Lamar Co DHR Lights, ballast & lamp holder Installation

The state of Alabama, specifically Lauderdale County's Department of Human Resources (DHR), is seeking a qualified vendor to perform a comprehensive lighting installation project at the Lamar County DHR facility in Vernon, AL. The procurement involves the removal and replacement of 28 light bulbs, 128 lamp holders, and 7 ballasts across multiple rooms including Room 102, 104, 106, the Financial Support Hallway, Room 128, and employee bathrooms. Vendors must meet specific product requirements, including using CURRENT LIGHTING SOL ballasts, fluorescent lamps, LEVITON ELECTRICAL lamp holders, and LED light bulbs. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for February 18, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. CST, and all work must be completed in February 2025. Bidders must maintain current licensing at the time of award and installation, and the quoted price must include all associated costs such as trip charges, mileage, supplies, labor, fees, permit fees, and lift trucks. Evaluation will likely focus on vendor qualifications, total cost, and ability to complete the project within the specified timeframe. The proposal is due by February 20, 2025, and will be submitted through the Alabama Buys Public Solicitation site.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The DHR County office will supply the fluorescent lamps, ballasts, and bulbs, which must be verified on-site before scheduling installation. Payment terms are Net 30, with compensation made in arrears after service completion and no invoicing permitted prior to service completion. Vendors are required to dispose of existing components off-site and ensure the work area is left clean. While a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a modest capital investment. Foreign entities must be registered with the Alabama Secretary of State, and all suppliers must be enrolled in the E-Verify program if they have employees in Alabama. The state reserves the right to conduct price reasonableness analysis and verify supplier qualifications. Prospective bidders must be registered in the Alabama Buys system and prepared to submit electronic responses meeting all specified technical and administrative requirements.
