RE-Bid Bird Control Services RFP# 92-19

The State of Massachusetts, through the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), is re-bidding a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Bird Control Services (RFP #92-19). The procurement seeks to establish a two-year contract for various bird control services and materials, including labor, pigeon deterrents, netting, and energized systems. The RFP outlines estimated quantities for these items, with the MBTA reserving the right to adjust quantities as needed. Bidders are required to submit pricing using the updated Form C: RFP Price Form v2, and the contract will be awarded based on the total of the eight line items. The re-bid responses are due on July 10, 2019 at 2:00 PM, with a public opening at the MBTA offices. Addendum 1 has revised the RFP price form, removing overtime labor hours and clarifying that the Grand Total Lump Sum is for the two-year contract, with a purchase order issued for each year. Addendum 2 has provided a clarification regarding the types of services to be provided, specifically eliminating approximately 70 temporary steel plate repairs at various vehicle maintenance and storage facilities.

The RFP does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not specified. The RFP indicates that the MBTA has the right to increase or decrease the quantities as necessary without changing the unit prices, suggesting a potential range in the award value. The procurement is being conducted through the COMMBUYS procurement portal, and bidders are required to acknowledge the addenda in their proposal submittal.
