NOBH - Mechanical Services

The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive mechanical services for the Northwest Ohio Behavioral Healthcare (NOBH), a 114-bed inpatient care facility. The procurement is for mechanical services covering State Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027, with services spanning from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. The scope of work includes specialized mechanical tasks such as piping, valves, traps, and equipment maintenance related to hot water heating, domestic water, sewer systems, and stormwater management. Bidders must provide detailed hourly rates for services during regular working hours, weekends, and holidays, and submit relevant certifications. The evaluation criteria will assess references and current experience (25 points), cost proposal (25 points), and compliance with requirements including equipment, certifications, licensure, and staffing skill set (50 points). The minimum acceptable score to be awarded the contract is 300 out of 500 points. The solicitation requires contractors to provide on-call service, respond within two hours of notification, and maintain 24/7 emergency readiness. The proposal is due by April 2, 2025, and interested parties can arrange a pre-bid walkthrough by contacting Donald McGuire, Building Superintendent, at (419) 392-9211.

The contract explicitly prohibits subcontracting without prior approval, and the contractor must be licensed and certified through the State of Ohio. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary labor, equipment, and materials to complete the work, with a requirement to track and maintain accountability for all supplies and equipment. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes comprehensive qualifications and capabilities. Invoicing must itemize labor and materials separately, with the possibility that NOBH may provide some materials. A written quote will be required before work commencement, and a purchase order will be issued prior to beginning any services. Although the exact contract value is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the mechanical services and the two-year contract period suggest a substantial commitment. Contractors must demonstrate the ability to maintain sufficient personnel and equipment to address emergencies continuously throughout the year, indicating a robust operational expectation for the selected vendor.
