IFB # 114749 " As Needed: Electrical Services

The California Employment Development Department (EDD) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 114749 for "As Needed" Electrical Services targeting two specific EDD office locations in Modesto and Merced, California. The procurement encompasses comprehensive electrical services including repairs, inspections, maintenance, and emergency work to be performed over a three-year contract period from May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2028. Contractors must possess a valid C-10 State Contractor's License and demonstrate the capability to respond to service requests within 24 hours, with emergency calls requiring a two-hour response time. The bid submission deadline is March 28, 2025 at 3:00 p.m., with bids to be submitted directly to the EDD Contract Services Group. Evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest responsible bidder, with potential material cost markups of up to 10%. Required bid documentation includes a Cost Proposal, Bidder Declaration, and various state-mandated certifications regarding debarment, Iran contracting, and other regulatory compliance measures.

The procurement includes specific set-aside preferences for Small Business (SB) and Nonprofit Veteran Service Agency (NVSA) certified businesses, potentially offering a 5% bid preference for qualified vendors. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating general liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation insurance, and automobile liability insurance. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the "as needed" nature of the contract suggests flexible spending potential across multiple jurisdictions including Merced County, Yolo County, San Joaquin County, Calaveras County, Stanislaus County, Tuolumne County, and associated cities and census-designated places. The procurement appears designed to establish a flexible, multi-year electrical services contract that can respond rapidly to EDD facility maintenance needs across several Central California locations. Potential bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure complete compliance with state procurement regulations and specific technical requirements outlined in the IFB.
