1501 South Lot Concrete Drive

The Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (IPTC) is requesting bids for full demolition and replacement of an existing asphalt driveway with a new concrete drive at the Owner's south lot in Marion County, with bids due July 29, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. via the Bonfire e-procurement platform. A pre-bid conference and site walk is scheduled for July 9, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at the Owner's West Campus facility.

The scope encompasses approximately 650 feet of driveway by 21 feet wide, including construction staking and layout, mobilization, excavation, subgrade treatment, dense graded subbase, 8-inch Portland cement concrete pavement, erosion control, and mulched seeding. The apparent low bidder must hold Indiana Code qualification (INDOT code A(a) Concrete Pavement - General or IDOA code 1611.01 Concrete Construction of Roads and Curbing) prior to Notice to Proceed issuance. The project is subject to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements and Federal Transit Administration compliance due to federal funding.

The contractor must achieve substantial completion within 45 calendar days of Notice to Proceed and final completion within 59 calendar days. Liquidated damages are assessed at $500 per calendar day for delays in substantial completion and an additional $500 per calendar day for delays in final completion. Retainage of 10 percent is withheld until 50 percent completion is achieved. Bid security of 5 percent of the base bid amount is required, with the successful bidder required to furnish performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price. Bids must exclude Indiana sales tax, as IPTC is tax-exempt on tangible personal property incorporated into the permanent structure. No DBE goal has been established. Contract award is anticipated in August 2026. Requests for clarification or substitution approval are due July 13, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., with responses provided via addendum by July 20, 2026.
