RFB No. 27-0012 Electrical Fixtures, Parts and Supplies

The Columbus Consolidated Government has issued Request for Bids No. 27-0012 for the procurement of various electrical fixtures, parts, and supplies on an as-needed basis. This annual contract is set for an initial two-year term with the option to renew for three additional twelve-month periods. A critical requirement for the successful bidder is that they must maintain a business location within Muscogee County, Georgia, and provide on-site personnel to accommodate walk-in purchases by City employees. Additionally, vendors are required to keep 80% of the listed electrical items in stock to ensure immediate availability. Bids must be submitted electronically through the OpenBids portal by the deadline of October 28, 2026. The award will be granted to responsive and responsible bidders, with a specific preference for local businesses. The contract is governed by the laws of Georgia and includes standard payment terms of net 30 days. Bidders must complete several required forms, including a 22-page pricing spreadsheet, a conflict of interest affidavit, and federal compliance documentation. For construction-related contracts exceeding $50,000, performance and payment bonds are required. All shipping and freight charges must be included in the quoted unit costs, as the City will not pay additional delivery fees.
