This invitation to quote (ITQ) seeks a licensed and insured general contractor to perform comprehensive electrical system upgrades including rewiring to meet the National Electrical Code and Escambia County Building Code requirements, installation of a new meter base/power pack and riser, potential new breaker panel installation, hardwired smoke detectors with battery backup, new receptacles and switches, LED fixtures, and doorbell installation, along with associated drywall repair and painting. Key qualifications include current general contractor licensure, proof of Sunbiz registration (or equivalent for out-of-state firms), valid W-9 documentation, Worker's Compensation insurance or exemption forms, and Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, and Pollution Liability insurance with minimum $1,000,000 coverage listing Escambia County as a certificate holder; projects valued at $25,000 or higher require 100 percent Performance and Payment Bonds. The procurement timeline includes a mandatory pre-quote walk-through on March 11, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at the project site, a questions submission deadline of March 18, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., bid submissions due by March 19, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. through the OpenGov portal, and quote review scheduled for March 20, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. at 221 Palafox Place, Pensacola. All work must be completed within 60 days, with liquidated damages of $150 per day assessed for any work exceeding the contract period, and evaluation will be based on submitted lump-sum pricing for the entire electrical scope.

This procurement does not contain specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises; however, the County requires that new contractors submit a letter of insurability confirming eligibility and insurance compliance. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are referenced in the available documentation. The County may award line items on an individual basis for emergency items limited to roofing and septic/sewer services only and reserves the right to remove line items if total project costs exceed available funds. Payment structure varies based on project value: projects under $15,000 will be issued as a lump-sum payment upon project completion, while projects exceeding $15,000 are eligible for a 40 percent draw once 50 percent work completion is confirmed, a substantial completion draw within 20 business days thereafter, and final payment upon completion of all scope items, building inspections, homeowner acceptance, warranty documentation submission, and clearance requirements. The specific award value or total budget for this project has not been disclosed in the procurement documents, though the project scope and payment terms suggest the award value may be subject to the $15,000 threshold for determining payment methodology.
