Contract: carpentry services, projects under $25, 000. 00

The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services is seeking carpentry services for projects under $25,000 through Request for Bid #3009-25, covering all ten counties in the state, with a specific focus on Cheshire County. The procurement seeks contractors to provide comprehensive 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. The contract will span five years from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, with potential two-year extension options. Vendors may bid on one or multiple counties, with up to three contracts to be awarded per county based on the lowest hourly rates. Key bidding requirements include providing hourly rates for standard business hours, after-hours work, weekend work, and holiday work, with pricing that must include all labor, tools, transportation, materials, equipment, and permits. 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.

The solicitation allows for broad participation, permitting vendors to bid on counties within their service area and extending contract usage to political subdivisions and nonprofit agencies under section 501c, though these entities must negotiate their own payment terms. The contract covers approximately 216 buildings across New Hampshire, ranging from 4 buildings in Sullivan County to 74 in Merrimack County, with material and subcontractor costs limited to a 10% markup. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the procurement appears designed to create competitive opportunities for various sized contractors. Payment terms for state agencies are established as net 30 days, with payment processed via ACH or procurement card. The hourly rate offer sheet provides a standardized pricing structure across counties, allowing for regional cost variations while maintaining a consistent bidding framework. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the per-project cap of $25,000 suggests a potentially significant cumulative contract value across the state's ten counties.
