All cost proposals must include parts, labor, and all fees associated with acquiring necessary permits and engineering services required for project completion. Bidders must submit completed Item Grid forms, Standard Affirmation and Disclosure Forms, and Contractor Information Forms along with electronic quotes containing complete equipment model and identification numbers, product pictures, and warranty information, with quotes remaining valid for a minimum of 30 days. The inquiry period extends through February 27, 2026 at 4:00 p.m., quotes are due on March 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. via the OhioBuys website, and project performance is scheduled to begin within 30 days of contract award at the facility located at 4399 E. Bauman Lane, Batavia, Ohio 45103 with dock hours Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Contract award will be made to the bidder offering the most cost-effective solution as determined by the agency, and the primary contact is Lisa Wirick, Business Administrator, at lisa.wirick@dodd.ohio.gov or 513-735-8245.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the solicitation documents; however, all prospective offerors must be current or willing DODD providers and must affirm that they meet the minimum qualifications identified in the RFP. Contractors are required to complete a Contractor Information Form that requests current employee information on both a nationwide and Ohio-specific basis, including the number of employees and the percentage of women and minorities employed, and must provide their OAKS Supplier ID or Tax Identification Number. Additionally, all contractors must comply with the Standard Affirmation and Disclosure Form, which enforces Executive Orders 2019-12D and 2022-02D, prohibiting the performance of offshore services, the storage of state data outside the United States, and the purchase of goods or services from Russian institutions or companies. Contractors must disclose their principal business location, all locations where services will be performed, and all locations where state data will be stored, with the requirement to immediately notify the state of any changes or shifts in service locations before, during, or after contract execution. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or specific budget ranges are identified in the available solicitation documents, though SODC is identified as a Medicaid-certified Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID) operated by DODD.
