About this file

This is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) document issued by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) for the construction of viewing platforms at the Ted Harvey Conservation Area. The project involves the design and construction of two elevated viewing platforms to enhance public access and viewing opportunities at the conservation area. The ITB requests bids for the complete construction of these structures, including all materials, labor, and site preparation necessary to bring the project to completion. Bids were due on a specified deadline established in the solicitation, with the award anticipated following the evaluation and selection process. Site visits were encouraged for interested bidders to familiarize themselves with the project location and site conditions prior to submitting proposals.

The project is funded through Delaware state resources allocated to DNREC for conservation area improvements and public access enhancements. Pricing for the project should be submitted as a lump-sum bid covering all design and construction costs associated with the viewing platform installation. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all technical and administrative requirements outlined in the ITB. Standard state procurement regulations and contractor qualifications apply, with preference considerations given to Delaware-based contractors where applicable under state procurement policies. The contract term extends through the completion of construction and final acceptance of the viewing platforms by DNREC.
