On-Call Electrical Services

Warwick Public Schools is seeking qualified electricians for an on-call electrical services contract through RFP #26-0006, which covers repair and project-related electrical services throughout the district's facilities in Kent County, Rhode Island. The procurement requires electricians capable of responding within two hours for emergency calls and within one hour by phone for service calls, with contractors required to have appropriate licensing and the ability to perform preliminary electrical problem assessments and necessary repairs. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a completed bid form, cost proposal with detailed hourly and overtime rates for Master, Journeyman, and Apprentice electricians, updated W-9 form, professional licenses, certifications, and proof of liability and workers' compensation insurance. Proposals are due electronically through BidNet Direct by 1:00 PM on Tuesday, November 4th, 2025, with a bid opening scheduled for the same day at the district's Administrative Offices. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest evaluated or responsive bid price, with the district reserving the right to reject any and all proposals and award contracts partially or fully based on available funds.

The procurement does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide documentation of at least three recent similar contracts and bank references, with prevailing wage requirements in effect for all services. The contract allows for potential percentage discounts on parts needed for service calls and will remain valid for 60 days from the proposal due date. While no incumbent vendors are listed, the district indicates potential for cooperative purchasing through multiple platforms including RI State MPA, NASPO, MHEC, Sourcewell, and Omnia Partners. Bidders should note that the district is exempt from Rhode Island Sales Tax and expects contractors to bear all bid preparation costs. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests a flexible, as-needed contract structure for electrical services across multiple district sites, with potential for multiple vendor selection and ongoing service requirements.
