REBID RFSQ On-Call Electrical Engineering Support Services

Seattle Public Utilities is requesting qualifications for on-call electrical engineering support services under RFQ #26-114-S, with responses due September 15, 2026, and a non-mandatory pre-submittal conference on September 1. SPU anticipates awarding one on-call contract and requires an innovative and feasible WMBE inclusion plan from all respondents, reflecting the City's commitment to women and minority-owned business enterprise programs.

The scope encompasses arc flash and electrical system assessments, building electrification and decarbonization engineering, electrical safety compliance, energy performance compliance, and long-term resilience planning. SPU seeks technical expertise to address critical electrical safety requirements while advancing its fossil-fuel elimination and facility-performance goals. No minimum qualifications are stated for consultant eligibility.

The estimated contract value is $10 million to $12 million over a five-year term. SPU does not guarantee any minimum amount of work under the contract and reserves the right to modify all timelines. Interviews, if conducted, are estimated for the week of October 19, 2026. Questions are due September 4 at 5:00 p.m.

All responses must be submitted electronically through the City's Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/seattle, with prior registration required. The contract includes non-negotiable provisions mandated by Federal, State, or City law: Equal Benefits, Audit, WMBE and EEO, Confidentiality, and Debarment or mutual indemnification. SPU reserves the right to reject any response that fails to comply with instructions and may negotiate with the highest-ranked apparent successful respondent.
