SLPC Decentrilization

The New York State Office of Mental Health and Saint Lawrence Psychiatric Center are requesting bids on heating system decentralization improvements at Saint Lawrence Psychiatric Center in Ogdensburg under IFB 26-060, with bids due November 4, 2026, and a mandatory site visit on October 14 at 10:00 AM EST. A 30% Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation goal and a 6% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) goal apply.

The scope spans three separate lots that bidders may pursue independently: Building 37 (conversion to hot-water heating system), Building 69 (installation of gas-fired and electric unit heaters), and Building 105A/B (conversion to gas-fired forced-air and electric heating systems). Each lot is evaluated separately based on lowest price. The contractor must provide all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, coordination, testing, startup, and incidental services.

Bidders must demonstrate three years' experience in the required service type and carry Workers' Compensation and Disability Benefits Insurance certification, General Liability insurance with minimum $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate coverage, and maintain a New York State Department of Labor contractor registration certificate. New York State Labor Law Section 220-i prevailing wage requirements apply, with wage schedules established per lot. The contract runs from November 25, 2026, through March 31, 2027, with no escalation allowed and all prices fixed for the contract term.

Site visit registration closes October 12 at 3:00 PM ET. Written questions from site visit attendees are due October 19 by 3:00 PM EST, with answers distributed by October 23. Bids remain binding offers for 120 days. In cases of tied bids, the contractor in business for the greatest number of years will be selected. No identical or substantially similar contract has been awarded within the past five years.
