BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Department administers the CSAs, BBVRPD, and BRPD, which operate and maintain public facilities and infrastructure countywide, including parks, water and sewer systems, street lighting, and other public service assets. These districts periodically require licensed contractors to perform electrical installation, maintenance and repair services in support of ongoing operations Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) countywide, including work on electrical distribution systems, transformers, panels, lighting, network and fiber systems, and SCADA components. The ability to have qualified contractors available to provide these services greatly enhances the Department’s ability to respond to routine, urgent, and emergency electrical needs while ensuring operational continuity, public safety, regulatory compliance, and protection of County assets.
Approval of this item will allow for the use of on-call electrical installation, maintenance, and repair services on an as-needed basis for the County, CSAs, BBVRPD, and BRPD. The recommended contracts will provide readily available on-call electrical installation, maintenance, and repair services from pre-approved companies to enhance work efficiencies. Workloads and assignments to the on-call contractors will be based on availability, responsiveness, and expertise in areas of particular need on an as-needed and project-by-project basis that will be solicited by the Department and then memorialized in a purchase order. The term of these contracts is for five years but may be terminated for convenience upon 30 days’ written notice.
PROCUREMENT
The Department approved and authorized the release of Request for Proposal (RFP) No. SDD-045 (SPD126-SPDAD-6097) on October 21, 2025, to solicit proposals from interested and qualified agencies to provide electrical installation, maintenance and repair services.
