. Pricing will be structured with base hourly rates, overtime premiums, and a materials cost-plus component. While no incumbent vendor is identified in the documentation, the contract suggests a comprehensive electrical maintenance approach across multiple stockpile locations in Beaver County, including sites in Rochester, Aliquippa, Freedom, Ellwood City, Clinton, Beaver Falls, Darlington, and Industry. The precise budget range is not explicitly stated, but the comprehensive scope and multiple renewal options indicate potential for a significant multi-year electrical services contract.
