Request for Information (RFI) for On-Call Civil Service Construction IFB

Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to plan for a multi-year, on-call civil construction services arrangement in Alameda, California. The agency intends to establish a pool of up to three qualified contractors to support routine, planned, and emergency utility needs. The scope of work includes trenching, potholing, excavation, backfill, and surface restoration, as well as the installation and repair of underground electric and fiber conduits, conduit risers, utility boxes, vaults, traffic-rated lids, equipment pads, and protective bollards. All work must adhere to City requirements, applicable permits, and AMP's Materials and Installation Criteria for Underground Systems. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or an offer for a contract award. AMP is considering a five-year contract structure featuring baseline pricing for the first year with annual percentage adjustments for subsequent years. Contractors will be responsible for providing all labor, equipment, materials, and traffic control, while coordinating field activities and inspections with AMP representatives. Work will be issued on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum quantity or dollar amount. Interested parties must submit their responses via the online supplier portal by October 30, 2026, using the provided questionnaire and limiting their response to approximately five pages.
