Electrical Troubleshooting, Repairs, Testing & Maintenance

Wayne County, Michigan is seeking proposals for a comprehensive electrical troubleshooting, repairs, testing, and maintenance contract (RFP 37-25-034) covering four Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Basins and two Rouge Valley Sewage Disposal System lift stations. The procurement requires a qualified contractor to provide technical labor, supervision, basic equipment, consumable materials, and engineering services to address electrical power issues at these critical infrastructure locations. Proposers must submit comprehensive responses demonstrating expertise in electrical systems maintenance, with proposals due by July 18, 2025, at 1:00 PM local time. The contract evaluation will be based on several key criteria: experience and qualifications (25 points), work plan (10 points), technical solution (20 points), project cost (30 points), and utilization of first-tier subcontractors located in Wayne County (15 points). The contract term is expected to be three years from the award date, with potential for two additional one-year extensions at the county's discretion. Proposer questions were due by June 27, 2025, and the county reserves the right to reject any or all proposals.

The procurement includes opportunities for County Based Enterprises (CBE) and Targeted Growth Community Enterprises (TGCE), with equalization credits ranging from 2-7% depending on contract amount. The contract is part of a broader consortium agreement involving the Michigan Association of Counties (MAC) and the CoPro+ shared services program, which allows cooperative purchasing for local municipalities, school districts, and government units. An administrative rebate fee of 1.5% will be collected quarterly from the successful supplier, distributed among consortium members. Contractors must complete an Ethics in Contracting Vendor Form and a First Tier Subcontractor Designation Form, with requirements for prime contractors receiving contracts over $50,000 for supplies/services. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the pricing structure includes hourly rates for services during normal business hours, after-business hours, weekends, and holidays, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 50 to 200 hours per service category. The contract will also allow for parts and equipment pricing, with vendors requested to indicate percentage discounts or mark-ups.
