Summary of Radford University Allen Building HVAC Renovation Project

This document is Addendum 1 to the Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the Allen Building HVAC Renovation project at Radford University in Radford, Virginia. The project encompasses HVAC renovations including replacement of air handlers, ductwork, piping, boilers, light fixtures, and acoustical ceilings throughout the Allen Building. A pre-bid conference was held on March 12, 2026, at the Armstrong Complex with attendance optional for prospective bidders. The addendum modifies the original bid deadline to 2:00 p.m. on April 7, 2026, with bid opening scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on April 8, 2026. Written questions regarding the project must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on March 17, 2026. Site visits may be coordinated with Radford University representatives with 24 hours' minimum advance notice. The contract duration is 200 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed date, with final completion required within 30 days thereafter. The project award will be based on the Total Base Bid Amount consisting of Part A (lump sum for all improvements), Part B (excavation of unsuitable material at $5 estimated cubic yards), and Part C (rock excavation at $5 estimated cubic yards), plus additive bid items at the Owner's discretion.

The bid structure requires three pricing components: a base bid lump sum for all work with the building unoccupied except for the call center and specific ground floor spaces, an additive bid item for full building occupancy with phasing and temporary services, and unit price bids for Parts B and C with final adjustment based on actual quantities. A bid bond is required regardless of bid amount, and contract securities are mandatory. For bids exceeding $250,000, prevailing wages per the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry must be used with certified payroll submissions required. Bidders must be registered as vendors in eVA, hold a valid Virginia contractor license, and acknowledge all addenda. The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids. No liquidated damages apply to this project. Parking passes for contractor vehicles are required at bidder cost, material laydown may occur in the construction fenced area or designated Armstrong Complex location, and daily cleanup of demolition debris is mandatory.
