Tunbridge Town Office Lighting Upgrade

The Tunbridge Town Office Building lighting upgrade project, solicited under number 73951, requires the complete replacement of all existing T8 fluorescent, CFL, and incandescent fixtures with DLC v5.1+ qualified LED lighting, including installation of dual-technology occupancy sensors, NEC-compliant electrical work, and proper disposal of removed materials. The work must be performed at 271 VT-110, Tunbridge, VT, and completed by December 31, 2026, with all activities conducted within standard weekday hours from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Bidders must have visited the site, reviewed all scope documents, and submitted a single PDF proposal labeled “Sealed Bid - TUNBRIDGE_LIGHTING” by 5:00 p.m. EST on August 5, 2026, to hfalconer@trorc.org. The proposal must include a technical understanding statement, key staff details, project schedule, insurance certificate, SOV SOS documentation, and a completed bid form with the total contract price stated in words, as the award will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, requiring full compliance with mandatory technical standards such as 120 lumens per watt efficacy, CRI of at least 80, a 5-year manufacturer warranty, 0–10V dimming capability, and power factor above 0.90. Work must conform to Vermont Division for Historic Preservation guidelines, local zoning, and fire safety codes, with all plans and records becoming the exclusive property of the Town. Contractors must be registered with the Vermont Secretary of State, hold comprehensive insurance naming the Town and State of Vermont as additional insureds, and indemnify the Town against liabilities arising from their performance. Payment will be administered by the Town’s grant manager using EJCDC C-620 forms on a monthly basis, with final payment tied to project acceptance, and all changes require a written change order. No Davis Bacon or BABA provisions apply, as funding comes from the SOV MERP Implementation Grant through the Vermont Department of Building and General Services, and contractors must use the Town’s sales tax exemption certificate for eligible materials. Any subcontracting requires prior written approval, and failure to comply with operational conduct, safety regulations, or certification requirements may result in bid rejection or contract default.
