Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment - Edmonston Pumping Plant

The project involves the installation and electrical connection of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) infrastructure at the Edmonston Pumping Plant in Lebec, California, with all work requiring full compliance with project drawings, including ADA-accessible ports and associated systems. The scope encompasses saw cutting, trenching, backfilling, and restoration of the site surface to its original condition, along with all wiring, devices, testing, and commissioning necessary for a fully operational EVSE system. Only Small Business firms certified by the California Department of General Services, Office of Small Business and DVBE Services, are eligible to bid, with DVBE participation offering a potential 5% bid incentive. All work must adhere to the National Electrical Code, NEMA, ASTM, IEEE, OSHA, and manufacturer specifications, with inspections conducted on-site by the State and acceptance contingent upon successful completion of tests including insulation resistance, continuity, voltage drop (≤3%), grounding impedance (≤2 ohms), thermal scanning, and torque verification. Performance must meet applicable state and local codes, and contractors must submit as-built drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, warranties, and certification records. The contract requires delivery of materials in manufacturer’s sealed packaging with compliant labeling per ASME A13.1, ANSI Z535.4, NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, and UL 969, using durable, weather- and UV-resistant labels with minimum sizes of 1.5" x 6" for raceways and 3.5" x 5" for equipment. The performance period is 60 calendar days beginning upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed, with no FOB terms specified. The State will conduct final inspection within 14 days of the contractor’s written request.
