There is no bid depository safe available for mailing or hand delivering bids. The District will only

accept bids electronically uploaded to the Euna Portal (please see instructions for how to upload

the bid response on pages Euna-1 and Euna-2). Please see specific instructions on how to upload

your bid to the Euna Portal in the bid document entitled “Submission via the Euna Portal.” Bids

will be deemed non-responsive if not submitted using the Euna-project specific URL link, provided

by the District with the bidding documents.

Tenders are invited to provide all necessary material, labor, supervision, safety personnel, materials, tools,

equipment, and appurtenances, including transportation, to provide elevator maintenance, preventative

maintenance, repair, and inspection services at the Main Office Building Complex for a three-year period,

starting October 1, 2026 until September 30, 2029.

The Contract is divided, for purposes of bidding, into eight Items. Bidders must submit bids for all eight

items or the bid will be rejected as non-responsive. The District intends to award one Contract to one

Bidder for all the work to be performed. Funding of all contract items is subject to the Board of

Commissioners’ approval of the budget for those years.

The total estimated cost of the work under Contract 26-419-11 is: $215,700.00.

THERE IS NO BID DEPOSIT REQUIRED FOR THIS CONTRACT.

Specifications, proposal forms and/or plans may be obtained from the Department of Procurement and

Materials Management by downloading online from the District's website at www.mwrd.org (Doing

Business  Procurement & Materials Management  Contract Announcements). No fee is required for

the Contract Documents. Any questions regarding the downloading of the Contract Document should be

directed to the following email: contractdesk@mwrd.org or call 312-751-6643.

Failure to submit the required documents as specified may render the bid non-responsive and the bid may

be rejected.

I-2

The Contractor agrees to furnish a Contractor's Bond in the sum of 30% of the Contract value as security

for the performance of the work under this Contract, as required under Article 29 of the General Conditions.

Further, the District assumes no liability or responsibility for the failure or inability of any Bidder to

successfully download any and all contract documents, including but not limited to specifications, proposal

forms and/or plans, as a result of any type of technological computer and/or software system failure or

breakdown that restricts, prohibits or prevents successful downloading of any and all District contract

documents by the Bidder, whether caused by the District or other parties, directly or indirectly.

If any potential Bidder contemplating to submit a proposal is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of

the specifications or other contract documents, such inquiry should be submitted online at the District’s

website, www.mwrd.org. The path is as follows: Doing Business  Procurement and Materials

Management  Contract Announcements. The District will provide an online response to such inquiries,

as the District deems appropriate. Strings of appropriate questions and answers regarding the bidding

documents will be available online on the District’s website until the bid opening date of the bidding

documents. No questions will be accepted by telephone, fax, email, mail, or any other such form of delivery.

The District will only respond to questions received online up to ONE WEEK prior to the bid opening date

of the bidding documents. The District will not respond to questions received after this date. The District

does not guarantee the timeliness of responses provided online, nor does the District guarantee that such

responses will be provided in adequate time to affect the submission of bids. The District shall provide

responses online ONLY if the responses do not interpret or otherwise change the bidding documents.

The District’s responses online are NOT official responses and, therefore, are not binding to the bidding

documents. Any official interpretation or change to the bidding documents will be made only by addenda

duly issued to all plan holders on record by the Director of Procurement and Materials Management.

Bidding documents are only available online, and all addenda issued for this contract will be available

online at the District’s website, www.mwrd.org. The path is as follows: Doing Business  Procurement

and Materials Management  Contract Announcements. A copy of such addenda will also be

emailed/faxed to each person which downloads a set of such contract documents.

Failure on the part of the prospective Bidder to receive a written interpretation prior to the time of the

opening of bids will not be grounds for withdrawal of proposal.

The contact person for this contract is Karla Lopez. Ms. Lopez will provide online responses to online

inquiries.

Bidders should read page R-2, Paragraph 6, in regard to questions on this Contract.

Prior to award of the Contract, the lowest responsible Bidder must demonstrate compliance with the

District’s Multi-Project Labor Agreement by submitting to the Director of Procurement and Materials

Management a signed Certificate of Compliance with Multi-Project Labor Agreement. The Agreement and

Certificate of Compliance are contained in the Contract Documents.

Each Bidder must submit with their proposals a signed and completed MBE/WBE Utilization Plan, which

lists each business intended to be used as a MBE and WBE on pages UP-2 and UP-3 and supplemental

pages as necessary. The Bidder must sign the Signature Section page on UP-4. Failure to submit a

signed MBE/WBE Utilization Plan will result in a bid being deemed non-responsive and the bid will be

rejected. Also, if a Waiver is sought, the Bidder is required to sign pages UP-4 and UP-5, which is the

Waiver Request Form; failure to do so will be viewed as non-responsive and the bid will be rejected.

I-3

Each Bidder must submit with their bid package an original or facsimile copy of MBE/WBE

Subcontractor’s Letter of Intent, page UP-6 for each Subcontractor listed on their MBE/WBE Utilization

Plan. The submitted MBE/WBE Subcontractor’s Letter of Intent must be completed and signed by the

subcontractor and accompanied with a copy of the subcontractor’s current Letter of Certification from a

state, local government or agency, or documentation demonstrating that the subcontractor is a MBE or

WBE within the meaning of the Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D. Failure to submit

the MBE/WBE Utilization Plan signed by the Bidder at the time of the bid opening and the MBE/WBE

Subcontractor’s Letter of Intent signed by each MBE and WBE will be viewed as non-responsive and the

bid will be rejected.

If the Bidder exceeds the allowable Supplier Utilization amount which is stated in the bid documents, the

bid will be viewed as non-responsive. Therefore, the Bidder may not exceed the use of a MBE or WBE

supplier for more than 50% of each respective MBE or WBE, goal, unless the Administrator has authorized

a Supplier's Exception notated on page AU-I.

The Contractor must use the District’s online compliance monitoring system administered by the

Diversity Section for payment and reporting purposes, in order to fulfill the Affirmative Action

Program requirements.

The MBE/WBE Utilization Plan MUST be signed by the bidder, even if the bidder requests a waiver and/or

offers itself to meet any of the Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D goals. If the bidder offers

itself to satisfy any of the Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D goals, then its name shall be

shown in the appropriate space(s) on the MBE/WBE Utilization Plan.

Where a Bidder is a business owned and controlled by a minority woman (M/WBE), or where the Bidder

utilizes an M/WBE in a joint venture or as a subcontractor, the Bidder may count the M/WBE participation

toward the achievement of either its MBE or WBE goal, but not both.

Each Bidder’s Utilization Plan must commit to MBE and/or WBE participation equal to or greater than the

associated goals unless the Bidder indicates a partial or total waiver request on page UP5. If a waiver from

Appendix D requirements is sought, the Bidder will be required to provide documentation of “Good Faith

Efforts” to meet the Appendix D utilization goals, as defined in Section 15(e) of the Affirmative Action

Ordinance Revised Appendix D. Subsequent to the bid opening, and if it is determined by the Diversity

Administrator that a Contractor’s Information Form is required from the apparent low Bidder, the Bidder

must complete and submit the form with (3) calendar days of receiving the written request.

The work under this Contract is classified as “Miscellaneous Building Services” for the MBE and WBE

utilization goals contained in the Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D. The Associated goals

are 15% Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE) and/or Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBE).

Should you have any questions, please contact the Diversity Office at 312-751-4034.
