The City of Yonkers Purchasing Department is seeking bids for a 12-month contract (Bid No. RFB-7469) to provide on-call plumbing maintenance and repairs for various city government buildings, with an option to renew for an additional 12 months. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bids (IFB) with a bid opening scheduled for June 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM, to be submitted to the Purchasing Office at One Larkin Center, 3rd Floor.

Bidders must demonstrate at least five years of experience in plumbing maintenance and repairs, provide a 24-hour central telephone or paging service, and offer a fixed hourly rate for different labor classifications with a markup on materials not exceeding 10%. Key requirements include emergency response within one hour, routine service within 24 hours, and submission of detailed work tickets for each service performed.

The contract does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with various local, state, and federal regulations, including prevailing wage requirements, workers' compensation, and disability benefits laws. Vendors will be required to provide comprehensive insurance documentation and maintain proper licensing. The contract necessitates that the successful bidder supply all necessary equipment for performing the plumbing maintenance and repairs. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the estimated work includes 1,000 hours of labor and $5,000 in materials, suggesting a potential contract value in the range of $100,000 to $150,000 depending on hourly rates and material costs.
