Electrical Install Maint & Repairs Convenience Contract-27

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is soliciting contractors for a convenience contract to provide electrical equipment installation, maintenance, and repair services across its campus. The contract, identified as solicitation number 69-3403, has a posting date of August 7, 2026, with responses due by September 2, 2026. The work must comply with OSHA standards, the National Electrical Code, and all applicable state and local regulations, using only new, factory-manufactured materials unless prior written approval is obtained. Contractors are required to hold a valid North Carolina electrical license and demonstrate at least five years of relevant experience. All services must be performed at UNCG facilities in Greensboro, with performance locations potentially extending to any campus site, and contractors must maintain a local office or shop within 100 miles of the main campus. The contract is structured as a one-year base period with two optional one-year renewals and a possible 180-day extension, and it does not guarantee a minimum level of spend. The evaluation for award will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, where the contractor offering the lowest price that meets all technical and compliance requirements will be selected, though the document also references awarding based on best value to UNCG, allowing for some flexibility. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the North Carolina Electronic Vendor Portal by the deadline, with late submissions automatically disqualified. Required documentation includes six attachments detailing pricing, vendor instructions, North Carolina general terms and conditions, customer references, worker location information, and financial condition certification. Contractors must disclose all proposed subcontractors and receive prior written approval before subcontracting any work, remain fully liable for subcontractor performance, and comply with strict organizational conflict of interest rules prohibiting any unauthorized communication regarding bid evaluation. Key personnel substitutions require written approval from UNCG, and background checks may be mandated at the vendor’s expense. Invoices must include the NC Contract Number, buyer’s order number, and fully itemized labor and material costs, with payment processed without specified electronic invoicing systems. Contractors must also certify compliance with North Carolina’s E-Verify law, non-discrimination requirements, state registration obligations, and environmental sustainability standards under G.S. 143-58.2, and report material changes in financial condition within 30 days. Acceptance of services occurs on-site at UNCG facilities, with final approval resting solely with the university’s Contract Manager.
