APS wishes to establish a contract(s) for the moving of portable classroom buildings on an as-needed basis. The school district is large and covers more than 1200 square miles throughout the Albuquerque metro area plus locations in the East Mountains, the west side, KAFB, the far South Valley and one school in Sandoval County (Corrales). Contractor must be properly licensed with sufficient manpower and equipment to operate anywhere within this geographical distance. APS currently maintains an inventory of around 1158 various types and configurations of portable classrooms district wide. These buildings have previously been purchased under contract from Park Line West or C.H. Taylor. Portable buildings have not been purchased since 2012 (13 years). Sizes include single classrooms (28'x32'), double classrooms and parenting labs (28'x64'), double toilet portables (28'x20'), and child care units (28'x72'). The peak period for this particular service is during the summer as portable classrooms are moved about the district in preparation for the beginning of school. Typically, this will entail 75-100 moves to accommodate the projected enrollment needs. Timing is of the essence. Students must be placed in a physical classroom location on the first day of school. After school is in session, more moves may occur to adjust for final enrollments. This contract is also used by the Department of Facilities Planning & Construction when portables must be moved within a site to allow construction access. Portables are also moved during Winter break and at other times as needed. Contractor will not be required to hook up or disconnect electricity, plumbing or any other utility. APS will also disconnect and remove overhead vents, furnaces and air conditioning units prior to the move. Fencing, gates, playground equipment and similar will be removed by APS to allow contractor unobstructed access to the site on moving day. Furniture, books, toys, personal items, etc. will also be removed, stored and replaced by APS. Stairs, ramps and landings will be transported by the contractor to the destination site and left as nearly in place as possible. However, APS will be responsible for leveling, patchwork, etc. and final installation. Skirting shall be removed and turned over to APS by the contractor. Concrete pads at the destination site will be clean and otherwise ready for delivery. APS will coordinate access to any site and may visit any job in progress at its own discretion. When Contractor removes temporary fencing on the night of the move, it is Contractors responsibility to make sure that temporary fencing is reinstalled at the exit of the portable, so sites can be left secured. Contractor will provide all manpower, tools and equipment to safely move portable buildings in a timely manner. Services may include but are not limited to physical separation of various sizes modular sections into movable units, disconnection of vacated and/or abandoned utility components within the various units, relocation of units to destination sites, sliding of unit sections back together and re-bolting of roof trusses. Building damage, worn parts, vandalism or any other problems that in the opinion of the contractor may jeopardize the move must be immediately reported to the APS designee. No hazardous materials will be included in any move. If contractor observes anything unusual, it must be reported to the APS representative immediately and prior to undertaking the move. APS will attempt to provide schedules as much ahead of time as possible and to group moves as may be most expeditious for the Contractor.
