9885 - Central Library Book Stack Lighting Retrofit

The City of Madison is soliciting bids for the Central Library Book Stack Lighting Retrofit, a project focused on replacing existing lighting systems and controls with LED lighting and Athena network lighting controls to improve illumination, energy efficiency, and maintenance costs. The contract is structured as a lump sum bid for all labor, materials, and equipment, including delegated design for lighting integration. The project requires an electrical contractor with at least five years of experience and the employment of a Master electrician. Performance must adhere to strict technical standards, including IES LM-79 and LM-80 for light output, FCC 47 CFR part 15 for RFI/EMI, and IEEE C62.41.2 for surge withstand. The contract is awarded to a single responsible bidder whose base bid falls below the City's Construction Budget Dollar Value. A critical requirement for eligibility is compliance with Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goals or the demonstration of a good faith effort to meet them; failure to provide a completed SBE Compliance Report may result in a bidder being deemed non-responsible. The project timeline specifies that construction closeout must be reached no later than eight months after the start work letter is issued, with on-site work completed within three months of commencement. Bidders must provide a bid bond of at least 5% of the bid and, upon award, execute payment and performance bonds. All construction and demolition waste must be managed according to Madison General Ordinances 10.185 and 28.185.
