The scope of work covers two specific locations in Broome and Chenango Counties: the Valley Ridge Campus in Norwich and the Broome Campus in Binghamton. Required services include routine annual maintenance, seasonal inspections, and 24/7 emergency repair services with a maximum four-hour on-site response time. The contract involves a diverse range of equipment, including Carrier chillers, Cleaver-Brooks and Laars boilers, Trane condenser units, and Mitsubishi ductless split systems. Bidders must adhere to strict qualification requirements, including a mandatory site visit to both locations and prior registration with the New York State Department of Labor in accordance with Labor Law Section 220-i. The contract is subject to prevailing wage laws and requires all technicians to meet specific certification standards, such as EPA Universal certification for chiller work and ASNT SNT-TC-1A for inspection personnel. Award will be granted to the single most responsible and responsive bidder providing the lowest Total Annual Estimated Cost. Proposals must be submitted in a sealed envelope by the November 4, 2026, deadline. Due to the highly secure nature of the Valley Ridge Campus, contractors must comply with strict security protocols, including metal detector screenings and prohibitions on certain items like lighters and neckties. Additionally, all contractors are bound by rigorous confidentiality requirements regarding service recipients and providers.
