PART FOUR: COUNTY SPECIFICATIONS

Project Description

The Cuyahoga County Department of Public Works Facilities Division oversees building operations, general construction and maintenance at various County buildings and outlying facilities. Often the

County requires vendor provided services to ensure continued operations and may require those vendor services within 24 hours of request or an agreed to time by the County. The County is seeking to implement a Master Contract for as-needed services to be utilized by the County Facilities Division but may also be used by other Public Works Divisions.

Purpose

The purpose of this RFQ is to qualify vendors to be included in a Master Contract that can provide required services on an as-needed basis for a contract period of two (2) years. Awards to multiple vendors will be made based on the RFQ scoring. Once vendors are selected to be added to this master contract, the following guidelines will be used throughout the term of the contract.

1. Based on business need, Public Works will utilize the vendor of convenience within any specific commodity and/or service field. Should there be multiple vendors qualified within a specialty field, Public Works may release a mini bid that will factor into the final decision, but not limited to, estimated cost and service turnaround time/availability.

As part of this RFQ, vendors should provide contact information of a primary and secondary representative. All communication will be sent to both the primary and secondary representative and documentation will be kept in the file for review by the Business Administrator, Supervisor.

The following conditions, in part, will determine continuity of the full Contract period by the

Owner. Except for causes beyond the Vendor’s control, and if the County is in concurrence with the Vendor as to the validity of these causes, the following are expected as minimum standards:

a. All services ordered and received under this Contract shall be made by an employee of the

Cuyahoga County Department of Public Works or a person with an authorized signature.

Services will be conducted during normal business hours (between 7:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M., Monday – Friday), unless otherwise specified.

b. If applicable, all service must be accompanied with a duly executed work order indicating the exact work performed and materials utilized and description.
