Description
The City of Richland is seeking prequalification applications from electrical utility contractors for the 2026 prequalified electrical contract list period. The prequalification process is required by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 35.92.350 for all contractors interested in bidding on construction or improvements related to electrical utility work for the City of Richland's Energy Services Department. The application requires contractors to provide information on their experience, organization, technical qualifications, financial resources, and safety record. The prequalification list will be used to select contractors for future projects.
• The prequalification application includes a detailed questionnaire and requires the submission of various documents, such as a copy of the contractor's Washington State Registration certificate, a letter from the bonding company, and financial statements.
• The application also requires contractors to provide information on their safety record, including their Experience Modification Rate (EMR) and the number of non-disabling accidents, fatalities, and lost workday accidents.
• Contractors must also provide a list of available equipment and vehicles to perform the work.
• The prequalification list will be established by November 5, 2025, and contractors approved for 2026 will need to reapply in October 2026 to remain prequalified for 2027.
