Summary
This is a final specifications document and bid set prepared by the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) Facility Professional Services for Pierce College Fort Steilacoom's fire alarm panel replacement project. The scope of work involves replacing existing JCI/Simplex fire alarm systems with new Notifier devices and systems across multiple campus buildings, including the Sunrise, Olympic North, Olympic South, Rainier, Cascade, and Health Education Center buildings, as well as the Milgard Child Development Center and associated facilities. The project is estimated at $1,500,000 to $1,700,000, with sealed bids due by 1:00 PM on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, via the DES Public Procurement Portal, followed by a virtual public bid opening on Microsoft Teams at approximately 1:30 PM the same day. A mandatory pre-bid walk-through is scheduled for 1:30 PM on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at Pierce College's Cascade Building Room 369 in Lakewood, Washington. The project timeline specifies 306 calendar days for substantial completion and an additional 60 calendar days for final completion from the date of Notice to Proceed. An additive alternate bid is available for JCI/Simplex reprogramming of existing campus fire alarm panels as stand-alone units for central station monitoring.
Bidders must submit Form A (HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical subcontractors) at the time of bid submission and Form B (Structural Steel and Rebar Installation subcontractors) within 48 hours of the bid deadline to render bids responsive. The project is subject to mandatory Washington State prevailing wage rates applicable for Pierce County, with a mandatory requirement of 15% apprentice labor hours of total labor hours; contractors meeting this requirement receive a $1,000 monetary incentive, while those failing to meet the requirement and lacking good faith effort documentation face penalties up to 5% of the total contract sum. Voluntary diverse business participation goals have been established at 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), 6% Women Business Enterprise (WBE), 5% Small Business Enterprise (PWSBE) or Small Business Enterprise (SBE), and 5% Veteran-owned businesses. Successful bidders must register in the DES Diversity Compliance program (B2Gnow) and submit monthly payment reporting. Bid security of 5% is required as a bid guarantee, and the apparent low responsive and responsible bidder will be awarded the contract. Liquidated damages of $400 per consecutive calendar day in default after the contract time apply. Bidders from states offering in-state contractor preference will be subject to a comparable percentage disadvantage applied to their bid amount.

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:

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.
