SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

1.1 Purpose and Goals

The Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) Office of Procurement and

Contracts issues this Invitation for Bids (IFB) to solicit bids from qualified, experienced,

responsible and financially sound Offerors to provide monthly boiler maintenance services to

DFA. These services are to be provided for the Office of Capitol Facilities within DFA. The

selected Offeror will assist DFA by providing such services as requested for which the Offeror has

the technical capacity to render. The services include, but are not limited to, boiler maintenance

services.

Offerors must have the proven ability to perform all services requested in this IFB. A more detailed

list of services is contained in Section 4 – Scope of Services. DFA seeks to enter into a firm fixed

price contract for these services.

The awarded contract will be for five (5) years. The effective date of this contract will be June 1,

2026. A draft copy of the contract has been included as Appendix E for your review. Should the

State elect to make an award as a result of this IFB, the successful Offeror must execute the State’s

standard personal service contract template, without substantive revisions. By submitting a bid,

Offerors understand and agree that any proposed revisions may deem an Offeror’s bid non-

responsive.

This IFB and any resulting contract shall be governed by the applicable provisions of the Public

Procurement Review Board (PPRB) Office of Personal Service Contract Review Rules and

Regulations (OPSCR Rules and Regulations), a copy of which is available at 501 N. West Street,

Suite 701E, Jackson, Mississippi 39201 for inspection https://www.dfa.ms.gov/personal-service-

contract-review under Rules and Regulations.

A copy of this IFB, including all appendices and attachments, and any subsequent amendments,

including the Question-and-Answer amendment, if issued, will be posted to the DFA website at

https://www.dfa.ms.gov/bids-and-IFBs-notices under the “Active Procurements”. It is the

responsibility of all interested Offerors to monitor the website for updates regarding this

procurement.

Before the award of any contract, the Offeror will be required to document to DFA that it has the

necessary capabilities to provide the core services specified in this IFB. The Offeror may also be

required to provide additional client references, as well as related project experience detail in order

to satisfy DFA that the Offeror is qualified. DFA may make reasonable investigations, as it deems

necessary and proper, to determine the ability of the Offeror to perform the work, and the Offeror

shall be required to furnish to DFA all information that may be requested for this purpose. DFA

reserves the right to reject any bid if the Offeror fails to provide the requested information and/or

fails to satisfy DFA that the Offeror is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the contract

and to complete the work described in this IFB.

1.2 Bid Submission Requirements

The original written bid shall be signed. The original bid and all required documentation shall be

submitted as a single package. Each page of the bid must be numbered. Multiple page attachments

and samples should be numbered internally within each document and not necessarily numbered

in the overall page number sequence of the entire bid. The intent of this requirement is that the

Offeror submit all information in a manner so that it is clearly referenced and easily located. The

bid shall include the section components clearly divided and identified as follows:

a. Bid Cover Sheet (Appendix A)

b. Bid Form (Appendix B)

c. References (Appendix C)

d. Release of the Bid as Public Record (Appendix D)

e. Acknowledgement of Amendments, if issued

Additionally, the Offeror shall provide the following:

a. One (1) electronic copy of the complete bid including all attachments in a searchable

Microsoft Office® format, preferably in Word® or Portable Document Format (PDF®).

b. If the bid contains confidential information, one (1) redacted electronic copy of the

complete bid including all attachments shall be submitted in a searchable Microsoft

Office® format, preferably in Word® or PDF®.

The redacted version of the entire bid – or if the Offeror does not produce a redacted version,

the full bid document – will be released at the DFA’s sole discretion, without notice to the

Offeror and will be produced as a public record exactly as submitted. If a redacted copy is

not submitted, DFA shall consider the entire Bid to be public record. The redacted copy

should identify which section or information has been redacted and the Offeror should provide the

specific statutory authority for the exemption. Per Mississippi Code Annotated §25-61-9(7), the

type of service to be provided, the price to be paid and the term of the contract cannot be deemed

confidential.

The redacted copy shall be considered public record and immediately released, without notification

of the Offeror, pursuant to any request under the Mississippi Public Records Act, Miss. Code Ann.

§§25-61-1 et seq. and Miss. Code Ann. §79-23-1. Redacted copies shall also be used/released for

any reason deemed necessary by DFA, including, but not limited to, submission to the PPRB,

posting to the Transparency Mississippi website, etc.

All documentation submitted in response to this IFB and any subsequent requests for information

pertaining to this IFB shall become the property of DFA and will not be returned to the Offeror.

All information requested is considered important. Failure to provide all requested information

and in the required format may result in disqualification of the Bid. DFA has no obligation to

locate or acknowledge any information in the bid that is not presented under the appropriate outline

and in the proper location according to the instructions herein.
