Paint, Wall Patch and Repair

Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) is soliciting competitive bids for a painting, wall patching, and repair project across three sites in Multnomah County, Oregon. The Request for Bids (RFB) seeks experienced contractors to perform comprehensive interior painting services at the Hazelwood, Cascade Crossing, and Knott Center locations. Specific scope of work includes removing temporary art, chalk boards, and bulletin boards, patching wall holes, and painting interior walls of classrooms, hallways, and bathrooms, with explicit exclusions for baseboards, trim, doors, cabinets, countertops, and ceilings. Contractors must use Behr Extra Durable Satin Enamel Interior Paint in Natural White or an equivalent product. A mandatory walkthrough is scheduled for April 28, 2023, with bid submissions due by 3:00 PM on May 4, 2023. The contract will be awarded to the lowest, most responsible bidder, with all work required to be completed by June 9, 2023. Bidders must submit a lump sum fee, a cover letter detailing qualifications, and three references for similar services.

The RFB does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance coverage. Bidders are required to secure necessary permits and comply with all applicable building codes. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the document indicates this is a competitive procurement process open to qualified contractors with demonstrable experience in institutional painting and repair services. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the requirement for a lump sum fee suggests the project has a defined financial scope. The evaluation will prioritize cost-effectiveness, with the lowest responsible bidder receiving the contract, indicating that price will be a significant factor in vendor selection alongside demonstrated qualifications and ability to meet the specified technical requirements.
