Cabin renovation-barnwell state park

The South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism (SCPRT) issued a solicitation for cabin renovation services at Barnwell State Park, specifically targeting the renovation of Cabin #5 (Bn-C5) located at 223 State Park Road, Blackville, SC. The comprehensive renovation project requires a qualified contractor to perform extensive structural and aesthetic upgrades, including wall reframing, electrical and plumbing system relocations, fixture installations, and interior finishes. Key deliverables include installing 3/8" beadboard sheathing, lattice trim, pine shiplap ceilings, new baseboards, LVP flooring, and replacing interior doors with 6-panel pine units. The procurement sought a single contractor who would complete all work within 120 days after receiving the purchase order, with the original bid submission deadline of January 19, 2022, subsequently extended to January 20, 2022, at 3:00 PM. Bidders were required to submit offers online at http://www.procurement.sc.gov, provide unit pricing with manufacturer specifications, and meet specific technical requirements. The procurement officer, James Jackson, was available for questions until January 11, 2022, with site visits possible by appointment. Evaluation criteria focused on selecting the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.

Contractors were required to be registered as a South Carolina vendor with a valid state vendor number and hold appropriate licenses and permits. The solicitation did not specify specific set-asides for disadvantaged businesses but mandated standard insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability, $1,000,000 in Auto Liability, and Workers' Compensation with Statutory Limits. Notably, the original solicitation did not result in any submitted bids within the budget allocation, leading to a "No Award" notification and potential re-solicitation. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed, the procurement was structured as a fixed-price contract with all costs included in the bid price and pricing to remain constant throughout the contract duration. Contractors were expected to assume full responsibility for any subcontractors and complete the work according to the specified technical specifications. The contract would be paid via electronic funds transfer following proper invoice submission and work acceptance.
