Install Move RFQ Final.xlsx

This file is a Request for Quote (RFQ) form issued by the State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services for installation and moving services to be provided to state agencies, boards, and commissions. The form serves as a standardized template for soliciting vendor quotes on furniture installation, office reconfiguration, and moving services, with particular focus on service delivery in Lincoln and Omaha. The RFQ requires vendors to provide detailed descriptions of work, itemized lists of furniture and materials with quantities and per-unit costs, and total project costs. Critical procurement dates include a written questions deadline of January 19, 2026, an electronic proposal submission deadline of February 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, and a planned contract award and start date of March 2, 2026. The initial contract term spans four years with options for two additional two-year renewal periods, providing vendors with extended service opportunities pending satisfactory performance.

Vendor qualifications require a minimum of two years in business, at least five full-time employees, and specialized training certifications in specific office furniture brands including Knoll, Krueger International, and Neutral Posture. Pricing submissions must include hourly rates for both installation and moving services across the initial four-year contract term and potential renewal periods, with annual price increases capped at five percent and requiring 120 days' written notice prior to implementation. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation with $2,000,000 general aggregate limits and Commercial General Liability protection. Background checks conducted by the Nebraska State Patrol are mandatory for all employees accessing state facilities, with potential disqualification based on specified criminal backgrounds. The state reserves the right to award contracts to multiple vendors and make purchases on an item-by-item or total order basis, and may terminate contracts for convenience with 30 days' notice. No specific set-asides exist for small businesses, though resident disabled veterans or enterprises in designated zones may receive preference if other evaluation factors are equivalent. The contract is contingent upon legislative appropriation of required funds.
