About this opportunity
The City of Tucson is conducting a competitive two-step Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 240196 to procure Job Order Contracts (JOCs) for installation, maintenance, and repair of fiber and copper networks. The procurement aims to select up to four contractors to provide labor, materials, and some design services for telecommunications infrastructure work across Pima County. Contractors will be responsible for executing network construction, repair, and maintenance projects, with individual job orders not exceeding $500,000 and typical project ranges between $50,000-$300,000. The evaluation process will score firms based on qualifications and experience of the firm (40 points), team qualifications and experience (35 points), method of approach and available resources (20 points), and subcontractor selection plan (5 points). A pre-submittal conference is scheduled for October 31, 2024, at 10:30 am via Microsoft Teams, with proposals due on November 14, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. local Arizona time. The contract term will be one year with four potential one-year renewal options, and services will be requested on an as-needed basis.
The procurement includes significant small business and disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) requirements, with an established 12% aspirational DBE participation goal for FTA-funded projects. Potential contractors must comply with Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Program requirements for projects meeting or exceeding $100,000 and submit detailed subcontractor participation plans. Funding may involve Federal Transit Administration (FTA), local, and Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) sources, which mandates adherence to federal, state, and local regulations. The estimated first-year contract usage is $2,000,000, with potential additional funding through federal programs like HUD. Contractors must meet specific compliance requirements, including Section 3 regulations for providing economic opportunities to low-income persons, and will be subject to comprehensive reporting and documentation standards. The City of Tucson will list RTA as an additional insured party, and contractors must demonstrate the ability to navigate complex regulatory environments across federal, state, and local funding mechanisms.
