IFB No. 117934 for "As Needed" Electrical Services

The California Employment Development Department (EDD) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 117934 for "As Needed" Electrical Services at two facilities located in Imperial County: 1550 W. Main Street in El Centro and 355 E. 3rd Street in Calexico. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive electrical services, including inspections, consultations, work order completion, and emergency repairs over a two-year contract period from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2027. Bidders must possess a valid C-10 State Contractor's License and have journeyman-level employees capable of performing work simultaneously at multiple locations. The bid is due on June 26, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. PST, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. Evaluation criteria will focus on technical capability, licensing, experience, and cost proposal completeness. Prospective bidders are recommended to conduct site inspections prior to submitting their bids to fully understand the scope of required electrical services.

The solicitation includes provisions for small business participation, though the disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) participation requirements have been waived for this specific contract. Bidders must complete multiple forms, including a detailed cost proposal, bidder declaration, and various state and federal certifications regarding debarment and contractor clauses. Insurance requirements are substantial, mandating general liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and workers' compensation insurance of $1,000,000. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, material costs may include up to a 10% contractor markup, and all invoices must be accompanied by detailed receipts. The contract appears designed to provide flexible, on-demand electrical services for EDD facilities, with the potential for ongoing work based on the department's evolving maintenance and repair needs. Successful contractors will demonstrate technical proficiency, reliability, and the ability to respond quickly to both routine and emergency electrical service requirements.
