The Town requires the ability to obtain welding repair services on various types of material when existing components break down at a welding shop. The Town also has the need for the fabrication of minor items, from time to time, to replace existing deteriorated items or support new items. The materials will vary from mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc. The service provider shall provide an hourly rate to repair or fabricate minor items as directed by the Town. The hourly rate includes labor costs, equipment, hand tools, electricity, welding gases, welding rod/wire, general liability, workers’ compensation, shop facility, all overhead expenses, and profit. The Town plans to have the provider furnish the needed materials on a cost-plus basis. The cost of overhead and profit, in a percentage, to be added to the cost of the materials is to be placed on the bid form along with the hourly rate. All work is assumed to be accomplished in the provider’s shop, therefore the NYS prevailing wages are not applicable for this service.
