Bid Guardrails, Stairs, Mezzanine Lyons

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is seeking bids for a construction project at the Lyons Sub Area facility located at 210 15th Road in Lyons, Kansas. The procurement involves installing and providing materials for guardrails, stairs, and a mezzanine structure, with specific technical requirements including welded handrails on both sides, rough steps, a 4-foot landing above a doorway, and a removable 5-6 foot gate on the east side of the stairs. The project is part of Bid Event Number EVT0010298, with a mandatory pre-proposal conference scheduled for May 6, 2025, at 11:30 am at the project site, and a bid closing date of May 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT. Contractors must submit a current Tax Clearance Certificate and attend the pre-proposal conference, with failure to do so resulting in bid rejection. The project requires completion within 30 working days, with work hours restricted to 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday, and all components to be painted using epoxy-based paint. Evaluation will be conducted using US Dollars, with KDOT reserving the right to accept or reject any or all bid responses.

The procurement includes several bidder preference categories, specifically accommodating Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses, State Use Purchases, and Certified Business preferences. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the bid allows for various business types to compete, with potential set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will be delivered to District 5 HQ in Hutchinson, KS, with a specified delivery due date of 09/30/2026. KDOT will provide a portable restroom on-site, and contractors are expected to supply all necessary equipment, materials, labor, and incidental items to complete the project. The contract is structured as a single line item with a batch lot quantity of 1, and bids under $25,000 can be submitted via email. Though no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical requirements suggest a substantial infrastructure investment for the mezzanine and related structural improvements at the Lyons facility.
