General Electrical Services

The City of Crystal Lake is requesting proposals from qualified licensed electrical contractors to provide on-call electrical services for Public Works Department buildings and facilities on an as-needed basis, with proposals due September 15, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CDT.

The scope includes scheduled and emergency electrical repairs, upgrades, installations, and replacements for infrastructure components. Work will be assigned on a work order basis, with each work order proposal including all labor, tools, equipment, transportation, and supervision. The City may expand the scope to other municipal sites at the request of the Director of Public Works or designee.

The initial contract term runs from November 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027 (13 months), with up to three optional one-year extensions. Pricing is based on time and material rates as bid by the contractor. Optional year pricing increases annually according to the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin Consumer Price Index (All Items Index) for the 12-month percentage change not seasonally adjusted, as reported in September by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; if August data is unavailable, the calculation uses the next sequential month with available data.

Proposals must be submitted electronically through the QuestCDN VirtuBid platform or as sealed paper copies to the City of Crystal Lake Municipal Complex at 100 W. Woodstock Street, Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014. Contract documents are available at no cost through QuestCDN (file size 1 MB); plan holders receive automatic notice of addenda and bid updates.
