Electrical Repairs and Installation Services

The City of Palm Springs is soliciting bids for two separate electrical services contracts under IFB 26-16, one for installation services and another for repair services, both targeting commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities within the city. Bidders must hold a valid Class C10 Electrical Contractor License and demonstrate at least three years of relevant non-residential electrical experience. Proposals must be submitted via the PlanetBids portal by August 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM PST, and must include required attachments such as the Non-Collusion Affidavit, Payment and Performance Bonds, Executive Order N-6-22 Certification, Fleet Compliance Certification, and three professional references. The award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the cumulative total of all bid schedule line items. Work includes on-call emergency and routine electrical services across all city facilities, requiring 24-hour emergency response, 48-hour response to non-emergency requests, weekly progress reporting, certified payroll submissions, and compliance with NECA standards, California labor codes, and historic preservation guidelines. The installation contract has an initial one-year term with four one-year renewal options, while the repair contract has an initial three-year term with two one-year renewal options. All work must be performed at city facilities located at 3200 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262, with inspections and acceptance occurring on-site. Invoices must be submitted via email to pwbilling@palmspringsca.gov, itemized with purchase order numbers and supporting documentation, and payment is subject to City Council appropriation. Contractors are responsible for all labor, materials, tools, and equipment and must maintain appropriate insurance coverage throughout the term. Unit pricing for labor rates and markup percentages is required in the bid schedules, but no specific budget amount or estimated contract value is disclosed. Compliance with DIR regulations, safety standards, and environmental requirements, including adherence to Executive Order N-6-22, is mandatory, and failure to provide required certifications or meet responsiveness criteria will result in bid rejection.
