The existing 12.47 KV underground system dates from the original construction of the campus. Timely completion of the engineering effort and development of the sequence of construction will be critical to minimize the impact of required electrical utility outages on University operations.
The scope includes preparation of documents for bid solicitation and construction observation. The scope may be implemented in phases. The initial design and engineering effort is contemplated for 2013, followed by construction in 2013-14.

Proposals should include a complete description of the history, size and capabilities of the submitting firm and a list of projects which demonstrate the firm's level of experience. For each project indicate a knowledgeable reference (name, address and telephone number). As a part of the submission, each team member must include a copy of their CDB Pre-qualification Certificate and a copy of their CDB 255 form.
Please submit five (5) copies of a letter of interest and statement of qualifications to Mr. Richard Walker, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Administration, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Campus Box 1158, Edwardsville, IL 62026-1158 or delivered to Rendleman Hall, Room 2228.
