PWC Zaleski Wood Boiler Maintenance

The State of Ohio, through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), is seeking vendors to provide replacement of an existing wood boiler at the Zaleski ODNR Complex located in Vinton County. The project involves furnishing and installing a new wood boiler that meets minimum specifications, including a 320-gallon water capacity, 48-inch minimum firebox length, and 8,000 to 10,000 square foot heating capacity. Vendors are responsible for removing the old unit, supplying all materials and tools, and obtaining any necessary permits. The installation must be completed by November 30, 2024, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Prospective bidders are encouraged to visit the site prior to submitting a bid, and vendors must provide two examples of similar completed projects and participate in a pre-award meeting with ODNR staff.

The contract opportunity does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the available budget or award value is not provided. The contract will be structured as a Time and Materials agreement, with the contractor being paid an hourly rate for labor and reimbursed for approved materials costs. The state may require the use of minority-owned and EDGE (Encouraging Diversity, Growth and Equity) business enterprises.
