Contract: well repair, maintenance, and installation services

The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Procurement and Support Services, is seeking well repair, maintenance, and installation services for state facilities, specifically targeting six Fish and Game Department hatchery locations in Berlin, Twin Mountain, Warren, Powder Mill, Milford, and New Hampton. This Request for Bid (RFB #3005-25) requires vendors to provide comprehensive well services including emergency repairs, maintenance, new installations, and well function analysis, with specific technical requirements for equipment, chemical treatments, and safety protocols. Vendors must perform a detailed four-treatment well redevelopment process using AquaFreed or equivalent methods, maintain a two-person field crew with current state safety training, and comply with environmental regulations. The contract solicitation requires vendors to submit hourly rates for both normal business hours and after-hours services, with bids due on March 7, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time. Key submission deadlines include vendor questions due by February 28, 2025, with state responses provided by March 3, 2025.

The procurement does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must be registered to conduct business in New Hampshire and complete a vendor application package with the Bureau of Purchase and Property. The contract term is approximately five years, commencing upon Governor and Executive Council approval through June 30, 2030, with an option to extend for up to two additional years. Vendors are required to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, along with workers' compensation coverage. Bid prices must remain firm for at least one year, with potential annual price adjustments on the contract anniversary date. Materials beyond the identified contract scope shall be invoiced at no more than 10% above vendor cost. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of services and multi-year contract duration suggest a potentially significant contract value spanning multiple state fish hatchery locations.
