1. This work order- based program for MDAD emergency/priority work shall be established for a period of 18 months. At the end of the 18 months, MDAD shall evaluate the results of the program and, if the results merit, shall re-advertise this solicitation to increase competition. 2. Two (2) contractors for the Air Conditioning Unlimited trade with a corresponding maximum contract value not to exceed $200,000 shall be selected to participate in this work order based program. Selection of contractors shall be made by MDAD and shall be based on competitive unit prices (including contractor mark-up), qualifications, experience, past performance, availability and capacity. Two (2) Requests-for-Price Quotation (RPQs) shall be advertised for Air Conditioning Unlimited trade. A proposal submitted for one RPQ shall be deemed to be a proposal submitted on all RPQs for Air Conditioning Unlimited trade, unless the proposer affirmatively indicates with its response that it is only submitting a response on the single RPQ. In order to increase opportunities for Construction firms and to provide flexibility for MDAD, prospective contractors shall only be granted one award in any specific trade. However, prospective contractors may be awarded contracts in different trades, whether or not such contractor has been awarded a contract under any other trade classification, if they possess the required valid license to perform work in those different trades. 3. The maximum contract value for this RPQ shall not exceed $200,000 therefore contractors shall not be required to provide a Payment and Performance Bond. 4. The Aviation Department (MDAD) does not guarantee that the full amount of the contract will be issued to the awarded bidder. All work will be authorized as needed via Work Orders. The actual amount of the assigned Work Orders will be at the sole discretion of the MDAD. Work Order amounts will depend on the Department's needs. The total combined cost for all Work Order(s) shall not exceed the contract award amount. 5. Since a conference call does not require a physical presence, social distancing practices for COVID-19 are being adhered to. Bidders are still required/responsible for participating in the MANDATORY conference call. Failure to participate in the MANDATORY conference call shall result in the corresponding contractor/company being considered non-responsive. Contractors are extremely encouraged to call 5 minutes before the scheduled meeting time for a roll call. Late arrivals to the conference call shall result in the contractor/company being considered nonresponsive.
