NOBH - Direct Digital Control Services

The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is seeking a qualified contractor to provide Direct Digital Control Services for the Northwest Ohio Behavioral Healthcare (NOBH) facility. This procurement is for a two-year contract covering State Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027, specifically requiring expertise in maintaining the Automated Logic Direct Digital Control System. The selected contractor must be fully certified and trained to perform preventative maintenance, including software updates and system adjustments for temperature control systems. Key deliverables include providing labor, equipment, and materials for troubleshooting, data correction, and control system management, with no subcontracting permitted. The proposal will be evaluated using a point-based system: 25 points for references and current experience, 25 points for cost proposal, and 50 points for meeting exhibit requirements related to equipment, certifications, licensure, and staffing skills. The minimum acceptable score to be awarded the contract is 300 out of 500 points. Proposals must be submitted through the Ohio|Buys website by April 2, 2025, with the contract period running from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027.

The contract does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contractor must have no unresolved findings for recovery and must comply with ethical standards prohibiting improper influences on OhioMHAS employees. Work is to be scheduled through the maintenance department, primarily occurring Monday through Friday between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM, with additional requirements for 24/7 emergency services. The facility is a 114-bed inpatient facility for acutely mentally ill adults, which may impact the complexity of the digital control service requirements. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the contract notes that funding is contingent on the availability of state and federal funds, and may require approval from the State of Ohio Controlling Board if expenditures exceed $50,000. The contractor will be responsible for tracking and accounting for all equipment and supplies, and must provide written quotes for any additional repair work beyond the base contract.
