9.0 - Attachment H (Justification of Availability).doc

The document is a Justification of Contractor Availability Form for Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. B24004 for On Call Janitorial Services issued by HomeFront in Montana. The IFB establishes a contractor selection process where the agency will contact ranked contractors to determine their availability for unit and office/community room cleaning services. The primary selection criteria require contractors to be able to meet at the site within 1 workday and begin work within 1 workday thereafter.

The form provides a structured approach for ranking and consulting multiple contractors, with space to document six potential service providers. Each contractor's availability will be assessed when services are needed, allowing HomeFront to systematically move through the ranked list until an available contractor is found. The document suggests flexibility in contractor selection and aims to ensure responsive janitorial services are always available, with the ability to quickly engage an alternative contractor if the first-ranked provider cannot meet the project's timing requirements.
