Kenosha County Correctional Facilities Emergency Feeder and Panel Upgrades

Kenosha County, Wisconsin, is seeking bids for a comprehensive electrical infrastructure upgrade project at two critical facilities: the Public Safety Building and the Kenosha County Detention Center. The procurement involves upgrading emergency power feeders and electrical panels, with detailed engineering specifications prepared by E1 and Associates, Inc. The project requires vendors to provide electrical work and panel upgrades, with specific qualifications including five years of business experience and references from three similar projects completed within the past five years. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for 8/27/2025 at 9:00 AM, with site visits included, and bids are due on 9/17/2025 by 1:00 PM. Vendors must submit a 5% bid bond and comply with comprehensive vendor responsibility evaluations, including providing a detailed Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire. The project timeline indicates substantial completion by 1/31/2026, with work to be performed between 12/1/2025 and 1/31/2026.

The contract does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must demonstrate significant technical capabilities, including providing comprehensive insurance coverage with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate commercial general liability. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves upgrading existing electrical infrastructure across multiple electrical rooms, including the East Electrical Room C021, North Electrical Room G059, and Administration Electrical Room. The bid documents do not specify a precise budget range, but the extensive technical specifications and multiple facility upgrades suggest a substantial project investment. Bidders must submit various forms, including a Signature and Authority Affidavit, References Sheet, Bid Offer Form, and Ethics Compliance Addendum, with the county retaining 5% from each payment request until 50% of the work is completed.
