General Trades

The New Fairfield Board of Education in Connecticut is soliciting qualifications and fee proposals for on-call general trades and emergency services under procurement ID 25PSX0048. The scope of work encompasses a comprehensive range of building maintenance and repair services, including carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, HVAC systems, painting, and emergency response services to address facility issues across school district properties. Contractors must demonstrate relevant experience, appropriate licensing credentials, and maintain proper insurance documentation and bonding coverage. The fee proposal structure requires submission of detailed rates for various trade services, with pricing evaluated as a component of the overall qualifications-based selection process alongside past performance, availability for emergency calls, and vendor capability. Prospective bidders must submit complete responses by October 15, 2025, with the procurement posted on October 1, 2025. The contract will be awarded to the most qualified respondent(s) offering competitive pricing and capable of responding to both routine maintenance requests and urgent emergency situations on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term.

While the available documentation does not specify set-aside designations, preferences for disadvantaged enterprises, or incumbent vendor information, the New Fairfield Board of Education intends to select multiple qualified contractors across different trade categories to ensure adequate coverage and competitive pricing for both routine and emergency work. The contract is structured as an on-call arrangement with an initial term and potential renewal options, allowing the district flexibility in engaging services as facility needs arise throughout the school year. Compensation will be based on submitted fee schedules or hourly rates for services rendered, with specific quantities and project timelines contingent upon actual work orders issued by the district. Funding is provided through the New Fairfield Board of Education's operational and capital maintenance budgets, with the district retaining discretion over the frequency and scope of work orders issued to selected contractors. No specific budget range or award value ceiling is detailed in the available procurement documentation.
