Office Drinking Water Service QCC15-S016

This is a solicitation for an Office Drinking Water Service contract issued by Quinsigamond Community College (QCC) for its campuses located in Worcester County, Massachusetts. QCC is seeking a vendor to provide bottled drinking water delivery services, including hot and cold water dispensers, for a one-year term with two one-year renewal options. The contract will commence on July 1, 2015, and sealed bids are due by May 15, 2015. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, contingent upon QCC Board approval. The bid requires pricing for hot/cold cooler rental, 5-gallon bottles of purified or spring water, and any additional service/delivery fees. Bidders must also provide a list of recent contracts, references, and water safety testing data. The contract will be subject to QCC's standard terms and conditions, as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts contract requirements.

This solicitation does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent vendor, if any, is not specified. The bid documents do not provide an estimated contract value or budget range, but the scope of work suggests this may be a recurring, multi-year contract with a potentially significant value depending on the number of campuses and water service needs.
