Section 1 - PROJECT DETAILS

A. BACKGROUND:

The City is seeking qualifications for commercial pedestrian door repair, replacement, installation, inspection, preventive maintenance, and emergency repair/replacement services.

The City seeks to establish a group of qualified on-call contractors to provide these services on a continuing on-call basis.

B. WORK ISSUANCE:

The City anticipates awarding a two (2) year contract (with an option to renew for one additional year at the City’s sole discretion) to multiple contractors, with work issued on an as-needed basis. The contractors’ compensation will vary depending upon the number of contracts awarded. No minimum amount of work is guaranteed. The City’s anticipated budget for all services combined is $100,000 per year.

When services are needed, documents describing the nature of the work will be issued to the pool of on-call contractors for preparation of quotes. The selected on-call contractor will receive a Work Order specifying a scope of work, cost, and timing expectations as the need arises.

A Performance and Payment Bond shall be furnished covering all Work Orders performed hereunder. An initial bond in the amount of $100,000.00 shall be provided at the time of contract execution. In the event the dollar amount of Work to be performed exceeds this amount on any given Work Order, the Contractor shall provide properly executed bond Change Riders, in the amount(s) not less than 100% of all Work Orders issued.

The City aims to ensure that work is distributed equitably among all awarded contractors during the term of the contract. It is anticipated that work will be assigned on a rotational basis, and/or by requesting quotes from all contractors for work that is over a specific project cost threshold. For emergency services, work will be distributed on a rotational basis based on the contractor’s immediate availability and spend capacity remaining on their on-call contract, regardless of project cost. The City reserves the right to request quotes or services from multiple contractors, or from a single contractor, based on the City’s need.

INTERPRETATIONS GIVEN BY OR TO ANYONE. It shall be conclusively presumed that the respondent did, before submitting a response, closely review the RFQ, all exhibits/attachments, and other items relevant to the RFQ.

The instructions contained within are not intended to completely define the proposed contractual relationship between the City and the successful respondent.

If applicable, prior to submitting a response, the respondent must disclose to the City RFQ Designated Contact any and all current or potential conflicts of interest, including transactions, activities, or conduct that would affect the judgment, actions, or work of the respondent by placing the respondent’s own interests, or the interest of any party with whom the respondent has a contractual arrangement, in conflict with those of the City. The respondent should contact the City RFQ Designated Contact with any questions regarding what may constitute a conflict. The City, in its sole discretion, shall determine the existence of a conflict of interest and may disqualify responses in the event such a conflict exists.

If it is later determined that the respondent knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the City, the City may terminate the contract resulting from this RFQ for default;

termination for default may result in additional charges being levied for the costs incurred by the City to initiate activities to replace the awarded contractor.

No rights to provide goods or services shall arise unless and until the awarded contract is signed by the City and approved by ordinance/resolution, if applicable. Failure to comply with any of the requirements to execute the contract within 10 days of the City’s request shall be just cause for the annulment of the award. Award may then be issued to the next qualified respondent, or work may be readvertised, or may otherwise be handled at the City’s sole discretion.
