Commercial & Residential Appliances – Repairs, Maintenance, Installations, and Emergency Response

Mt. San Antonio College is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQual #2025-194) for on-call commercial and residential appliance services covering installation, repair, maintenance, and emergency response for the five-year period from September 2025 through August 2030. The college seeks qualified contractors to provide comprehensive services for appliances including ovens, refrigerators, washers, dryers, and kitchen equipment, with all work requiring compliance with OSHA regulations and manufacturer specifications. Contractors must be capable of delivering 24/7 emergency response services, preventive maintenance, new installations, and repairs on an as-needed basis. Evaluation will be conducted using a three-stage process with scoring across six criteria: completeness of proposal (10 points), proposer experience (30 points), references (10 points), staffing and organization (10 points), proposed fees (25 points), and appropriate professional licenses and permits (15 points). Proposals must be submitted electronically via OpenGov by July 30, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for June 26, 2025, at 1:30 pm. The college reserves the right to award one or more contracts and to select firms for an on-call list from which work will be assigned through individual Project Assignment Agreements.

Contractors must comply with California prevailing wage requirements and Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registration mandates, with strict penalties of $50 per day per worker for non-compliance. Insurance requirements include Workers' Compensation, Comprehensive Commercial General Liability with a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and Comprehensive Automobile Liability Insurance with a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence; projects exceeding $25,000 require Performance and Payment Bonds. Payment terms are net 30 days upon satisfactory completion and acceptance of work, with invoicing required for reimbursement. The contract is contingent upon funding availability, and no minimum amount of work is guaranteed to any selected contractor. The initial five-year term may be subject to automatic renewals for additional one-year periods, not to exceed a cumulative total of five years. The procurement documents do not specify a particular set-aside designation for disadvantaged enterprises, nor do they identify incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges for this on-call services contract.
