Electrical Services

Louisville Metro Government is soliciting electrical services under RFP270016 to establish a one-year contract with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year periods, allowing for a potential total term of five years. The scope includes repairs, maintenance, and small-scale renovations to electrical systems at government facilities, covering installations, circuit additions, and fixture repairs beyond the metering device. Contractors must provide all labor, materials, and equipment under a Not-To-Exceed annual unit price structure, with billing limited strictly to hourly rates for Master Electrician, Skilled Laborer, and Unskilled Laborer roles, excluding mileage, travel time, or truck charges. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bonfire portal by August 11, 2026, and include detailed vendor information, qualifications, price submissions, good faith efforts to utilize minority, female, and handicapped-owned businesses, and compliance certifications. Evaluation is based on a trade-off method, prioritizing Qualifications and Experience (40 points each) over Price (20 points), with award determined by overall advantage to the government rather than lowest cost alone. Contractors must comply with NFPA 70, NEC, NEMA, UL, OSHA, KRS Chapter 338, ADA-ABA, and ICC/ANSI A117.1 standards, and are subject to on-site inspections by Louisville Metro Government before final acceptance. Performance demands a one-day response time to service requests and the ability to manage concurrent projects. Subcontracting requires submission of Form GFE-1 and adherence to minimum utilization targets of 15% for minority-owned, 5% for female-owned, and 0.5% for handicapped-owned businesses. Contractors must furnish performance and payment bonds at award and maintain current certifications for all personnel, with Metro retaining the right to remove incompetent workers. Invoicing must be submitted electronically to invoices.omb@louisvilleky.gov or by mail to the Accounts Payable office and must include PO/contract numbers, vendor details, and proper documentation, with failure to comply risking non-payment. The contract prohibits contingent pricing, requires FOB Delivered terms, and explicitly bars substitutions except under documented necessity with prior written approval. All vendors must hold a Unique Entity Identifier, submit a certified W-9, and affirm compliance with local vendor and minimum wage requirements, with false certifications triggering penalties of up to 30% or 25% of contract value respectively.
