Sealed bids will be accepted until 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10th, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for May 27th, 2025, in the Commission Chambers. The project has a strict 150-day completion timeline, with liquidated damages of $1,000 per day for delays, and requires bidders to submit one original, four copies, and one electronic copy of their proposal on a USB flash drive.

The estimated contract value is $468,780.00, with bidders required to provide a bid bond or certified check equal to 5% of the bid amount and a 100% Performance Payment Bond if awarded. The procurement is federally assisted and subject to specific labor standards, including the Davis-Bacon and Copeland Acts, which mandate prevailing wage rates and anti-kickback provisions. A local bidder preference provision offers a potential 5% price adjustment (not to exceed $5,000) for local businesses. Contractors must comply with federal requirements such as E-Verify, public records laws, and specific bonding requirements. Bid documents are available electronically through VendorLink, with all questions to be submitted in writing by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 4th, 2025.
