MSU Bozeman, University Services Building Transition Services

The Montana State University (MSU) Bozeman, specifically the University Services department, is seeking to establish a Master Agreement for Construction Transition Services.

The vendor will work under the direction of the Campus Planning Design & Construction (CPDC) Project Manager and collaborate with University Services units such as Engineering & Utilities, Facility Services, Safety & Risk Management, as well as external departments like University Information Technology and University Police. The contract emphasizes a structured process for transferring operation and maintenance responsibilities from construction teams to the MSU University Services O&M team, including a formal change order process requiring vendor justification. No specific products or part numbers are mentioned, and no line items for products or services are listed in the document. The vendor is required to accept RFP instructions and submit necessary documentation such as a current W-9 and contract liaison information.
