 Description:

The School District of Philadelphia's (District) Office of Facilities Management and Services has identified a need for the District’s Engineering and Maintenance staff to have access to supplies and materials to adequately maintain over 300 school district buildings to include annexes and little school houses.

 

Qualifying multiple vendors across facilities, engineering and maintenance categories will increase our response time and allow our maintenance staff to respond to school repair needs in a timely manner. These vendors were selected through a competitive process. All vendors listed either have a storefront equally located throughout the City of Philadelphia or guarantee delivery in under 48 hours. This contract be measured by the responsiveness of the vendors.

 

The contracts will be used to cover all hardware, equipment and repair supply needs for all District buildings. Types of supplies include but are not limited to: batteries, bins, brooms, buckets, doors, electric supplies, flashlights, filters, hand tools, power tools, hand trucks, HVAC parts, ice melt, ladders, light bulbs, light fixtures lumber, mops, paint, plumbing supplies, pulleys, radiator covers, rock salt, shovels, step-stools, tool-kits, utility carts, work tables, and parts and supplies needed to complete the repairs on cafeteria refrigerators and cooling systems, ovens, warmers, and serving lines. These are daily support items that will enable day-to-day operations of our schools.

 

Authorization of purchase from these vendors supports Guardrail 1: Welcoming and Supportive Schools - Every school will be a safe, welcoming and healthy place where our students, staff and community want to be and learn each day.
