Purpose & Explanation
The City of Hudson has historically bid out preventative maintenance services and emergency repair services on all HVAC equipment operating in public buildings. The contract is for a three (3) year term with an option for a two (2) year renewal if services are acceptable and pricing remains reasonable. The attached bid tab shows current contract pricing and compares pricing of bids that were received on 8/31/17. Gardiner Service Company submitted the lowest bid, which represents an estimated annual savings of 4.95% compared to current contract pricing.
