Paint & Drywall Labor Contract FPB #2

Clemson University is soliciting bids for a Paint & Drywall Labor Contract (FPB #2), identified by solicitation number 195607982, for work to be performed within South Carolina. The contract requires offerors to hold an active contractor’s license issued by the South Carolina Labor and Licensing Regulation and to upload this license upon submission; failure to do so may disqualify offers. The services include interior and exterior painting, drywall finishing, surface preparation, and drywall/plaster repair to professional commercial standards. Contractors must provide all necessary labor, tools, equipment, and incidental services such as minor moving or pressure washing. Work is scheduled during normal university hours with no anticipated emergency services unless specifically requested. Contractors are responsible for coordinating schedules with university representatives, adhering to Clemson’s safety policies, maintaining a qualified supervisor on-site, and submitting timely, itemized weekly invoices. The contract is governed by Clemson University’s standard procurement terms and conditions, which clarify the rights and responsibilities regarding contract changes, compliance, and other administrative matters. It incorporates federal and state regulations, such as nondiscrimination laws, Davis-Bacon wage standards, export controls, FERPA confidentiality requirements, and environmental compliance obligations including preferences for recovered materials. The contract is fixed-price in nature, but no guaranteed quantities or definitive pricing were included in the solicitation documents, only maximum allowable hourly rates and monthly price caps that serve as bid limits. Inspection and acceptance of work occur at the point of performance under Clemson’s quality standards, with final acceptance contingent on university approval. All bidding must be completed online through Clemson’s portal with clear deadlines and submission instructions. The contract also imposes rigorous ethical standards, contractor disclosure requirements, and mandates flow-down of applicable terms to subcontractors. The governing law is South Carolina, explicitly excluding international commercial conventions and certain software license agreements not formally procured.
