The procurement aims to establish pre-negotiated contracts for 2025 and 2026 with suppliers capable of providing emergency response services during hurricanes, tornadoes, and other major natural or man-made disasters. Suppliers must demonstrate the ability to identify infrastructure damage, assess safety concerns, and quickly integrate with OUC's damage assessment and restoration systems. Key deliverables include deploying qualified personnel to inspect utility infrastructure, document damage, and prioritize safety during post-disaster scenarios. Minimum qualifications include five years of post-disaster safety and damage assessment experience, current OSHA and DOT training, and comprehensive documentation of company capabilities. The pre-response conference is scheduled for June 25, 2025, at 11:30 AM EST via Microsoft Teams, with proposal submissions due by July 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST. Evaluation criteria will encompass company experience, key personnel qualifications, project approach, financial stability, insurance coverage, and compliance forms.
The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is structured to allow OUC to issue purchase orders with defined ceiling prices based on event severity, with potential FEMA reimbursement eligibility through federal procurement standards. The pricing structure includes detailed rate schedules for labor classifications such as Electrical Engineers, Electrical Technicians, and Drivers, with provisions for standard, overtime, and double-time rates. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract covers a period from the last signed date through May 31, 2027. The solicitation does not require a bid bond or payment and performance bond. Suppliers will be expected to provide a comprehensive pricing template with hourly rates for labor and equipment, including options with and without fuel. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the contract is designed to support rapid deployment of emergency response crews with up to three crews working daily from 7 AM to 7 PM during assessment periods.
