1-SW-C1831 Anderson Lake New Day Use Trail Dev-Bid Bond 2025.xlsx

This is a Bid Bond Requirements document for the Willapa Hills State Park Trail Fish Passage and Habitat Restoration Project administered by Washington State Parks through the MRSC Bonfire Procurement Portal. The project encompasses site preparation, crushed surfacing base and top courses, hot mixed asphalt paving of the park's main road and trail, construction of an elevated boardwalk along a section of trail, site improvements, removal of existing vault restrooms, and construction of two new CXT restroom facilities at Anderson Lake State Park. Bidders must submit responses electronically through the MRSC Bonfire Portal at https://mrscrosters.bonfirehub.com/portal. The document establishes a 60-day acceptance period from the bid opening date, and bidders should refer to Section 11.1 of the Instructions to Bidders in the project manual for additional details. Questions may be directed to contracts@parks.wa.gov.

The bid bond requirements establish a threshold of $35,000, below which no bid bond is required. For bids exceeding $35,000, a mandatory bid bond equal to 5 percent of the total bid amount must be submitted as a single PDF file with the electronic bid submission. Bid bonds for the three lowest bidders will be retained for 30 days or until contract execution with the successful bidder, while all other bid bonds will be released within 15 days of bid opening. If the successful bidder fails to execute the contract or provide a performance bond within 15 days of receiving contract forms, the bid bond may be forfeited as liquidated damages. Failure to provide a required bid bond will render the bid non-responsive.
