What the district is buying

Wentzville School District is seeking districtwide elevator maintenance, inspection, testing, and repair services through formal bid RFB-F-476.

Prepare a clear, complete price response

Separate the base services from corrective repairs and multi-year tests in your pricing. Check the bid documents for how to price any alternate, and avoid including multi-year tests in the annual base price if they are priced separately by unit.

Review the requirements for inspection fees and certificate fees carefully. Make clear how your pricing handles certificate fees at actual government cost, and ensure the same inspection is not charged as both a state inspection fee and a private inspector charge.

Allow time to check your response against the required forms and submission instructions. Review addenda before submitting, and confirm that your response is complete and submitted before the deadline.
