McKinney Main Building Switchboard Replacement

Collin College is soliciting competitive sealed proposals for the McKinney Campus Main Building Switchboard Replacement project under solicitation number FY2027-CSP-069. The scope of work involves comprehensive electrical upgrades, including the removal of existing panels and switchboards and the installation of new equipment, feeders, and doors. A critical requirement of the project is the integration of the new switchboard's digital power meter into the existing Energy Management System. Because the building houses the main server room and is supported by a generator, the selected contractor must guarantee that the server room maintains continuous power throughout the entire duration of the project. The contract is a firm lump-sum all-inclusive agreement, which includes a general contingency allowance of 100,000 dollars for unforeseen conditions. Award criteria are based on a points-based evaluation system. Compliance requirements include adherence to the National Electrical Code, UL listing for all equipment, and the Davis-Bacon Act for contracts exceeding 2,000 dollars. Additionally, the contractor must comply with Texas Government Code regarding prevailing wages and cybersecurity training for personnel accessing District systems. Performance and payment bonds are required for bids meeting specific thresholds, with the performance bond required for bids of 10,000 dollars or more and payment bonds for those of 25,000 dollars or more. Proposals must be submitted by November 6, 2026, via the OpenGov portal or delivered to the CHEC office in McKinney, Texas. The contractor is responsible for all shipping and installation, including the removal of all packing debris without using owner dumpsters. Final acceptance is contingent upon a final observation to demonstrate equipment performance and the provision of an Inspection Certificate from the local authority. Payment will be processed via ACH, P-card, or electronic payment, requiring notarized AIA Documents G702 and G703 and valid waivers of liens.
