RC HVAC-Plumbing Region 4

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs (DMVA), is seeking an on-call HVAC-Plumbing services contractor for Region 4, which encompasses three regional facilities: Bradford RC, Clearfield RC, and Punxsutawney RC. The procurement is for a comprehensive HVAC and plumbing maintenance contract that includes emergency and routine repair work, system maintenance, and installation services. Contractors must provide rapid response times, with requirements to address routine work within 24 hours and emergency calls within 4 hours. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder who meets minimum qualifications, with a planned three-year term from September 2024 through September 2027 and options for two additional one-year renewals. Key contractor qualifications include the ability to perform all listed services, submit detailed pricing for line items, and obtain pre-approval for any subcontracted work. The proposal is due by June 10, 2024, and contractors must complete several mandatory certification forms, including a Domestic Workforce Utilization Certification and an Iran Free Procurement Certification.

The contract opportunity includes several critical restrictions and compliance requirements for potential bidders. Contractors must certify compliance with Pennsylvania labor laws, including the Construction Workplace Misclassification Act and Prevailing Wage Act, and demonstrate that a significant percentage of direct labor will be performed within the United States. The contract is funded partially or wholly with federal funds, and work is contingent on funding availability. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, contractors must complete a Reciprocal Limitations Act form that provides details about manufacturing locations and potential state bidding preferences. The contract includes labor rate specifications for mechanics and apprentices, with defined regular and overtime hourly rates, as well as equipment rental rates for tools like bucket trucks and high lifts. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the services and the multi-year contract term suggest a significant potential contract value for the selected vendor.
