Request for Qualification for General Engineering Contractor for Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Utility 66/12 KV Substation Project

The City of Rancho Cucamonga is seeking a qualified General Engineering Contractor to design‑build a new 66 kV/12 kV, 50 MW substation that will serve the city’s southeast utility area. The contract is a two‑step process: first, firms submit a pre‑qualification (RFQUAL) to demonstrate licensing, bonding, safety, and recent substation experience; the three highest‑scoring firms will then be invited to submit a priced RFP. The scope includes civil/structural works, high‑voltage equipment supply and installation, fiber‑optic tie‑line, control house, grounding, and full commissioning, with a required completion date of 31 Dec 2028. • Must hold a valid California Class A General Engineering contractor license and be registered with the DIR Public‑Works system. • Must provide audited financial statements, bonding capacity, and extensive insurance (workers’ comp, general liability, professional liability, etc.). • Must demonstrate recent EPC experience on 66 kV/12 kV substations (three projects within the last seven years) and an acceptable safety/labor‑law record.
