The New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), specifically the Western DDSOO, is soliciting sealed bids for Interior Painting Services across six counties: Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, and Orleans. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) seeking qualified contractors to perform comprehensive interior painting services at multiple residential and program sites. Specific services include wall and ceiling painting, door and trim painting, and wallpaper removal, with pricing requested on a per square foot and per linear foot basis. Contractors must provide detailed pricing for both residential and commercial locations, with annual price adjustments up to 3% allowed. The contract is scheduled for a five-year term from 2020-2025, with an anticipated start date of June 1, 2020. Bidders must demonstrate references, experience, financial resources, and appropriate insurances. The bid was due on March 11, 2020, at 2:00 PM, and the contract will be awarded to the most responsible and responsive bidder offering the lowest total annual estimated combined cost per county. Prevailing wage requirements will apply, and contractors must submit certified payrolls.

The contract opportunity includes specific subcontracting goals, with a 17% Minority Owned Sub-Contracting Goal and a 13% Women Owned Sub-Contracting Goal. This is not a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Set Aside contract. Bidders must complete a Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire and comply with New York State procurement requirements, including minority and women-owned business enterprise (MWBE) utilization provisions. Contractors will be required to provide comprehensive insurance coverage and meet equal employment opportunity provisions. While no specific incumbent vendor is prominently mentioned, a cancellation letter indicates that Property Services of WNY, Inc. was initially involved in the procurement process before the contract was canceled. The precise award value is not explicitly stated, but bidders are required to provide detailed pricing per square foot and linear foot for painting services across the six counties. The contract allows for potential multiple awards, suggesting flexibility in vendor selection based on county-specific pricing and capabilities.
