Bidders must hold a current Virginia Class A Contractor License and demonstrate a minimum of four years in the construction business with at least two similar projects completed within the past four years.

Bidders must provide a bid bond of not less than five percent of the total bid amount, with the successful bidder providing performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of the accepted bid amount. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability of $2,000,000, Business Automobile Liability of $1,000,000, Workers' Compensation at Virginia statutory amounts, Excess Third-Party Liability of $5,000,000, and Builders Risk Insurance covering the full contract price with a maximum $1,000 deductible. Liquidated damages are assessed at $500 per calendar day for delays beyond the completion dates. Contractors must also complete preconstruction work (concrete footings, electrical trenches, and underground work) during at least three of four designated time windows between July and November 2026. The solicitation document contains no specific set-aside designations limiting bidders to disadvantaged or minority-owned enterprises, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed; however, York County reserves the right to terminate the contract if appropriations are not available in successive fiscal periods. Contractors must ensure full site restoration for all disturbed areas and maintain accessibility to entrances, restrooms, and walkways throughout the construction period while integrating with existing infrastructure at Riverwalk Landing.
