EPTF Building Maintenance

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically the Department of Transportation's Eastern Pennsylvania Training Facility (EPTF) located in Grantville, Dauphin County, is soliciting bids for a comprehensive Building Maintenance Service contract. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide preventative and corrective maintenance services across multiple facility systems, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, excavating, and roofing infrastructure. Qualified contractors must have a minimum of five years of general contracting experience and maintain a local office within 1.5 hours of the facility. The contract term is initially 12 months with four potential one-year renewal options. Key deliverables include routine preventative maintenance tasks, emergency repairs, comprehensive documentation of all work performed, and obtaining Facility Manager approval for repairs exceeding $300. The solicitation number is 6100023760, with a bid opening date of December 3, 2012, at 1:30 PM. Contractors are required to respond within two hours of call-outs and must provide formal estimates/quotes within five business days when requested.

While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly stated in the documentation, contractors must comply with local licensing requirements and state asbestos/lead certifications. The procurement allows for a Fully Executed Purchase Order contract, with the Department reserving the right to provide materials for installation. Hourly rates for normal and premium working hours must include all associated costs, and the Department does not guarantee specific service quantities. The contract includes provisions for potential liquidated damages of $200 per business day for failure to meet response time requirements. Although no precise budget range is specified, the contract allows for material purchases and repairs with prior approval. Contractors are advised to thoroughly familiarize themselves with the site before bidding and must be prepared to document all labor and materials in logs signed by both the contractor and Facility Manager. The solicitation suggests flexibility in contract execution, with the potential for future modifications based on performance and facility needs.
