Summary
This is a Project Manual and Construction Documents specification package for the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) Facility Professional Services on behalf of the Washington State Department of Ecology (ECY). The project, titled "ECY - Phase 2 Parks Move In (Lobby, Walkway, Sign)" (Project No. 2026-711 G (1-1)), involves tenant improvements to reconfigure the entrance lobby and check-in area, establish a new pathway through the building's central atrium, associated electrical and mechanical modifications, and site improvements including a new sidewalk and site monument sign modifications at the Department of Ecology facility located at 300 Desmond Drive SE, Lacey, WA 98503. The project includes two additive bid alternates: Full Atrium Expansion and Partial Atrium Expansion. A pre-bid walk-through is scheduled for 10:00 AM on Thursday, October 1, 2026. Sealed bids are due no later than 1:00 PM on Thursday, October 15, 2026, via the DES Public Procurement Portal (https://deswa.bonfirehub.com), with a virtual public bid opening on Microsoft Teams at approximately 1:30 PM the same day. The contract time for substantial completion is 100 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed, with final completion required within 30 calendar days thereafter. Liquidated damages are assessed at $550 per consecutive calendar day of default.
The estimated bid cost range is $370,000.00 to $585,000.00. A bid guarantee of 5% is required since the project exceeds $35,000. This is a public works project subject to prevailing wage requirements in Thurston County, Washington; bidders must verify current rates on the Department of Labor & Industries website. Voluntary numerical Diverse Business goals have been established at 10% MBE, 6% WBE, 5% SBE or PWSBE, and 5% Veterans participation. Apprenticeship utilization requirements do not apply as the project is estimated under $1 million. The successful bidder must register in the DES Diversity Compliance program (B2Gnow) and submit monthly payment reporting. Payment and performance bonds are required using AIA form A312 for 100% of the Contract Award Amount plus state sales tax. Contractor liability insurance is required with minimum coverage limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate for contracts in this range. Plans and specifications are available through the DES Public Procurement Portal or from multiple plan centers throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho for a $300 deposit.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
FOR WASHINGTON STATE FACILITY CONSTRUCTION AND SMALL WORKS
PART 0 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
0.00 EXPLANATION TO PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS
A. In accordance with RCW 39.04.380 effective March 30, 2012, the State of Washington is enforcing a Reciprocal Preference for Resident Contractors. Any public works bid received from a nonresident contractor from a state that provides an in-state percentage bidding preference, a comparable percentage disadvantage must be applied to the bid of that nonresident contractor.
A nonresident contractor from a state that provides a percentage bid preference means a contractor that:
1. Is from a state that provides a percentage bid preference to its resident contractors bidding on public works contracts.
2. At the time of bidding on a public works project, does not have a physical office located in
Washington.
The state of residence for a nonresident contractor is the state in which the contractor was incorporated or, if not a corporation, the state where the contractor's business entity was formed.
All nonresident contractors will be evaluated for out-of-state Bidder preference. If the state of the nonresident contractor provides an in-state contractor preference, a comparable percentage disadvantage will be applied to their bid prior to contract award.
This section does not apply to public works procured pursuant to RCW 39.04.155, 39.04.280, or any other procurement exempt from competitive bidding.
B. Any prospective Bidder desiring an explanation or interpretation of the solicitation, drawings, specifications, etc., must submit a request in writing to the Architect/Engineer (A/E) eight (8) business days before the bid due date or by logging into the DES Public Procurement Portal (https://deswa.bonfirehub.com) and submitting a vendor discussion. Oral explanations or instructions given before the award of a contract will not be binding. Any information given a prospective Bidder concerning a solicitation will be furnished promptly to all other prospective Bidders by addendum to the solicitation if that information is necessary in submitting bids or if the lack of it would be prejudicial to other prospective Bidders.
C. In accordance with the legislative findings and policies set forth in RCW 39.19 the State of Washington encourages participation in all of its contracts by MWBE firms certified by the Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE). Participation may be either on a direct basis in response to this invitation or as a subcontractor to a Bidder. However, unless required by federal statutes, regulations, grants, or contract terms referenced in the contract documents, no preference will be included in the evaluation of bids, no minimum level of MWBE participation shall be required as a condition for receiving an award, and bids will not be rejected or considered non-responsive on that basis. Any affirmative action requirements set forth in federal regulations or statutes included or referenced in the contract documents will apply.
D. In accordance with the legislative findings and policies set forth in RCW 43.60A.200, the State of Washington encourages 3% (three percent) participation in all of its contracts by Veteran-owned businesses (defined in RCW 43.60A.010) and located at:

E. In order to report payment detail, the Contractor must create an account in the DES Public Works Diversity Tracking & Management System powered by B2GNow or verify if an account has already been created on behalf of the Contractor: https://des.diversitycompliance.com.

A contractor or subcontractor may not be required to exceed the 15% requirement. On applicable projects, the Bidder shall establish in the DES Public Procurement Portal and the Submittal Questionnaire/Bidding Terms and Conditions a minimum required percentage of apprentice labor hours compared to the total labor hours. The project’s apprenticeship utilization rate is calculated using the approved affidavits from the L&I portal.

3. Cost Value - The expected cost value associated with meeting the goal is included in the
Base Bid as described in section 10.12 of the General Conditions.
4. Utilization Plan - The Contractor shall submit an Apprentice Utilization Plan (Plan) using the Supplemental Bidder Responsibility Criteria Form 4 demonstrating how they intend to achieve the Apprenticeship Utilization Requirements.

The Contractor shall submit the Plan on the Apprentice Utilization Plan template (on the DES Public Works Forms website).
(a) The Plan shall be submitted to the Project Manager when requested for the Supplemental
Bidder Responsibility Criteria. A Plan that fails to meet the minimum requirements in RCW 39.04.350 may result in the contractor being determined as not responsible.
(b) The Plan shall be uploaded to the Department of Labor & Industries’ (L&I) Prevailing Wage Intents and Affidavit (PWIA) system on L&I’s website within 10 business days of Notice to Proceed of the contract and prior to submitting the first invoice.
(c) It is expected that the Contractor will actively seek out opportunities to meet the
Apprentice Utilization Requirement during construction even if the Plan indicates a shortfall in meeting the requirement.
(d) The Contractor shall provide an updated Plan during the course of construction when there are significant changes to the Plan which may affect their ability to meet the requirement.
(e) If the Plan indicates that the Contractor will not attain the Apprentice Utilization Requirement, then Contractor must submit “Good Faith Effort” (GFE) documentation with their Plan to L&I’s PWIA system.
