On-Demand Electrical Services

Bedford County is soliciting proposals for on-demand electrical services under an RFP, with proposals due June 4, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Contractors must hold Class A Electrical Contractor licensure from the Virginia State Board of Contractors and comply with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.

The scope encompasses electrical construction for new construction, renovations, and improvements to County facilities and grounds, including general office areas, athletic facilities, and miscellaneous renovation projects. Work is ancillary to electrical construction activities but may include other construction as necessary to complete electrical work. The County will provide water and electricity as necessary; contractors supply all utility connections and associated materials.

The initial contract term is one year from award with four optional one-year renewal periods. The County may extend the contract for up to six months beyond the final renewal period upon mutual agreement. Pricing is firm for the initial contract period; renewal-period increases are limited to the lesser of the CPI-W increase or 3 percent. The County will make multiple awards to highest-ranked responsible offerors following successful negotiation.

Evaluation is weighted: qualifications and experience (30 points), plan for providing services (25 points), quality of products and services (20 points), accessibility and proximity (15 points), and hourly cost or price (10 points).

Contractors must maintain adequate liability insurance, provide workers' compensation coverage, obtain background checks for all employees, and comply with federal, state, and local laws including immigration regulations. Payment terms are Net 30 Days unless otherwise negotiated. No pre-proposal meeting is scheduled.
