Electrical Upgrades - Building #1

The state of Pennsylvania is seeking electrical upgrades for Building #1 at the State Correctional Institution in Cambridge Springs, Crawford County. This regular low bid project involves removing and replacing an existing pad mounted transformer, medium voltage power lines, and constructing new underground primary and secondary electrical feeders with related site work. The project's comprehensive electrical construction scope will require detailed technical expertise in institutional electrical infrastructure modernization. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for Tuesday, March 15, 2016, at 10:00 A.M. in the Superintendent's Conference Room at the Cambridge Springs facility, with all questions to be directed to Mark Nicolia at (814) 398-5456. The bid is due on Wednesday, April 6, 2016, at 2:00 P.M., with bid documents available for a $15.00 non-refundable fee payable to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Interested contractors must have a valid Vendor Number and can register at www.pasupplierportal.state.pa.us to secure project specifications.

The contract opportunity has specific compliance requirements, including mandatory submission of a Commonwealth Public Works Verification Form under the Public Works Employment Verification Act 127 of 2012. The estimated project value is under $300,000, positioning it as a relatively modest infrastructure upgrade project. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, contractors must meet state registration and verification standards. The project is limited to electrical construction services with a focus on institutional infrastructure upgrades at a state correctional facility. Potential bidders should have demonstrated experience in complex electrical systems replacement, underground feeder construction, and institutional facility improvements. All bid documents and results can be accessed through the Pennsylvania Department of General Services website (dgs.pa.gov) under the "bidding" section, providing transparency in the procurement process.
