14 X 24 STORAGE BUILDING SPECS.docx

This is a specifications document for a state and local contract opportunity involving the construction of a utility/storage building for the City of Bloomington, Indiana. The project requires the construction of a 14' x 24' portable utility/storage building with specific structural and material requirements. The building must feature 2x4 wall studs at 16" on center, metal siding and roofing in a color to be determined later, gable vents on the front and rear, an 8' x 7' insulated manual roll-up garage door on the front, and a 36" standard insulated walk-through metal side-access door. The structure must include 2" x 6" treated floor joists at 12" on center with Advantech flooring boards, insulation in the roof, sides, and floor with a minimum R-value between R-1.9 to R-3.3, and an 8-foot sidewall height. All construction must be completed by the primary bidder, with subcontracting of any portion of the construction process resulting in automatic disqualification.

The vendor is responsible for obtaining or paying for all permits associated with transporting, delivering, and placing the building in Bloomington, Indiana, as well as for blocking, leveling, and anchoring the structure. The site will be prepped and rough-leveled by the contracting agency. No windows, entry doors, ramps, or electrical components are required, and the building does not need to meet specific Indiana Building Code requirements, wind-load certifications, or snow-load specifications.
