Down in Dutchess County, the Village of Rhinebeck put out a call for on-call plumbing services, with proposals due October 23.
This is straight, as-needed maintenance work for the village. They are looking for a plumbing contractor to handle the town's repairs, and whoever wins the contract has to supply the materials, the labor, and the equipment to get it done. The village does not list a solicitation number or an estimated value, but they are asking for a prevailing-wage or hourly rate schedule to price the work.
This setup suits a local shop that already knows how to run service trucks and bill for time and materials. To win it, you have to prove you have experience working with municipalities, and you need to hand over certificates for general liability and workers' compensation insurance.
If your shop has the trucks and the municipal track record, this is a way to lock in steady service calls. Proposals have to be hand-delivered or mailed to the Village Clerk by 12 p.m. on October 23, in an envelope specifically marked "On Call Plumbing Service RFP" before they open them up publicly.
On the record: On Call Plumbing Services, issued by Rhinebeck, Village of. Bids are due October 23, 2026 (Proposals due 12 p.m., hand delivered or mailed to the Village Clerk.).
