MPA-534 Elevator Service and Repairs

The State of Rhode Island’s solicitation RFPM26006450, titled MPA-534 Elevator Service and Repairs, seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive maintenance, repair, and emergency services for elevators, escalators, and other vertical transportation systems located across state-owned facilities. The contract supports both routine and emergency operations with mandatory monthly preventive maintenance, 24/7 emergency response including a 20-minute response time for entrapments, and scheduled safety inspections governed by ASME A17.1 and Rhode Island General Law Chapter 23-33. Work is performed on an as-needed basis through Purchase Orders, with pricing structured for multiple fiscal years from FY-27 through FY-30 under both Fixed Fee Lump Sum and Time and Materials billing models, although specific cost values in the pricing table are not populated. Contractors must maintain a local inventory of critical parts, provide OSHA 10-hour certified technicians, and submit certified weekly payroll records to comply with state prevailing wage laws, with heightened documentation requirements including daily labor logs for contracts exceeding $1 million. All services must be conducted on-site at state buildings, with inspections verified by State Elevator Inspectors and acceptance tied to approved work completion slips signed by agency personnel. Vendor eligibility is strictly contingent upon holding a valid Rhode Island elevator license and full compliance with labor, safety, and billing regulations. The solicitation imposes explicit rules against billing for travel time or shipping charges, mandates FOB delivery of parts with no handling fees, and prohibits work commencement without an approved Purchase Order. Proposals must include detailed cost breakdowns by labor, materials, and equipment, along with written estimates from subcontractors and current equipment wiring diagrams. While the evaluation process operates on a Pass/Fail basis—primarily focused on licensing compliance—it appears aligned with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology despite the absence of formal weights or adjectival ratings. There is no requirement for UEI or CAGE codes, socioeconomic certifications, or federal FAR clauses, as this is a state-level procurement governed exclusively by Rhode Island statutes. The contract permits expansion of services without reprocurement, subject to Division of Purchases approval, and the State retains full oversight authority for inspection, acceptance, and payment validation. All responses are due by June 8, 2026, and interested vendors must access the full solicitation via the WebProcure portal or the public bid board.
