HVAC Repair Services for Iowa PBS Transmitter and Translator Sites

The Iowa Department of Administrative Services, on behalf of Iowa PBS, is soliciting qualified HVAC contractors to provide comprehensive heating, ventilation and air‑conditioning services—including preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, diagnostics, and parts supply—for 24 broadcast transmitter and translator sites (including one site in Illinois). The contract is a one‑year base with the possibility of up to five additional one‑year extensions (maximum six years total), paid on net‑60 terms with a 1 % administrative fee and FOB‑destination freight terms. No mandatory site visits are required, and bidders may submit a $0 price for any sites outside their service area. • Provide regular‑hour and emergency‑hour labor rates, per‑site‑visit fees, and a percentage markup on materials for each listed location. • Service a variety of HVAC equipment (Bard, Lennox, Trane, Carrier, etc.) across dispersed rural sites, requiring travel and rapid response capabilities. • Submit quarterly sales reports, accept a 1 % administrative fee, and comply with Iowa’s licensing, insurance, and residency preference requirements.
