CONTRACT: CARPENTRY SERVICES, PROJECTS UNDER $25, 000. 00

The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services is seeking carpentry services for projects under $25,000 across all ten counties in the state through Request for Bid #3009-25. The procurement will establish multiple contract awards for carpentry services including demolition, repair, and replacement of building components such as walls, flooring, ceilings, cabinetry, and acoustical systems, along with finishing work like patching, caulking, painting, and tile installation. Contractors will be required to provide hourly rates for standard business hours, after-hours work, weekend rates, and holiday rates, with up to three vendors to be awarded per county based on lowest hourly rates. The contract term will span five years from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, with a potential two-year extension option. Bid responses are due on March 12, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, with vendor questions required to be submitted by February 28, 2025. Pricing must comprehensively include labor, tools, transportation, materials, equipment, and permits, with material and subcontractor markups limited to 10%. The procurement covers approximately 216 buildings across New Hampshire, with county building counts ranging from 4 in Sullivan County to 74 in Merrimack County.

The solicitation allows vendors to bid on one or multiple counties within their service area, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned. Political subdivisions and nonprofit agencies under section 501c are permitted to utilize the contract, though they must negotiate individual payment terms with awarded vendors. State agencies will be subject to net 30-day payment terms via ACH or procurement card. The contract will support carpentry work across diverse state-owned facilities, allowing for flexible service delivery based on hourly rates submitted by qualified contractors. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the $25,000 project limit and potential for work across 216 buildings suggest significant opportunity for contracted carpentry services. Vendors will be evaluated primarily on their submitted hourly rates, with the state reserving the right to make multiple awards per county to ensure comprehensive geographic coverage and service availability. The broad scope of work and multi-year contract term indicate a strategic approach to maintaining and improving state-owned infrastructure through reliable carpentry services.
