RFP No. 245037 Traffic Signal Electrical Maintenance and Repair

The City of Salem, Oregon has issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 245037 for Traffic Signal Electrical Maintenance and Repair services, targeting electrical service contractors capable of providing comprehensive electrical maintenance for traffic infrastructure. The procurement seeks a contractor to perform installation and removal of traffic signal components, including poles, signal heads, lamps, pole bases, street lights, controllers, opticom systems, mast arms, underground conduits, and associated electrical work. The estimated annual service requirement is approximately 250 man hours, with proposals due on June 7, 2024, at 4:00 PM local time via Equity Hub's Bid Locker. Proposers must be licensed and bonded electrical contractors in Oregon, possess documented experience with traffic signal and street lighting systems, hold ODOT Signal Inspector Certificates, and meet OSHA "Qualified Workers" standards. Evaluation criteria will focus on the proposer's organizational structure, approach, staff qualifications, mobilization ability, fee proposal, and references. The City intends to select both a primary and alternate contractor, with work priority given to the primary contractor.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting organizational participation, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified electrical contractors. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requiring integration. While the Intent to Award document suggests Aaken Corporation will be awarded the contract on August 12, 2024, no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be a standard service contract for on-call traffic signal electrical maintenance, structured to provide the City of Salem flexibility in addressing infrastructure electrical needs through a pre-qualified contractor. The lack of specific budget details suggests the contract will likely operate on an as-needed basis, with compensation determined by the actual work performed based on the proposed fee structure.
