Electrician Services

Workforce Solutions Cameron, a private non-profit corporation, has issued Request for Quotes (RFQ) #25-RFQ-09-257 for on-call electrician services across five workforce development centers located in Brownsville and Harlingen, Texas. The procurement seeks qualified electrical contractors capable of providing responsive maintenance and repair services with a mandatory 2-hour phone response time and 8-hour maximum in-person response window. Contractors must provide comprehensive services including labor, materials, equipment, and transportation, with repairs exceeding $1,500 requiring advance approval. The RFQ's evaluation criteria include 45 points for pricing, 40 points for years in business, 15 points for proposal completeness, and 5 points for Historically Under-Utilized Business (HUB) certification. Quotes are due by 3:00 PM CST on October 10, 2025, with an anticipated contract award date of November 1, 2025. The initial contract term will be one year, with potential renewals for up to four additional one-year periods contingent upon satisfactory performance.

The solicitation includes specific requirements for contractor qualifications, mandating public liability and property insurance coverage of $1,000,000 and proof of Workers Compensation coverage. The RFQ provides a preference for Historically Under-Utilized Business (HUB) certification, which can contribute to a contractor's evaluation score. Contractors must demonstrate substantial electrical service experience, with years in business comprising a significant portion of the evaluation criteria. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the contract will be negotiated on a cost reimbursement basis, suggesting flexibility in pricing structures. The geographical scope is limited to Cameron County, Texas, specifically servicing Workforce Solutions Cameron centers in Brownsville and Harlingen. The on-call nature of the contract implies potential variability in work volume and compensation, with service needs determined by the centers' maintenance requirements.
