Building Water Proofing

The Kansas Department of Administration, Procurement and Contracts is seeking competitive bids for a water proofing project at the Parsons State Hospital Education Building located in Johnson County, Kansas. The Request for Quote (RFQ) involves comprehensive site work including water proofing, storm drainage improvements, and soil elevation modifications at the facility located at 2601 Gabriel Ave, Parsons. The project requires detailed technical specifications covering demolition, site layout, grading, drainage system modifications, concrete sidewalk installations, utility coordination, and post-construction landscape restoration. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for September 3, 2025, at 11:00 AM, and attendance is required for bid eligibility. Bid submissions are due September 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT, with bidders required to submit a 5% bid guaranty and potential performance and public works bonds depending on total contract value. Bidders must provide unit prices for line items including demolition, storm structures, storm pipe, downspout boots, concrete work, earthwork, erosion control, and landscaping.

The procurement encourages participation from disadvantaged business enterprises, with potential preferences for disabled veteran-owned businesses and certified businesses. Bidders must submit multiple mandatory certifications, including Immigration Reform and Control Certification, Sexual Harassment Policy Acknowledgment, Certification of Non-Boycott of Israel, and a current Tax Clearance Certificate. The state has anti-discrimination provisions and requires contractors to take steps to discourage human trafficking. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial infrastructure investment. Contractors must comply with state requirements including immigration reform documentation and anti-boycott provisions. The project emphasizes technical precision, requiring 4000 PSI concrete specifications, 95% standard proctor subgrade compaction, and detailed erosion control strategies that mandate maintaining site stability and achieving 70% vegetative ground cover.
