The City of Carmel, located in Hamilton County, Indiana, is soliciting sealed bids for the 99th Street Path Construction project between Westfield Boulevard and Haverstick Road. The procurement involves constructing a 0.501-mile multi-use path on the north side of 99th Street, which includes storm sewer construction, concrete work, excavation, and associated infrastructure improvements. The project requires comprehensive construction engineering, mobilization, right-of-way clearing, utility adjustments, and landscaping elements. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a manufacturers list, subcontractors list, insurance certificates, and financial statements through the city's e-Procurement Portal by 9:00 am on Wednesday, February 19, 2025. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for Wednesday, February 5, 2025, at 1:00 pm in the City Hall Caucus Room. Contractors must provide a 10% bid bond or certified check, and the successful bidder will be required to submit a 100% performance and payment bond. The project has a substantial completion deadline of 60 days after the actual start date, with liquidated damages of $1,000 per day for missed substantial completion deadlines.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must be capable of coordinating with multiple utility companies, including AT&T, Centerpoint Gas, Duke Energy, and others, and must follow strict requirements for infrastructure work, utility coordination, and documentation. The project will involve work across multiple residential neighborhoods, including Walden Pond, Holaday Hills & Dales, Inglenook, and Lakewood Gardens. While a specific total project budget is not explicitly stated, the itemized proposal includes a $22,000 stormwater management budget and covers extensive site work. The project appears to be funded through local municipal infrastructure funds, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest, most responsive, and responsible bidder. Contractors must demonstrate the ability to perform complex multi-use path construction, storm sewer installation, and meet the City of Carmel's technical specifications and engineering standards.
