BACKGROUND
Cook Inlet Housing Authority (CIHA) is a quasi-public, not for profit organization recognized as a
Regional Housing Authority, operating for approximately 51 years in compliance with federal,
state, and local requirements. CIHA was established on December 17, 1974, as a Regional
Housing Authority under Alaska Statute 18.55.996 to ensure that elders, individuals and families
in the 45,168 square-mile area of Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI) have access to safe, quality, and
affordable housing. We promote our mission and live our core values through CIHA's business
activities, which include the privilege of weatherizing and rehabilitating multifamily and single-
family dwellings under multiple grant and funding sources for the past 17 years. These projects
have and continue to address critical housing needs by focusing on health safety, energy
Electrical Installation & Repair Services
efficiency, and home improvements, ensuring long-term safety and habitability for vulnerable
households. CIHA’s ability to manage complex scopes of work, maintain compliance with state
and federal guidelines, and deliver high-quality outcomes positions the organization as a proven
leader in residential construction and rehabilitation.
CONTRACT TERM
Award of a professional services contract for the specified work will include an initial three (3) year
term with an option to extend for two (2) additional one (1) year terms based on available
funding, satisfactory performance, agreed upon pricing and mutual consent. The yearly contract
shall be automatically renewed for one (1) year unless either party gives written notice of thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration thereof. The cost portion of your proposal submitted should
include the initial three (3) year term and the extension option years.
SCOPE OF WORK
1. CIHA personnel will conduct comprehensive building science, building energy efficiency,
and weatherization assessments on mobile homes, single-family homes, and multi-family
residential buildings. Multi-family buildings range from duplex buildings up to 120-unit
apartment buildings.
After the initial assessment is complete, written work scopes of potential building
improvements are drafted by CIHA. Work scopes may include building envelopes,
improvements, occupant safety improvements, environmental hazards remediation,
mechanical improvements, electrical improvements, and especially energy efficiency
improvements. CIHA will deliver to the Contractor Proposed Work Agreement stating the
intended scope of repair or replacement improvements for all upgrades. Proposed Work
Agreements give general direction regarding the nature of the installation and repaid tasks
required. For example, such work scopes could be: “install a new exhaust fan in the
crawlspace along with required wiring, junction boxes, and electrical controls; “or “install
all wiring, conduit, junction boxes, etc. required to power and control a new boiler installed
by others.” The Contractor must then visit the specified building within three (3) working
days to survey first-hand the intended work scope. The Contractor shall then provide
CIHA’s Senior Manager, Construction and Residential Rehabilitation, a cost quotation of
materials, equipment, testing, labor, permits, etc., work scope that will best accomplish the
intended improvement(s).
2. The Contractor’s quote shall include specific make and model of major equipment, parts,
and other materials to be included and the respective costs of each. Non-major repair
materials may be lumped together as one unit. Generally, major equipment and parts cost
$500 or more or are singularly crucial to the complete system’s performance. An example
of major materials to be used would include environmental air exhaust fans, controller(s)
for such fans, lighting fixtures, light bulbs, service panels, motors, etc. An example of non-
major materials could be electric cable, outlet boxes, receptacles, conduits, sealants and
caulks, and so on. The Contractor shall also separately list: hourly labor costs, permit fees,
inspection fees, and shipping costs, but may aggregate each category if more than
singular. For example, several inspection fees may be aggregated and a single “Inspection
Fees” listed. The Contractor may lump and list other costs such as copying, mail, etc.,
together and listed as “Administrative Costs” if not already included as part of material or
labor costs. Together, all costs listed shall constitute the whole and total cost for the work
required. The separate listing of materials, labor, shipping costs, and so on provides CIHA
Electrical Installation & Repair Services
with a general history of the expenses. CIHA can then estimate future projects to
determine the general magnitude of project costs. In turn, budgeting for the program’s life
and number of dwellings to be served can be more accurately forecasted, resulting in
better service to the community and the Contractors servicing this program.
In addition to costs, the quote shall also estimate and list the number of days and/or hours
anticipated to complete the quoted work, from arrival time on-site to time of final departure.
CIHA will pass this information on to homeowners to prepare their schedules to be home
while the work is being done. It is understood that estimated workdays are just that
estimated, especially considering the unpredictable nature of retrofit work. This quote shall
be provided to CIHA within one (1) working day after the site visit unless CIHA grants an
extension. Waiting for cost and shipping information for materials/equipment not available
locally could be a reason for an extension. Cost quotes shall remain fixed for a minimum
of 30 days following submittal to CIHA.
3. The Contractor shall not limit their proposed replacement equipment/materials to only the
makes and models of equipment the Contractor sells or represents. The Contractor is
encouraged to offer alternative equipment, materials, and solutions to the work CIHA
prescribed if, in the Contractor's opinion, a safer, quicker, and less expensive or equal
alternative is available.
4. CIHA will review the Contractor's proposed work scope and cost quote. If acceptable,
CIHA will then deliver a Perform Work Agreement to the Contractor. If the Contractor’s
work proposal is not agreeable to CIHA, CIHA shall be free to request additional quotes
for the proposed work from other Contractors. The Perform Work Agreement will describe
the final work scope and materials. The Perform Work Agreement shall include the
Contractor's written quote, even when not directly written into the Perform Work
Agreement. Upon receiving the Perform Work Agreement from CIHA, the Contractor must
sign and return the agreement to CIHA within one (1) working day. If CIHA does not receive
a signed Work Agreement within the specified time, CIHA shall be free to offer the work to
any other Contractor. The signed Perform Work Agreement shall become a contract for
the duration of that project only. The Contractor shall commence work within three (3)
working days of receiving a signed Work Agreement from CIHA – typically sent by email
or Fax. The Contractor is obligated to notify CIHA when materials or equipment cannot be
obtained, and the work cannot be started within the specified three (3) working days.
5. Generally, the electrical equipment and parts most likely to require the Contractor’s
purchase, installation, or service will include:
a. Wiring and Controls: such as for oil or gas-fired boilers, furnaces, water heaters,
unit heaters, and related equipment; kitchen ranges and clothes dryers (domestic
appliances are generally purchased and delivered to the site by CIHA); pumps,
fans, outlet boxes, devices such as receptacles and circuit breakers, etc.
b. Installation of Equipment and Fixtures: such as luminaires, environmental air and
ventilation equipment, service panels, meter bases, conduits and cable trays,
service masts, ground rods, etc.
c. Troubleshooting and/or Testing of Electrical Systems and/or Equipment
6. The Contractor shall not be required to inspect and bid on, repair, or replace equipment
or system parts beyond the equipment and other integral parts designated to be repaired
or replaced. For example, if a ventilation fan is installed and wired to an existing wall outlet
box and switch and the Contractor is not required to repair those deficiencies. However,
