Ceiling repairs at state surplus building, 144 clinton ST, concord, NH

The State of New Hampshire's Department of Administrative Services, Bureau of Purchase and Property, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) 2024-399 for ceiling repairs at the State Surplus Building located at 144 Clinton Street in Concord, Merrimack County. The procurement seeks vendors with expertise in ceiling and roof repairs to address water entry damage and related issues in a 1,706 sq ft area. Key objectives include identifying the source of water infiltration, estimating repair costs, and developing a comprehensive solution that encompasses mold remediation and installation of new 2'x2' ceiling tiles. The RFI requires respondents to provide a detailed summary of their business experience, proposed solutions, and pricing for the repair work. A site visit was scheduled for January 24, 2024, between 8:00 AM and 2:30 PM EST, with the last day for questions and clarifications set for January 29, 2024. The original bid opening date was modified through Addendum 2, extending the deadline to February 9, 2024, at 11:00 AM EST. Vendors are expected to follow state building codes and industry standards throughout the project.

However, the procurement process took an unexpected turn with Addendum 3, which completely cancelled the original RFI 2024-399 in its entirety. No specific information was provided about set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise participation, or incumbent vendors. The cancellation notice directs potential vendors to the state's procurement website for future updates and potential rebidding. While the initial RFI suggested the work would be performed during limited business hours, potentially when the retail store is closed prior to a Spring Auction, the subsequent cancellation leaves the procurement status uncertain. No specific budget range or award value was disclosed in the available documentation. Interested vendors are advised to monitor the state's procurement resources for any potential reissuance of the ceiling repair project or alternative procurement methods.
