King County is requesting sealed bids for pedestrian safety improvements and access control at 104th Avenue SE and Canyon Drive & Weiland Street in Washington, with bids due November 3, 2026. However, the attached bid specifications document describes a distinct project—the South Seattle Autobody Remodel (State Project No. 2026-118 G (2-1)), a $1.2 million to $1.7 million interior renovation of an existing building at South Seattle College, not the pedestrian safety work referenced in the opportunity header.

The South Seattle College project scope comprises selective demolition, concrete work, carpentry, thermal and moisture protection, openings, finishes, plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, and electronic safety and security components across 32 divisions. Substantial Completion is required within 153 calendar days after Notice to Proceed, with Final Completion within 28 calendar days thereafter.

Bidders must comply with prevailing wage requirements for King County public works projects. Mandatory responsibility criteria include valid contractor registration, business identification numbers, active insurance coverage, and public works training certification. A 5% bid guarantee is required for bids exceeding $35,000. Subcontractor Listing Form A for HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical work must accompany the bid; Form B for Structural Steel and Rebar Installation is due within 48 hours of bid opening.

The project mandates 15% apprentice labor hour utilization with a $1,000 monetary incentive for meeting the requirement. Voluntary diverse business participation goals are 10% MBE, 6% WBE, 5% SBE/PWSBE, and 5% Veteran-owned. The successful bidder must register in the DES Diversity Compliance program (B2Gnow) and submit monthly payment detail reporting. Liquidated damages are $500 per day for each day in default. A mandatory pre-bid walk-through is scheduled for October 20, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. at the South Seattle College Facilities Office Conference Room.
