Napa County PBES Remodel Project Manual and Technical Specifications

This is a project manual and technical specifications document for the Planning, Building, and Environmental Services (PBES) Department Remodel project for Napa County, California, located at 1195 Third Street, Napa, CA 94559. The project consists of modifications to the second floor of the County's Administration Building, including reconfiguration of the reception and administration area, copy room, permit center, cubicle layouts, and private offices, along with the addition of two new conference rooms, four new private offices, and an upgrade to the fire alarm control panel. The scope of work encompasses general construction requirements across multiple divisions including metals, wood, thermal and moisture protection, openings, finishes, specialties, equipment, furnishings, mechanical systems, electrical work, communications, and electronic safety systems. Bids are to be submitted electronically by a specified deadline (date to be determined in addenda), with submission of a completed bid form as a JPG file. A pre-bid meeting will be held at a location to be specified. Electronic copies of contract documents are available to approved bidders. Bidders must include a valid state contractor's license number with their submission, and bid security of no less than five percent of the total base bid is required. The project contract incorporates AIA Document A201 (2017 Edition) General Conditions and includes performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of the contract amount using AIA Document A312.

The preliminary cost breakdown in the bid form requires pricing for base building construction, fire protection, plumbing, heating/ventilating/air conditioning, and electrical work. Alternates are included for painting all walls and wood trim on the second floor and in the lobby. Bids shall remain open for sixty calendar days following submission and may not be withdrawn during this period. The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive irregularities. Following contract award, the contractor must submit a product list within thirty-five days and will have a thirty-five-day window to submit formal requests for product substitutions with supporting documentation. All work must comply with CALGreen environmental requirements, including mandatory measures for non-residential construction, and a comprehensive waste management program with recycling and disposal documentation is required. The building will remain operational during construction with various County departments occupying other areas, necessitating coordination with the PBES Department and Project Manager to minimize disruption to staff and public service.
