CONSTRUCTION BID REQUIREMENTS & SPECIFICATIONS
CONSTRUCTION BID REQUIREMENTS & SPECIFICATIONS
I. GENERAL
A. Information to be Submitted with Bid
The following information must be submitted in sufficient detail for BTU to determine if
Contractor meets BTU’s minimum qualifications. Failure to submit this information
shall be just cause for Contractor’s disqualification to perform work on BTU’s electric
distribution system. BTU reserves the right to ask for additional or supplemental
information to assist with BTU’s assessment of Contractor’s abilities.
1. Contractor Qualifications
In order for their Bid to be considered, Bidder (or Contractor) must demonstrate that they
are qualified to satisfactorily perform the specified work. The Contractor shall submit
written evidence of his qualifications to BTU with their Bid. Such evidence shall include
all information necessary to certify that the Contractor:
• Maintains a permanent place of business;
• Has available the qualified personnel and equipment to work on energized 7.2/12.5kV
overhead and underground distribution system in order to perform necessary work.
Contractor must provide sufficient documentation, describing qualifications of all
personnel to be dedicated to this project. Successful Bidder will move crews into the
BTU service area to commence work desired and will maintain sufficient resources
dedicated to BTU. Contractor shall not release any crews dedicated to BTU without
prior written approval from BTU.
• Has technical knowledge and practical experience in the work type specified;
• Has an on-going safety program that complies with all applicable state and federal laws;
• Has adequate financial status to meet the financial obligations incident to the work;
• Has no just or proper claims pending against him or his work; and
• Has experience with similar projects that require working in confined areas and in close
proximity to many physical features (fences, utility poles, guy lines, underground
electrical lines, cable TV, gas lines and meters, sewer manholes, sidewalks, clean-outs,
etc.) which will require the Contractor to plan his work efforts and equipment needs
with these limitations in mind.
These qualifications shall be demonstrated by providing to BTU a list of at least three (3)
other facilities of similar type and of equal or greater size and complexity constructed
within the last three (3) years. The evidence shall consist of a listing of the facilities
RFB#009-04-24 Page 4
constructed indicating the Owner’s name, location, phone number, approximate dollar
value, type of facilities, and the date of completion. This list shall include the names of
supervisors and types of equipment used to perform this work. Failure to submit this
evidence shall be just cause for disqualification of the bid.
2. Proposed Equipment and Construction Organization
Each Bidder shall also submit with his Bid pertinent information concerning proposed
equipment and construction organization.
(a) Equipment
Each Bidder shall submit all specifications or similar descriptive information
necessary to completely describe the equipment he proposes to use on this project.
(b) Contractor’s Field Organization
Each Bidder shall submit with his Bid an organizational chart showing the names
of field management, supervisory and technical personnel, and technical
organization he proposes to use for this project. Bidders shall submit a Statement
of Qualification of all personnel submitted. BTU reserves the right to select
required personnel for selected crew (crews). Statement shall also include any
license or testing status (to include current status) that verifies or substantiates
individuals’ titles.
Contractor must demonstrate that the personnel he proposes to use for any work on
BTU’s electric distribution system must be qualified to work on energized
7.2/12.47kV overhead and underground distribution systems. Contractor must
provide letter, describing qualifications of the proposed personnel to be dedicated
to this project.
3. Safety Information
As part of its bid response, each Contractor shall provide its OSHA 300a numbers for the
last 3 calendar years. If OSHA 300a numbers are unavailable for any of the last 3 calendar
years, the Contractor shall submit “N/A” for that year’s number.
This safety information must be re-submitted to BTU annually, but no later than January 1
of every year following the approval of the Contractor by BTU.
B. Additional Information
1. Local Conditions
By submitting a bid, the Contractor indicates that he has visited the Bryan Texas Utilities
service area and thoroughly and adequately informed himself of all conditions and factors
which would affect (1) the prosecution and completion of the work, (2) availability and
cost of labor, and (3) facilities for transportation, handling, and storage of materials and
equipment. By responding to this bid, it is understood and agreed that all such factors have
been properly investigated and considered by Contractor in preparation of the Bid. Where
applicable, BTU will permit no claims for financial adjustment to any contract awarded for
the work, which are based on the lack of such prior information or its effect on the cost or
completion of the work.
