Fletchers Daniel Suite 517 blinds

The State of Missouri's Office of Administration - Facilities Management, Design and Construction (OA-FMDC) Building Operations West division issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the removal and installation of 20 commercial vertical blinds in Suite 517 of the Fletchers Daniel State Office Building located in Kansas City, Jackson County. The solicitation seeks vertical blinds that are approximately 28" wide x 85" tall, in Alabaster color, and comparable to Commercial grade Graber G-71 vertical blinds with valances. The RFQ requires vendors to provide all labor and travel time for the work, with materials to be delivered and installed at 615 E 13th St, Kansas City, MO 64106. The solicitation was open from November 3, 2018, at 9:00 AM CDT to November 10, 2018, at 2:00 PM CST, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination. Vendors were allowed to submit multiple proposals and alternatives for the blinds, and the contact for any questions was Matthew Hursman of OA-FMDC.

The RFQ did not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were mentioned in the documentation. The solicitation was open to all vendors without limitations, and no specific funding requirements were outlined. The documents did not provide an estimated total contract value or budget range for the project. Payment terms were to be specified by the vendor, and the RFQ did not include information about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The procurement was a straightforward replacement of vertical blinds in a state office building, with the primary evaluation likely focused on meeting the specified product specifications, labor requirements, and delivery terms.
