The State of Missouri, specifically the Office of Administration's Facilities Management, Design & Construction (OA-FMDC), is soliciting bids for an electrical service replacement project at the Benton Hall facility of the Nevada Habilitation Center located in Nevada, Missouri. The primary objective is to replace the existing main service and power distribution panel within the basement of the facility.

A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit is scheduled for October 18, 2022, at 10:00 AM at the Nevada Habilitation Center Maintenance Building. Potential bidders must submit all documentation electronically through the MissouriBUYS system, including a completed Bid Form, Proposed Subcontractors form, Affidavit of Work Authorization, and a 5% bid bond or cashier's check. The project requires electronic or physical acquisition of bid specifications, with electronic sets available at no cost and paper sets available for a $30 deposit from American Document Solutions.

The solicitation includes specific diversity participation goals, requiring 10% participation for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), 10% for Women Business Enterprises (WBE), and 3% for Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprises (SDVE). Only MBE/WBE firms certified by a State of Missouri public entity and SDVE firms meeting statutory requirements can be used to satisfy these participation goals.
