This fixed-price construction project encompasses three distinct work areas: the front parking lot (requiring installation of a scratch course and new asphalt layers totaling 3.5 inches), the loading dock and receiving area (requiring milling of 1.5 inches of existing asphalt and installation of new 1.5-inch wearing coats), and the intake parking lot and access road (requiring similar milling and resurfacing with temporary relocation of eight metal storage buildings). Bidders must submit a single lump sum quotation for the entire project and must be properly licensed as West Virginia contractors with demonstrated capability to complete the work within 60 calendar days of receiving the notice to proceed. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST at the facility; written questions must be submitted by October 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST to Philip K.

Contract requirements include commercial general liability and automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, a bid bond equal to 5% of the total bid amount, performance and labor/material payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract value, a one-year warranty on all work, and compliance with West Virginia Division of Highways Standard Specifications. All workers must pass security background checks and complete PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act) compliance documentation.

The solicitation documentation does not specify set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, women-owned businesses, or minority-owned businesses, nor does it identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. No existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements are mentioned beyond compliance with applicable West Virginia building codes and facility security protocols. Interested parties should note that work must occur Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM EST with 48 hours' advance notice required for any area closures, and all workers and vehicles are subject to strict security requirements including tool inventories and security screening. The solicitation is subject to domestic product preferences and local labor market hiring requirements where applicable, as this is a federally or state-funded construction project. The specific budget or award value is not disclosed in the available documentation; however, bidders are instructed to base their quotations on the detailed technical specifications and contract drawings provided in the solicitation materials, including Addendum No. 1 which clarifies milling depths, asphalt course thicknesses, and site restoration requirements.
