Electrical Support Services

Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech) has initiated a Request for Quote and Qualifications (RFQQ) for comprehensive electrical support services targeting electrical contractors with high voltage system expertise. The procurement is specifically located in King County, Washington, and seeks a renewable contract for commercial electrical installation, maintenance, repair, and emergency response services for high voltage electrical distribution systems and related equipment. Key deliverables include annual inspections of high voltage distribution systems, solar panel systems, electrical repair and installation services, and emergency recovery capabilities. The contractor must demonstrate organizational capacity, provide standard response times (within two hours for potential electrical system failures), exhibit technical capabilities, and present technician training and certifications. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize professional references, particularly those from Washington state educational institutions. The solicitation was posted on June 25, 2025, with proposals due by August 1, 2025, covering all college-owned properties with a focus on comprehensive electrical system maintenance.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, the RFQQ suggests a preference for contractors with demonstrated experience in educational institutional electrical systems. The contract anticipates an annual spending range between $6,000 and $30,000 for requested project work, with a pricing structure that includes time and material labor rates for different time periods (weekdays, weekends, and holidays). Pricing will be based on standard and overtime hours, and contractors will be expected to provide detailed pricing for an annual maintenance plan based on a specified equipment list. The contract appears designed to establish a long-term vendor relationship with a qualified electrical support services provider capable of maintaining LWTech's electrical infrastructure. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities, rapid response protocols, and a proven track record of managing complex electrical systems in educational environments.
