High Voltage Electrical Vault Contractor

Cuyahoga County Department of Public Works is seeking bids from a high-voltage electrical contractor for emergency troubleshooting, testing, and repair services at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center, with bids due August 21, 2026. The work is classified as mission critical and time sensitive, requiring immediate vendor availability.

The scope includes troubleshooting and testing a Motor Control Center (MCC) and electrical distribution system, repairing and delivering a PM K-Don 800 LCVB if necessary, and supplying six 15kV 125E fuses. The winning bidder must hold current High Voltage Electrical Certification with clearly evidenced experience. Cuyahoga County will provide an electrician or engineer familiar with the distribution system to support on-site testing. Bidders must include all tools, manpower, test apparatus, and associated equipment in proposals unless otherwise specified.

Proposals must include comprehensive pricing with availability, lead time, labor costs, parts lead time, freight charges, and any additional applicable fees. All quoted prices remain firm for 60 days. Lead time and material availability may influence the final award decision. Vendors experiencing materially increased costs due to changes in United States tariff policies may request price increases with supporting documentation, including Rules of Origin documentation, though Cuyahoga County reserves the right to reject any increase if documentation does not adequately support it.

The winning bidder must register in Cuyahoga County's Infor electronic purchasing system and with the County Inspector General's Office. Contractors must complete an Independent Contractor Worker Acknowledgment form and submit a W-9.
