Build a shed at broad river WMA

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) is seeking a qualified contractor to build a shed at the Broad River Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Blair, South Carolina. The procurement is a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for a fully enclosed, pre-engineered pole building structure that must comply with the 2015 International Building Code. Specific project requirements include a 20-foot span open bay gable side with metal siding, a 12-foot-wide garage door, pressure-treated wood framing, 29-gauge cold-rolled steel roofing, reinforced concrete flooring, and two metal service doors. Contractors must submit a single lump-sum quote covering all labor, equipment, and materials. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on December 18, 2019, at 11:00 AM, with questions due by December 19, 2019, at 12:00 PM. The bid opening and award date is January 3, 2020, at 10:00 AM, with all work required to be completed by May 1, 2020.

The solicitation requires contractors to be licensed South Carolina general contractors with current insurance coverage. Contractors must provide proof of licensing and maintain general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000. Vendors may claim South Carolina resident contractor or resident subcontractor preferences if they meet statutory requirements. The project allows for potential preference to disadvantaged enterprises, though specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed. Contractors are responsible for site preparation, cleanup, permit acquisition, and must provide a one-year labor warranty along with manufacturer warranties. Payment will be made upon 100 percent completion and SCDNR approval. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement is for a single shed structure at the Broad River WMA, suggesting a relatively modest project scope. The solicitation prohibits substitutions and requires fixed pricing for the duration of the contract term.
