Phase I Electrical Procurement for Hindley, Holmes & Royle Elementary Schools

The Town of Darien, Connecticut, through the Hindley, Holmes and Royle Building Committee (HHRBC), is seeking bids for Phase I Electrical Procurement for switchgear and electrical distribution equipment for Hindley, Holmes, and Royle Elementary Schools as part of a comprehensive renovation project. The solicitation, identified as ITB #14274, is specifically targeting the procurement of electrical infrastructure components for these three elementary schools. The bid period opens on March 14, 2023, at 7:00 AM EDT and closes on April 4, 2023, at 2:00 PM EDT. The procurement requires vendors to provide switchgear and electrical distribution equipment with Free On Board Destination delivery terms, and payment terms will be vendor-specified. Vendors must submit comprehensive bids for the entire electrical equipment package, as the solicitation has been designated as having no individual line items. The primary contact for this procurement is Karen Dunn at the Darien Town Hall, who can be reached at 203-656-7338 or kdunn@darienct.gov. Two addenda have been issued for this solicitation (on March 20 and March 27, 2023), which may provide additional details or clarifications about the procurement requirements.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. All vendors are eligible to submit bids for this procurement. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation does not provide an estimated total value for the procurement, making it difficult to assess the potential budget range or award value. The documents also do not outline specific evaluation criteria for vendor selection. While the procurement is part of a larger renovation project for the three elementary schools, the documents focus solely on the electrical equipment procurement and do not provide broader context about the overall renovation initiative or funding sources.
