The Alabama Port Authority is requesting proposals for painting and blasting services in support of the McDuffie Coal Terminal facility in Mobile, Alabama. It is issued as a multiple-award, Time & Materials Not-to-Exceed, on-retainer Request for Proposal. This combined synopsis/solicitation is the only solicitation, and no written solicitation will be issued.
The APA intends to place multiple qualified companies on contract for on-retainer Painting & Blasting services, and reserves the right to determine the number of awards.
Awarded Contractors will quote each project on a Time & Materials, not-to-exceed basis before a Work Order or Purchase Order is issued, except in emergency situations authorized in writing by McDuffie personnel, as described in Exhibit “A”. The APA may request quotes from one or more awarded Contractors for a given project. Offerors unable to start work within forty-eight (48) hours of notice from McDuffie, as required by Exhibit “A”, Section 2, should not submit a proposal.
As APA has multiple sites, the location of the worksite will be set forth in the applicable Statement of Work. This Agreement can be used by any department at the Alabama Port Authority, but the majority of the work is expected to occur at the McDuffie Coal Terminal.
Award of this Agreement does not obligate APA to any minimum hours of awarded work, nor does it limit the total hours of various crafts and equipment that can be used.
