NOBH - Electrical Services

The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is seeking a qualified electrical services contractor for the Northwest Ohio Behavioral Healthcare (NOBH) facility through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP). The procurement covers comprehensive electrical services including installation and repair of high, medium, and low voltage electrical systems, fire alarm systems, security systems, electronic door locks, intercom systems, and data networks for a 114-bed inpatient mental health facility. Contractors must possess necessary state licenses and certifications, maintain sufficient personnel for year-round emergency response, and provide on-call services within two hours of notification. The contract will span State Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027), with proposals due by April 2, 2025, to be submitted through the Ohio|Buys website. Evaluation criteria include references and current experience (25 points), cost proposal (25 points), and meeting exhibit requirements such as equipment, certifications, licensure, and staffing skill set (50 points), with a minimum acceptable score of 300 out of 500 points required for contract award.

The RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Services will be performed during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), with clearly defined overtime and holiday rates for work outside standard hours. Subcontracting is prohibited without prior approval, and while NOBH may provide materials, contractor-supplied materials require advance authorization. Interested bidders can schedule a pre-bid walk-through by contacting Donald McGuire, Building Superintendent, at 419-392-9211. Hourly rates must be comprehensively itemized, distinguishing between labor and materials, and invoices should provide detailed breakdowns. A written quote and purchase order will be required before commencing any specific service engagement. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of services suggests a substantial multi-year contract value commensurate with the facility's extensive electrical infrastructure requirements.
