25-006: Musical Instrument Repair - Strings

The Greece Central School District is seeking musical instrument repair services for string instruments district-wide through Request for Quotation (RFQ) #25-006, covering multiple schools including Arcadia High School, Arcadia Middle School, and Athena Middle School. The procurement opportunity focuses on comprehensive repair and maintenance of string instruments such as cellos, violins, violas, and string basses, with detailed requirements for repairing specific instrument components including bridges, fingerboards, tuning pegs, and overall playing condition restoration. The contract period will run from August 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with potential extensions for two additional one-year periods. Vendors must submit quotes by July 29, 2025, directly to Christine Viegas via email at christine.viegas@greececsd.org, and are expected to provide labor and materials for repairs. Key qualifications include maintaining an online repair tracking database, providing monthly reports, offering a one-year warranty on services, and demonstrating capabilities across various repair categories with precise line-item pricing for different instrument maintenance tasks.

The RFQ does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but requires contractors to comply with New York State labor laws and safety standards. Contractors must carry appropriate insurance and be prepared to provide professional references and demonstrate parts availability. The district reserves the right to adjust the instrument inventory by approximately 5% annually, suggesting flexibility in contract scope. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the pricing form provides an extensive matrix for repair costs across multiple instrument types and sizes, allowing for precise cost estimation. Contractors will be expected to handle emergency, routine, and overhaul service calls with specified response times, and must ensure comprehensive documentation of all repair work. The procurement appears open to qualified musical instrument repair specialists with demonstrated expertise in string instrument maintenance and restoration.
