Description
This solicitation called for a power‑factor correction project at the Sedgwick County Adult Detention Facility. The work required engineering, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of capacitor banks and related control equipment, with compliance to Davis‑Bacon, Copeland anti‑kickback, EPA recovered‑materials, and Buy‑America requirements. The procurement was conducted as a full and open competition with a lump‑sum bid format; bidders had to provide a 5 % bid security and, if awarded, a 100 % performance bond. Despite receiving multiple bids, the County ultimately rejected all proposals and did not award the contract.

• Procurement: open competition, mandatory Davis‑Bacon and other federal labor clauses, bid security 5 % of total bid, performance bond 100 % of contract sum.
