This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Chicago, Illinois. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The term of the Master Construction Services Contract will be 5 years, plus a 2-year extension option. Each Task Order will expire upon project completion and acceptance. Task Orders must be approved and executed prior to expiration of the Master Construction Services Contract. All terms and conditions in the Master Construction Services Contract will apply to any executed Task Orders, including but not limited to bonding and insurance requirements. The MPEA seeks experienced and qualified construction companies to enter into a "Master Construction Services Contract" to perform work on a Task Order basis, with the ability to begin work within the specified time schedule in each Task Order request. The MPEA seeks to award up to five (5) Master Construction Services Contracts in each of the following groups: General Contractor, Mechanical Contractor, and Electrical Contractor. Task Order requests will be issued to all contractors within the relevant group and awarded to the lowest responsive bidder for that Task Order. The scope of work will be determined on a project-by-project basis, but generally will be for projects that cannot be performed in-house by MPEA but falls short of larger planned expansion and construction projects that need to go through a formal design-build or design-bidbuild procurement process. Contractors will be responsible for all work within the scope of a Task Order, whether performed through its own forces, or through subcontractors. The contractor shall subcontract only with competent and responsible subcontractors. The MPEA reserves the right to approve all subcontractors at time of task order proposal submission. Contractor shall not replace any subcontractor or add or remove subcontractors without the prior written consent of the Director of Procurement of the MPEA. Such consent by the MPEA shall not be unreasonably withheld. For projects issued to the companies under the General Contractor group, the companies awarded Mechanical and Electrical contracts pursuant to this RFQ will be considered "prequalified". Contractor shall provide all equipment, fuel, labor, materials, transportation, trucks, vehicles, and any/all other services necessary to complete the scope of each project in accordance with the terms and conditions of its Master Construction Services Contract and each Task Order request issued. All services and materials shall be of the highest and best quality, competitively priced, and delivered and performed in a timely manner. Contractor must have the ability to perform limited design and engineering work as required by the Task Order scope, including any necessary licenses or professional certifications. Contractor is responsible for coordinating all disciplines, meeting minutes, schedule updates, obtaining needed permits, submittals and final as-builts for any projects completed. Pre-qualification is not a guarantee of work. Throughout the Contract Term, when the need for services arises, the MPEA may issue a project-specific Task Order request to the pre-qualified contractors in the relevant group per this RFQ, issue a separate Invitation for Bids, or perform work with MPEA staff. Additionally, each Task Order will be awarded to the lowest bidder from the prequalified Rapid Response Construction Group. For the RFQ submission, respondents are not required to submit completed Form I Special Conditions. For each Task Order request, Contractors are required to submit a compliance plan that includes 25% MBE and 5% WBE participation on each project.
