Windham Region Transit District Electric Access

The Windham Region Transit District (WRTD) is seeking sealed bids for a single contractor to provide electric access installation services for 19 diesel vehicles currently parked in an open lot serving the University of Connecticut. This solicitation (RFQ #13905) requires the installation of plug-in block heaters and associated electrical infrastructure, with quotations to be based exclusively on rates established in State contract #19PSX0002. The procurement is located in Mansfield, Connecticut, within Tolland County, and will be managed by Linda Hapeman at WRTD's office. The solicitation opened on February 24, 2023, and will close on March 27, 2023, at 8:00 AM EDT, with a vendor question and answer period running from February 27 to March 13, 2023. Deliverables include complete electrical access installation for the fleet's block heaters, with services to be performed at 28 S Frontage Rd, Mansfield Center, CT, using Free On Board Destination delivery terms.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendors are identified, and no estimated total contract value is provided in the documentation. The procurement does not specify detailed evaluation criteria or highlight any preference for disadvantaged business enterprises. Vendors are instructed to provide quotations with vendor-specified payment terms, and the installation will integrate with the existing open lot infrastructure for WRTD's diesel vehicle fleet. The project requires contractors to have the capability to install electrical access systems for block heaters, with technical competence in electrical infrastructure installation being the primary qualification. While no specific budget range is detailed, the work will be performed under the existing State contract #19PSX0002, which suggests predetermined pricing structures will apply.
