RFQ for Construction, Repairs, and Maintenance Services

The Town of Wolcott in Vermont is seeking prequalified building maintenance contractors through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to establish a pool of trusted service providers for various construction, repair, and maintenance projects across five municipal buildings. The scope of work encompasses diverse maintenance tasks including exterior and interior repairs, carpentry, roofing, fire alarm installation/maintenance, addressing leaks, resolving clogs, and handling general building fix-it issues. Contractors will be considered for projects where labor costs are estimated under $10,000, with projects exceeding this threshold requiring a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The RFQ was posted on November 25, 2025, with responses due by December 12, 2025. Interested contractors must submit their statements of qualifications through email to selectboardadmin@wolcottvt.org, in-person drop-off at the Wolcott Town Clerk's Office, or via mail to the Town of Wolcott's designated address. The Town reserves full discretion in selecting one or more contractors, or potentially no contractors, based on the submitted qualifications and current municipal needs.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the RFQ, the procurement appears open to qualified building maintenance contractors with demonstrated experience in municipal building maintenance. No incumbent vendors or specific technology integration requirements are detailed in the document. The RFQ explicitly states that this solicitation does not constitute a guaranteed contract, but rather creates a pre-qualified list of potential service providers. The financial scope suggests projects will be relatively small, with a maximum labor cost threshold of $10,000 for direct contractor selection. Contractors will be expected to respond to maintenance needs on an as-needed basis, with the Town serving as the general contractor for all maintenance projects. Interested parties should carefully review their qualifications to ensure they can effectively meet the varied maintenance requirements across the Town of Wolcott's five municipal buildings.
