Contractors must also complete a Standard Affirmation and Disclosure Form addressing offshore services and compliance with Executive Orders 2019-12D and 2022-02D, which includes disclosing principal business locations and service performance areas. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract is for a Medicaid-certified Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities, suggesting a requirement for specialized and professional plumbing services. The procurement process emphasizes transparency, with vendors required to provide detailed information about their operations, workforce composition, and compliance with state regulations. The contract's potential multi-year duration (up to three years) indicates a significant and ongoing service requirement for the Gallipolis Developmental Center.
