MPA 41 OE Electrical / Electronic Maintenance and Repair

The State of Rhode Island's Division of Purchases is conducting an Open Enrollment Vendor Assessment (OEV) to establish a Master Price Agreement (MPA 41) for electrical and electronic maintenance and repair services. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive electrical services, including installation, modification, maintenance, repair, and 24-hour emergency service call response for miscellaneous electrical projects. Vendors must be capable of responding to service calls and executing installation and repair work across various state facilities and political subdivisions. The contract period runs from February 13, 2025, to March 11, 2026, with vendors required to submit proposals electronically through the Ocean State Procures system. Key qualifications include maintaining specific insurance coverage: $1,000,000 in liability coverage, $100,000 in workers' compensation, and $1,000,000 in automobile liability insurance. Vendors will be evaluated based on their technical capabilities, insurance compliance, and ability to meet prevailing wage requirements.

The procurement opportunity is open to a wide range of vendors, with specific provisions for minority and disadvantaged business enterprises. At least one quote for specific projects must come from a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Women's Business Enterprise (WBE), or Veteran's Business Enterprise (VBE) if such certified vendors are on the qualified list. Political subdivisions, including municipalities, higher education institutions, municipal and state schools, and quasi-public agencies, are authorized to participate in the agreement. A 1% contract administrative fee will be assessed on all purchase orders, and vendors must submit quarterly reports detailing invoiced amounts. While no guaranteed minimum purchase amounts are specified, the statewide Master Price Agreement allows for potential project-based mini-bids among qualified vendors. The state reserves the right to make single or multiple awards, and inclusion on the qualified vendor list does not guarantee any specific level of purchasing activity. Interested vendors should carefully review the full solicitation documents and be prepared to demonstrate their electrical maintenance and repair capabilities across various potential project scopes.
