RFQ FOR: Plumbing Services at various City buildings

The City of Brockton has issued a Request for Quotes for plumbing services across various municipal buildings for the 2026 fiscal year, with a contract value estimated between $500,000 and $1.5 million. The scope encompasses maintenance and repair work, including boilers, pumps, sewer injectors, toilets, sinks, valves, copper pipes, soil pipes, hot water heaters, and water line installations. The contract period runs from September 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with response time requirements of a maximum of 60 minutes for regular calls and 30 minutes for emergencies. Vendors must demonstrate at least five years of relevant experience, provide references, and certify compliance with prevailing wage laws and OSHA training standards. For contracts exceeding $25,000, a 50% payment bond from an acceptable surety is mandatory, alongside proof of insurance naming the City as co-insured. The selection process prioritizes the lowest responsible and responsive quote based solely on the hourly rate for Journeyman services during standard hours, with other rates for nights and holidays being contractual but not evaluative. Bidders are required to submit their proposals electronically by August 20, 2025, via email to the City’s Building Department, ensuring acknowledgment of all addenda and inclusion of all certifications, licensing, and references. The RFQ emphasizes timely response, regulatory compliance, and proper documentation, with the contract designed to ensure efficient, safe, and compliant plumbing services at multiple City facilities.
