Comprehensive Inventory Assessment and Property Control Management Improvement Services

Baltimore City Community College is soliciting bids from qualified consulting firms to provide Comprehensive Inventory Assessment and Property Control Management Improvement Services. This Small Business Reserve procurement aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the College's property control program and lifecycle management practices through a five-phase approach: establishing a baseline of current practices, conducting gap and risk assessments, developing a Structured Mitigation Plan, assessing inventory management technology, and providing training and knowledge transfer. The project must align with Maryland inventory policies and the DGS Inventory Control Manual, with a term of service lasting 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The procurement follows a multi-step Invitation for Bids process where technical proposals are first evaluated on a pass/fail basis. To be deemed acceptable, bidders must demonstrate at least five years of experience in inventory assessments or similar consulting, specifically with higher education or governmental entities. Once technical acceptability is established, the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Key requirements include the submission of a Mercury Affidavit, a Bid/Proposal Affidavit, and proof of $1,000,000 per occurrence in Workers' Compensation insurance. Payment is structured as a single invoice submitted upon the completion and acceptance of all work, with payment issued within 30 days of receipt.
