The New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) has released Invitation for Bids (IFB) 1227 to procure NYS certified Water Treatment Operators (specifically Class "C" operators) for technical services at three juvenile justice facilities located in Monroe, Oneida, and Tompkins counties. The procurement seeks operators to perform system operation and maintenance for water supply plants, infrastructure, and water treatment services in strict accordance with NYS Public Health Law and state regulations. Qualified bidders must possess a minimum of two years of experience in water treatment operations, hold current NYS Class "C" water treatment operator certifications, and can bid on one, two, or three facilities: Industry Residential Center, MacCormick Secure Center, and Taberg Residential Center. Each facility requires one certified Class "C" water treatment operator to manage its community water system, with services including routine operations, emergency response, and call-back services. The bid submission deadline is December 3, 2025, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, with a deadline for offerer questions on November 4, 2025, and anticipated responses published on November 12, 2025. The contract term is expected to be five years, with an anticipated start date between March 1 and May 1, 2026.
The OCFS has established specific enterprise participation goals, including a 30% Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) target (15% for MBE and 15% for WBE) and encourages a 6% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) participation. Bidders may subcontract up to 30% of the overall proposed bid. The procurement allows for flexible bidding, with vendors able to propose monthly and hourly rates for emergency/call-back services, and OCFS will automatically implement a 2% annual increase starting in the second contract year. While no specific budget range is detailed, bidders must include all associated costs in their pricing, covering travel, licenses, insurance, administrative expenses, wages, and profit. Prevailing wage requirements will apply under Prevailing Rate Case Number PRC# 2025004599, and OCFS reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, modify requirements, and award contracts based on vendor responsibility and evaluation criteria beyond just the lowest price.
