Professional Services - Electrical Infrastructure Construction On Call Services

The City of Gunnison, Colorado, is seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from electrical construction firms to provide professional, on-call electrical infrastructure construction services through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ No. 25-14). The procurement aims to establish a list of qualified firms to perform electrical construction projects throughout the city, with primary work involving installing, replacing, and repairing distribution and transmission poles, conduit, conductors, and substation construction, maintenance, and repair. The contract will have a three-year term ending December 31, 2025, with the first year's work not guaranteed and annual renewals subject to revised rate sheets. Key procurement dates include a June 26, 2025 RFQ issue date, a July 9, 2025 deadline for questions, and a July 17, 2025, 2:00 PM submission deadline for SOQs through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. The evaluation will be conducted by a Review Committee using a 100-point scoring system, with pass/fail criteria for the cover letter and safety record. Scoring will focus on staff qualifications (20 points), overall experience (40 points), experience in the Gunnison Valley (20 points), experience in Colorado (10 points), and equipment and resources (10 points).

The City of Gunnison encourages submissions from disadvantaged, minority, and women-owned consultants and reserves the right to reject any or all SOQs, modify the RFQ, or cancel the solicitation without incurring any obligation or liability. Respondents must submit a comprehensive SOQ limited to ten single-sided pages, including details on staff qualifications, project experience, local and state work history, available resources, and safety records. While no specific set-aside designations or incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the procurement process appears to be open to a wide range of electrical construction firms with demonstrated expertise in electrical infrastructure projects. The RFQ does not specify a precise award value or budget range, but the three-year contract and on-call nature of the services suggest flexibility in project scope and potential compensation. Firms interested in responding must carefully prepare their SOQs to address the detailed evaluation criteria and demonstrate their capabilities in electrical construction services within the Gunnison Valley and Colorado region.
