On-Call - Glass and Glazing Services

Multnomah County, Oregon has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB-2-2020) for On-Call Glass and Glazing Services, seeking a contractor to provide county-wide, on-demand services for glass-related installations and repairs. The solicitation requires vendors to furnish, install, or repair glass elements including doors, relites, transoms, glass panels, walls, partitions, windows, and furniture tops. Qualified contractors must have journeyman-level installers and maintain a four-hour response time, with the ability to replace glass within two business days of receipt. The bid specifically requires technical expertise in various glass types such as float/plate glass, tempered glass, safety glass, and mirror glass. Electronic bid submissions were due by August 13, 2019, at 2:00 PM PDT, with an optional pre-bid conference held on July 22, 2019, at 9:30 AM in the Multnomah Building in Portland, primarily to provide guidance on bid submission procedures. Bidders were required to complete Attachment 1 Bid Sheet and Attachment 2 Cooperative Purchasing Vendor Agreement through the sourcing event platform.

The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the county encourages responsible business practices and diverse supplier inclusion. The contract includes provisions for cooperative purchasing, allowing other public agencies to potentially utilize the same contract. Payment terms are established at Net 30, with 0% financing, and prevailing wage rates effective July 1, 2019, will apply. No bid bond, performance bond, or payment bond was required for this solicitation. The contract emphasizes additional business practices such as energy efficiency and route optimization. While a specific contract value was not explicitly stated, the on-call nature of the services suggests a potential multi-year agreement with flexible service delivery based on county needs. The solicitation indicates a comprehensive approach to glass and glazing services across Multnomah County's facilities, with an expectation of responsive, high-quality service from the selected vendor.
