The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners issued Request for Pre-Qualification (RPQ) #23-074/ZG for electrical services under a sixty-month term contract with an anticipated total expenditure of $1,339,500. The solicitation seeks to establish a pre-qualified vendor list for electrical repair and installation services across three distinct geographic lots: Lot #1 (countywide excluding Palm Beach International Airport), Lot #2 (Glades Area), and Lot #3 (Palm Beach International Airport). Scope of work includes installation of new or relocated electrical fixtures, circuit panels, breakers, and troubleshooting and repair of high voltage equipment, switchgear controls, generator transfer switches, and electric motors. Qualified vendors must conduct mandatory site inspections for each project and are required to provide lump sum quotes within five business days of receipt, with pricing to remain firm for ten days from quotation submittal and individual projects not to exceed $99,999. All vendors must possess current State of Florida or Palm Beach County Electrical Contractor licenses, maintain current Business Tax Receipts, and complete criminal history records checks, with enhanced TSA compliance requirements for Palm Beach International Airport personnel. The initial submission deadline was May 11, 2023 at 4:00 p.m., with provisions allowing new vendors to submit applications at any time thereafter for evaluation and addition to the pre-qualified list. Evaluation criteria include contractor experience with similar projects, financial stability, equipment capabilities, insurance coverage, and proposed pricing structures.

Small/Minority/Women Business Enterprise (S/M/WBE) participation requirements apply to this solicitation, with a 5% local preference extended to vendors with permanent places of business in Palm Beach County or the Glades Area. All vendors must maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance of not less than $500,000 per occurrence for Lots #1 and #2, and $5,000,000 per occurrence for Lot #3 (Palm Beach International Airport), along with required Business Auto Liability and Workers' Compensation coverage. Payment is rendered upon county acceptance of completed work supported by signed service tickets and compliant invoices submitted within thirty days of service completion, or within five days for September services. The county reserves the right to accept or reject any or all responses, to acquire goods or services through state contracts if offering lower pricing, and to re-advertise upon reaching anticipated funding levels. The contract term extends through sixty months or until estimated funding is expended, with the anticipated total expenditure of $1,339,500 distributed across all three geographic lots over the contract period.
