RFQ #23-ODU-04-CCC-OE2

Old Dominion University is conducting an open enrollment Request for Qualifications (RFQ #23-ODU-04-CCC-OE2) to establish a pre-qualified contractor term contract for various skilled trades across multiple jurisdictions including Norfolk City and Nathalie CDP in Virginia. The procurement seeks contractors to provide labor, materials, equipment, and supplies for new construction, renovations, alterations, maintenance, and emergency repair projects on an as-needed basis. Qualified contractors will be selected to perform work in specific trades including roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, painting, general construction, and other related services. The initial contract term will run from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2025, with two potential 12-month renewal options. Contractors must be properly licensed and submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating their qualifications, with responses due by August 15, 2024. The university will utilize an informal solicitation process to award projects, with a maximum project value of $500,000, and will select multiple pre-qualified contractors based on their specific trade capabilities and qualifications.

The university has established a strong commitment to small, women, and minority-owned (SWaM) business participation, with an aspirational goal of 42% SWaM business involvement. Contractors are encouraged to subcontract with SWaM-certified businesses and will be required to provide quarterly reports on their SWaM utilization. Currently pre-qualified contractors include Air Tech Solutions, Inc., Brush It On Paint Co., LLC, Hoy Construction, Inc., National Security & Door Corp., PBI Environmental Restoration LLC, Phase 1 Property Management, River City Enterprises, LLC, Syncon, LLC, and Vanar Construction, Corp. The average annual spend for these services over the past five years is approximately $3.9 million. Contractors previously approved under the original RFQ #23-ODU-04-CCC are not required to resubmit their qualifications. The procurement is open to qualified contractors and individuals within the Commonwealth of Virginia, with a focus on supporting local and diverse business participation in university construction and maintenance projects.
