The Office of Purchasing & Contracting (hereinafter the "State") currently maintains multiple retainer contracts for several categories of Construction services and now seeks to modify service categories and qualify and/or re-qualify contractors. The retainer contracts enable State Agencies and Departments to quickly and efficiently complete small construction and maintenance projects. Pre-qualified Contractors have all agreed to the State terms and conditions and have their insurance and contract paperwork on file with the Office of Purchasing & Contracting (OPC). Projects utilizing this process are limited to $150,000 per scope of work. Through this Request for Proposal (RFP) the State is seeking proposals from contractors who will be reviewed and pre-qualified to provide the State of Vermont with one or more of the Construction services categories described in this RFP. Contractors meeting the qualification requirements described in this RFP may receive a retainer contract, to be utilized by the State as projects arise at various State-owned facilities. This RFP will result in the award of Retainer Contracts to multiple Contractors. The number of contracts awarded may vary between 4 and 6 for each specific type of service within each maintenance district based on the anticipated needs of the State, and to increase opportunity for work for the firms who have submitted proposals. The State reserves the right to limit the number of prequalified contractors for each category of services within each maintenance district. 1.2.6.1.

Statements of Work will be awarded to the lowest priced, responsive, qualified, and responsible Bidder. Bids appearing unbalanced and exhibiting a lack of project understanding may be disqualified. At the close of the question period a copy of all questions or comments and the State's responses will be posted on the State's web site Every effort will be made to post this information as soon as possible after the question period ends, contingent on the number and complexity of the questions. Contracts arising from this RFP will be for a period of two years with an option to renew for one additional two-year period.
