The document provides information about the requirements and procedures for submitting invoices, the basis of award for the contract, insurance requirements, and pricing for indoor air quality (IAQ) testing services.
According to the document, invoices for the services provided should be submitted to the Commission's Disbursements Group and a copy should be sent to the Project Manager. The invoice should include the Master Purchase Order Delivery Release Number, the date each service was performed, and an itemized list of services performed, including the name of the test(s) performed. Prompt payment discounts will be applicable from the date of acceptance of the work or the date of receipt of a complete invoice, whichever is later.
The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the totals of Section I, II, and III on the Pricing Page. Prompt payment discounts of 20 days or more will be a factor in determining the low bidder. Omission of an item on the Pricing Page will render the bidder non-responsive. Minority status may also be a factor in determining the award of the contract.
Once awarded, the successful bidder will receive a Notice of Award in the form of a letter accompanied by a Master Purchase Order. The contractor will be required to provide and maintain insurance coverage as specified in the Insurance Requirements section of the contract. The insurance should name the Commission as an additional insured and include a waiver of subrogation.
The contractor will be notified by letter when work may begin under the contract, upon receipt and acceptance of the contractor's Insurance Certificate and background investigations. The contractor should not begin any work until a Contract Notice to Proceed has been issued by the Contract Administrator.
The Insurance Requirements section specifies the types of coverage the contractor should have, including Commercial General Liability Insurance, Business Auto Liability Insurance, Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance, Umbrella Liability Insurance, Pollution Hazard Liability Coverage, Errors and Omissions Liability Coverage, and Employee Dishonesty Coverage. The Commission should be named as an additional insured on the Commercial General Liability insurance policy, and the Workers Compensation and Business Auto insurance should include a waiver of subrogation applicable to the Commission and its employees.
Certificates of insurance should be issued immediately after the contractor receives notification of the award and prior to the Notice to Proceed. The contractor should not commence any work until a written Notice to Proceed is issued by the Commission's Contract Administrator.
The Pricing Page provides sections for labor rates and laboratory tests for indoor air quality (IAQ) testing services. The bidder should enter the hourly rate for each labor classification in Section I and the price per test for each laboratory test in Section II. Additionally, the document mentions specific pricing for on-site airborne sampling for asbestos by PCM.
