Building Renovations at the Pickerel Creek "Lodge" Facility in Sandusky County

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife is seeking contractors for building renovations at the Pickerel Creek "Lodge" Facility located in Vickery, Ohio. The project encompasses five major renovation tasks: bathroom renovation in the Maid's Room, Conference Room renovation, Evidence Room window replacement, North Porch entry door replacement, and comprehensive building exterior weatherproofing. Specific requirements include installing Polaris HomeView Double 5 vinyl siding in Slate Blue 47 color, Pella 250 Series dual-pane vent sliding windows, Moen plumbing fixtures, and Sherwin Williams paint products. A mandatory site visit is required prior to bidding, with interested contractors required to contact Jim Brown, Assistant Wildlife Management Supervisor, to schedule. The construction is scheduled to commence upon purchase order approval and must be completed by June 30, 2025, with work hours limited to Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder by low lot total, with the state reserving the right to not award all tasks based on budgetary considerations.

The procurement encourages participation from Ohio-certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Encouraging Diversity, Growth and Equity (EDGE) businesses, though specific set-aside requirements are not detailed. Contractors must complete the OPERS Independent Contractor Form and comply with standard state contractual requirements, including maintaining specific insurance coverages: $1 million per occurrence for Commercial General Liability, Commercial Automobile Liability, and comprehensive insurance provisions. The solicitation requires contractors to affirm compliance with Executive Orders regarding offshore services and data storage locations. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the scope suggests a moderate-scale renovation project. Contractors must also complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form certifying their service locations and compliance with state regulations. The project will require coordination with the ODNR and adherence to the provided Scope of Work, with potential for partial task allocation based on state budgetary constraints.
