BHSU Carpentry Work as Needed

Black Hills State University (BHSU) is seeking a qualified carpentry contractor to provide hourly labor for various maintenance and renovation projects across its Spearfish and Rapid City campuses. The Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits bids for carpentry work including minor maintenance, construction renovations, and miscellaneous services, with a contract term from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, and potential annual extensions for up to four additional years. Bidders must demonstrate at least five years of professional carpentry experience and provide three professional references. The proposal evaluation will consider factors such as expertise, capabilities, pricing, availability, local familiarity, and past performance. Proposals are due by 5:00 PM MST on November 15, 2022, with BHSU reserving the right to reject any or all submissions. Contractors will be responsible for providing tools and equipment, while BHSU will supply all necessary materials. The contract allows for termination by BHSU with 30 days' written notice, and no overtime rates will be permitted without explicit written authorization.

The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The contract appears to be structured as an as-needed hourly labor arrangement, with the hourly rate to be negotiated and determined through the proposal process. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract's flexible nature suggests potential variability in total project spend based on actual maintenance and renovation needs at BHSU's campuses. The geographical scope is limited to Kingsbury County, South Dakota, specifically targeting carpentry work at Black Hills State University's Spearfish and Rapid City locations. The open-ended nature of the contract implies that total expenditures will depend on the volume of carpentry work required during the one-year initial term, with potential for extension based on performance and university needs.
