Legionella and Water Quality Testing

This state and local contracting opportunity is for a supplier to provide Legionella and water quality testing services for all eight Developmental Centers in the state of Ohio. The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) is issuing a Request for Quotes (RFQ) to award a contract that will commence on November 1, 2024 and include two routine semi-annual testing cycles, with an option to renew for up to two additional years. The selected contractor will be responsible for collecting water samples, performing lab testing for Legionella, and providing disinfection services if sample results exceed the specified threshold. The RFQ outlines the required services, including the estimated number of water samples per testing cycle, specifications for sample collection, and the testing laboratory requirements. Contractors must submit a cost proposal that includes per sample testing rates, hourly labor rates for disinfection, and any additional charges. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the stated evaluation criteria.

This opportunity is open to all qualified contractors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFQ documents do not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they provide any information about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not specify a budget range or award value, but contractors must submit their most competitive pricing to be considered for the contract.
