Description
Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA) is seeking market input on a future Master Service Agreement (MSA) for substation construction services throughout its electrical system in northeast Oklahoma. The RFI is purely informational; no pricing or formal solicitation is required at this stage. Respondents are asked to comment on labor classifications, rate structures, equipment ownership versus rental, cost‑plus material and subcontractor reimbursement, contract term, renewal options, and handling of premium‑time work. The agency will use the feedback to shape a multi‑award contract that will issue task authorizations for expansions, modifications, and terminal additions at existing substations and switching stations.
• Scope covers civil, structural, grounding, conduit, equipment installation, and testing for existing substations (no new‑site construction).
• Contractors must be capable of full‑scope substation work, including energized‑facility work, with proven experience in utility‑level electrical construction.
• GRDA expects fully‑burdened labor rates (including routine travel) and cost‑plus reimbursement for equipment, materials, and subcontractors, with detailed documentation and audit rights.
• An in‑person industry engagement meeting is scheduled for 15 Oct 2026; questions are to be submitted by 19 Oct 2026, and responses are due by 20 Oct 2026.
