The contract term is one year with options for four additional one-year renewals. Services cover main campus facilities and university-controlled electrical infrastructure. A mandatory site visit will be scheduled by addendum. Proposals are due July 27, 2026, and must be submitted electronically. The goal is to improve uptime, reduce reactive failures, and create reliable electrical asset data. The contractor must provide recurring service capacity, accountable response, clear documentation, and cost controls. Core outcomes include reducing unplanned electrical outages, creating and maintaining useful electrical asset records, completing planned maintenance, and responding to urgent electrical conditions. The scope includes preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, emergency response, electrical testing, minor repairs, and support for generators, UPS, and power quality issues. Excluded services include technology systems outside electrical power distribution, telecommunications, data networks, and major capital projects. Compliance with federal, state, local, and university requirements, including OSHA, NEC, and NFPA standards, is mandatory. The contractor is responsible for safety, including providing a site-specific safety plan, using qualified workers, lockout/tagout procedures, and appropriate PPE. Utility coordination and protection are critical. Contractor qualifications include at least five years of relevant experience, a current Alabama electrical contractor license, and demonstrated medium/high voltage capacity. The proposal must include a staffing and service delivery plan, work order management, and reporting. Response standards and SLAs are defined, with potential for service credits for non-compliance. A minimum two-year warranty on workmanship and materials is required. Invoices are submitted monthly with required backup. Quality control is essential, and the university reserves the right to terminate the contract for various reasons.
Proposal due date is July 27, 2026.
Invoices shall be submitted monthly unless the university directs otherwise. The university may reject invoices that lack required backup. Rejected invoices shall not be considered payable until corrected.
The contractor warrants all high and low-voltage electrical work to be free from defects and performed safely and professionally. A minimum two-year written warranty from completion covering all electrical work, including repairs, installations, terminations, controls, and component replacements, is required.
Evaluation criteria include technical team and certifications (20 points), service plan and PM approach (15 points), emergency response depth (15 points), safety record and electrical safety program (15 points), institutional or campus experience (10 points), reporting, CMMS, and data quality (10 points), and price and value (15 points).

Requirements include at least five years of relevant experience, a current Alabama electrical contractor license, medium/high voltage capacity, testing capacity, 24/7 emergency response, and at least five references for similar work.
Failure to meet service requirements may result in service credits, payment hold, cure notice, nonrenewal, or termination. For missed emergency response time, a 5% credit on labor for that work order may apply. For missed urgent response time, a 3% credit on labor may apply.
A mandatory site visit will be scheduled by addendum.
The university may terminate the contract immediately, or after a stated cure period, if the contractor fails to meet performance, response, or quality requirements; fails to maintain staffing, qualifications, licenses, or insurance; violates safety requirements; fails to respond to emergencies; performs unsafe or defective work; submits false documentation; or becomes insolvent.
