Boiler Preventative Maintenance and Service

The Nevada Department of Corrections is soliciting proposals for Preventative Maintenance and Service for Boilers at ten correctional facilities statewide, including Ely State Prison, Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center, High Desert State Prison, Lovelock Correctional Center, Northern Nevada Correctional Center, Northern Nevada Transitional Housing, Pioche Conservation Camp, Southern Desert Correctional Center, Three Lakes Valley Conservation Camp, and Warm Springs Correctional Center. The solicitation, numbered 44DOC-S3755, was posted on May 12, 2026, with a proposal due date of May 29, 2026, and requires all proposals to be submitted electronically through the NevadaEPro procurement system. Services must include CSD-1 boiler inspections, preventative maintenance, and repairs in compliance with Nevada Revised Statute 455C and Nevada Boiler Code across multiple boiler types including Victory, Lochinvar, Bryan, ManBurnham, RBI, Burnham, and Knight models. Vendors must hold a current C1-A Boiler license from the Nevada Contractor's Board, provide detailed itemized lists of preventative maintenance services with specified frequencies for each facility, and establish standard hourly repair rates for routine services during business hours as well as emergency repair rates for after-hours and weekend calls, with proposals required to include response times, minimum service hour charges, trip charges, and material markups. All personnel must complete background clearance requirements including background checks and PREA questionnaires, and no ex-felons may work at facilities; services must be scheduled with minimum seven days' notice and performed between 7:00 AM and 3:30 PM, with mandatory site visits required before proposal submission and service reports mandated upon completion. The reference questionnaire, due by May 28, 2026, requires vendors to provide client references evaluated on a 0-10 scale across thirteen performance categories including knowledge and expertise, flexibility, quality of materials, staff dynamics, timeliness, customer service responsiveness, billing accuracy, and problem resolution capabilities.

The solicitation documents do not specify set-aside designations for minority-owned, women-owned, or other designated business enterprises, though the RFP notes that such considerations may apply under Nevada procurement regulations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials; however, the scope of work indicates that services are currently funded for three facilities—High Desert State Prison, Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center, and Northern Nevada Therapeutic Community—with the department's intent to expand to additional facilities as funding becomes available. Vendors must comply with all federal and state procurement laws, including civil rights legislation, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Davis-Bacon Act, and must execute a standard form contract that becomes effective only upon approval by the Nevada State Board of Examiners. The specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available solicitation documents; however, cost proposals are required to include annual contract totals for fiscal years 2027 through 2030 (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2030), with the state reserving the right to reject any or all responses and award contracts based on the proposal that best meets state needs and evaluation criteria. Contract termination may occur without cause with 30 days' notice, and the State typically processes invoice payments within 45 to 60 days of receipt following review and acceptance.
