The City of Sioux Falls is requesting sealed bids for painting and coating work at the Denny Sanford Premier Center's generator housing, ice pit, and mechanical yard, with bids due June 11, 2026 and a pre-bid meeting June 2 at 1:00 PM on site.

The scope encompasses three primary areas: spot paint repair at the generator housing; complete removal and repainting of the mechanical yard screen with additional bracing installation and door modification; and removal of existing waterproofing with application of new waterproofing at the ice melting pit. Work includes dry-ice blasting and selective mechanical surface preparation, application of high-performance paint and urethane coatings, modification of swing gates with new hardware and louvered panels, and temporary disconnection and reconnection of ice-melting coils and associated piping. The contractor must drain approximately 500 to 600 gallons of existing brine solution, provide new calcium chloride brine solution meeting industry standards, perform pressure testing of welds, and obtain owner sign-off on brine concentration and pH before refilling. Field verification of dimensions and existing conditions prior to fabrication and material ordering is required. Contractors must document existing conditions by camera, protect materials and equipment on site, and return as-built drawings to the architect.

The estimated contract value is $85,432, funded with City operating funds. The project is divided into two phases: Phase 1 (Interior Ice Pit Work) with substantial completion by August 14, 2026 and final completion by August 31; Phase 2 (Exterior Mechanical Yard Work) with substantial completion by September 11 and final completion by September 25. Liquidated damages are assessed at $300 per calendar day for each completion date not met. Work is restricted to 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday without owner approval. The contractor must maintain comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate, workers' compensation insurance, automobile liability coverage, and property insurance covering the full project value. Tobacco use, smoking, and controlled substances are prohibited on City property. Sealed bids must be submitted electronically through the City's e-procurement portal by 2:00 PM Central Time, with public opening at 3:00 PM. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder within thirty days of bid opening.
