The East Islip Union Free School District in Suffolk County, New York, is soliciting sealed bids (Bid #052825-1) for window treatment installation and repair services across its facilities. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor with a minimum of 5 years of continuous experience to provide on-call maintenance, replacement, and new installation of window treatments, including roller shades, vertical and horizontal blinds. A mandatory pre-bid site walkthrough is scheduled for May 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with sealed bids to be publicly opened on May 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The contract will run for one year from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with potential for two additional one-year extensions. Key requirements include emergency repairs within two hours, use of up-to-date materials, and compliance with prevailing wage rates. Pricing will be based on hourly rates for foremen, mechanics, and helpers/apprentices, with overtime calculated at 1.5x straight time, and reimbursement for parts and materials at a percentage markup.

The bid does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide comprehensive documentation, including references, insurance certificates, and various certifications. The district will be using recently installed Draper SB900 Opaque Vinyl Fire Resistant Manual Techmatic Clutch Roller Shades in ivory, suggesting potential integration requirements for new window treatment installations.
