Ada County Victim Services Center RTU Replacement 2026

Ada County, Idaho is soliciting sealed bids for a fixed-price construction contract to remove and install five (5) rooftop units (RTUs) at the Ada County Victim Services Center located at 417 South 6th Street, Boise, Idaho. The base bid scope encompasses the removal and installation of the five RTUs, with an additive alternate bid required for two additional RTU installations, contingent upon available funding. Bidders must be licensed under Idaho's Public Works Contractor Act and must list all proposed HVAC, plumbing, and electrical subcontractors with their addresses and subcontract amounts; failure to provide complete subcontractor information will render bids non-responsive. The contract price must include a $10,000 owner's contingency allowance in addition to the base bid amount. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 2, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at the project site, with attendance required for bid responsiveness. Written questions and substitution requests must be submitted by March 4, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., with an addendum posted by March 6, 2026. Sealed bids must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire platform no later than 4:00 p.m. on March 13, 2026, with award recommendations by the Ada County Board of Commissioners on March 24, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., substantial completion required by May 6, 2026, and final completion by May 13, 2026, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for late completion.

The contract does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on disadvantaged enterprises. The successful bidder must furnish performance and labor and material payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract amount from a surety with an A-VIII or better AM Best rating or current Treasury Department certification. Comprehensive insurance coverage is required, including workers' compensation, employers' liability, commercial general liability with $2,000,000 general aggregate limits, business automobile liability of $1,000,000, builder's risk, installation floater, equipment floater, and riggers liability, with Ada County named as an additional insured on applicable policies. Award will be based on the lowest base bid amount submitted by a responsive bidder, with no state or federal funding utilized for this project. The specific bid amounts and contract value are not disclosed in the procurement materials provided, though the contract value would encompass the cost of removing and installing seven RTUs (five base plus two alternate units) and the mandatory $10,000 owner's contingency allowance.
