Building maintenance services roster program

Hennepin County maintains a roster of small business contractors that provide the following building maintenance services: building repairs & renovations, concrete repair & renovation, electrical maintenance & installation, heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) maintenance & installation, masonry repair & restoration, and plumbing maintenance & installation.

This program is exclusively for small businesses with a five-year average gross revenue not exceeding $9,500,000. It is part of the county's disparity reduction effort to include small businesses in regular county projects. We look to the Central Certification (CERT) Program to find small businesses to invite to the roster. Learn more about how we strive to reduce disparities through contracting.

Contracts are in place for a period of three (3) years or until we have spent $500,000 with the selected vendor, whichever comes first.
Once the limit is reached, the contract will end, and the county will resolicit the opportunity
To solicit the opportunity, the county invites all small businesses certified by CERT (in the NAICS code) to submit a bid or proposal to get on the roster.
If awarded a contract, contractors agree to provide services at contract rates for the duration of the contract.
Multiple contracts may be awarded for each service as buildings are split into three groups.
