1. Introduction

Project Description

1.1. Summary

Lewis County is looking for a qualified vendor to complete the Acoustical Drop Ceiling for the new Community Development Building.

1.2. Background

Lewis County has been purchasing historic buildings with the goal of creating a "County

Campus" downtown Chehalis, with the intent of better consolidating County Government buildings and staff to improve accessibility while rejuvenating the Historic Downtown area. This plan when executed will provide a closely knit series of county owned and operated facilities, that provide a central hub, allowing Lewis County citizens to find and access a majority of

County services within walking distance of each other. Lewis County has assumed the role of

General Contractor, overseeing any and all 3rd party vendors utilized in the preservation/rejuvenation of these historic buildings. Lewis county is looking for the help of local trade specific vendors to make this goal a reality. By utilizing the skillset of the best tradesman available, we can oversee these projects, while ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship and quality, while simultaneously leveraging construction funds for the greatest result possible.
