Panel of Electrical Utility Maintenance, Urgent Repairs and Construction Work at Various City Locations on an as-needed basis

The City of Riverside’s Public Utilities Energy Delivery Division is establishing a five‑year Master Services Agreement panel for electrical‑utility maintenance, urgent repairs, and construction work on an as‑needed basis throughout the city. Qualified contractors will be pre‑qualified now and later invited to bid on individual “Specific Construction Project” contracts (each ≤ $950,000) as work arises, including emergency mobilizations. The panel requires a Class A or C‑10 contractor license, DIR registration, and the ability to provide Qualified Electrical Workers for high‑voltage tasks. Contractors must submit qualifications, experience questionnaires, cost rate sheets, and required bonds/insurance through the PlanetBids portal by the July 6 deadline. • Scope covers underground structures, street‑lighting, overhead and underground electric facilities, substation construction, control‑system installation, inspections, pole reinforcement, meter work, and emergency repairs. • Minimum five‑year experience, CSLB license, and compliance with extensive insurance, bonding, and safety requirements. • Each awarded project will be competitively bid to the lowest responsive panel member; the master agreement runs for five years with possible one‑year extensions. • Submissions are electronic only; a 10 % bid bond, performance and payment bonds (100 % of contract price), and full insurance packages must accompany the proposal.
