Brandenburg Park Pier Board Replacement Project

The Charter Township of Chesterfield is seeking qualified contractors to execute the Brandenburg Park Pier Board Replacement Project through a competitive bid process. The procurement opportunity, identified as RFP #2023-FO-76, involves labor-intensive work to remove existing pier boards and handrails and replace them with equivalent materials, with lumber and fasteners to be provided by the owner. The project is specifically located at Brandenburg Park and encompasses approximately 1,190 linear feet of pier reconstruction, requiring Southern Yellow Pine 545 Pressure Treated Ground Contact lumber, grade #1 deck boards, and grade #2 4x6 nailers. Key deliverables include precise replacement of deck components using 4-inch Simpson SDWS screws, matching the existing three-rail railing configuration, and potentially routing the top four edges of deck boards. A mandatory pre-bid walk-through is scheduled for Wednesday, October 4, 2023, at 11:00 AM at 50050 Jefferson Ave, Chesterfield Township, with sealed bids due on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, by 11:00 AM EST. Evaluation criteria will consider price and other factors, with the township reserving the right to accept or reject any bids and make quantity adjustments as needed.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. Potential bidders must complete several required documents, including a vendor questionnaire (Appendix C) that details their business establishment, years of service, project completion history, workforce composition, and supervision credentials. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the township will require references, warranty information, and compliance with specified terms and conditions. Bidders may be subject to potential bonding requirements, and the township maintains the right to terminate the contract with 30 days' written notice for vendor non-compliance. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves comprehensive pier board replacement, suggesting a potentially significant infrastructure investment. The contract will be awarded to the most advantageous bidder, with prices expected to remain firm for the duration of the project and no price increases permitted.
