quotes submitted to anyone besides the Procurement/Contract Administrator at the aforementioned email address.
Late submissions will not be accepted.

7.0 PURCHASE ORDER: MHA will procure these services via purchase order for a duration of 1 year with a one-year
extension option, at MHA’s discretion, for a total of 2 years. By submitting a quote, the successful Bidder thereby

amount of services MHA requires. MHA does not guarantee any amount of work.
If a pool of contractors is formed, each bidder will be ranked by total calculated bid sum submitted in
response to this QSP.
When MHA has need of work in each service area, the MHA staff assigned will contact the 1st-ranked
Contractor to ascertain as to whether or not that Contractor is available to do the work within the reasonable
timeframe the Agency has established for that work. If the 1st-ranked Contractor is not available, the MHA
will proceed to the next-ranked Contractor, and so forth, until the MHA has located an available Contractor.
There may be instances when it is not reasonable to wait for the needed services to be completed, when

time and will seek a Contractor who within the previously described pool rotation who is immediately
available.

location, as specified within this QSP or on the contract executed.
12.0 ASSIGNMENT OF PERSONNEL: MHA shall retain the right to demand and receive a change in personnel assigned by
the successful Bidder to provide services to the HA if the HA believes that such change is in the best interest of the
HA and the completion of the work or provision of the items.
