Eversource Second Electrical Feed

The University of Connecticut is seeking Statements of Qualifications from experienced and qualified engineering firms for an Eversource second electrical feed project located in Tolland County, Connecticut. The primary objective is to establish a second electrical feed connection from Eversource to the University of Connecticut campus, focusing on professional engineering services for design and installation. Interested firms must submit comprehensive qualifications demonstrating their technical expertise and capability to execute this critical infrastructure project. The solicitation period runs from December 2, 2021, to January 6, 2022, with a specific vendor Q&A period from December 2 to December 20, 2021. Proposals must be submitted by January 6, 2022, at 2:00 PM EST, with all submissions directed to Elaine Dumas at the University's Discovery Drive location in Storrs, CT. The solicitation (Solicitation Number: 300136) requires engineering firms to provide detailed qualifications that showcase their experience with electrical infrastructure projects, though specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly outlined in the documentation.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. No information is provided about disadvantaged enterprise requirements or preferences. The documentation does not reference any incumbent vendors or existing contractors currently managing the electrical infrastructure. Similarly, the solicitation materials do not disclose the estimated total project value, budget range, or specific financial parameters. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor. Two supplementary documents, the RFQ Project Information Sheet and Addendum 1, are mentioned but not fully detailed in the provided materials. The lack of specificity suggests that the University is primarily interested in gathering qualification statements from engineering firms capable of executing the second electrical feed project, with further details to be negotiated after initial qualification screening.
