Bid No. 234126 Chemeketa Parkade Exterior Coating

The City of Salem and Marion County are soliciting bids for Bid No. 234126, a project involving exterior coating services for the Chemeketa Parkade structure. The procurement requires a comprehensive exterior coating application, including detailed surface preparation, coating product specifications, and precise application methods. Bidders must submit a firm fixed price proposal for the entire project, which involves applying a specialized coating system to the parkade's exterior surfaces. The scope of work encompasses technical requirements for surface preparation, coating application, safety protocols, quality control measures, and project closeout documentation. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled, and interested vendors must submit their sealed bids by May 14, 2024, at 2:30 PM Pacific Time via a Zoom bid opening meeting. The contract term is one year with options to renew for up to four additional one-year terms, and the anticipated contract award date is May 31, 2024. Bidders are expected to provide comprehensive pricing inclusive of all labor, materials, equipment, and incidental expenses necessary to complete the work.

This contract opportunity is specifically set aside for certified Minority, Women, and Emerging Small Business (MWESB) firms, which restricts participation to qualified businesses meeting these certification requirements. The current incumbent contractor for this project is XYZ Painting, Inc., and the project will be funded through available sources, though the contract remains subject to funding availability. While no specific award value or precise budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation, the bid tabulation sheet reveals that two vendors - Fitzpatrick Painting and Pioneer Waterproofing - submitted proposals for the project. Both bidders provided a bid bond, acknowledged the addendum, and submitted the required First Tier Disclosure Form. The project requires vendors to have specialized expertise in exterior coating applications, particularly for parkade structures, and to demonstrate technical capabilities in surface preparation, coating application, and project management. The City of Salem intends to award the contract to FITZPATRICK PAINTING, pending final review and approval processes.
