Camp Verde HS Library Renovations Project

Camp Verde Unified School District, located in Yavapai County, Arizona, is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB #2026-01) for library renovations at Camp Verde High School. The project scope encompasses Phase 2 renovations that will transform the existing library space into multiple instructional and collaborative areas, including three standard classrooms, one large classroom (587 SF), a flexible classroom (284 SF), an IT room (306 SF), administrative offices, book stacks (1,335 SF), a study lounge (932 SF), a multipurpose room (695 SF), and various support spaces. Demolition work includes removal of existing walls, ceiling tiles, doors, frames, carpeting, windows, and all furniture, fixtures, and equipment, with new wall construction to specified heights featuring sound batt insulation and compliance with ADA accessibility requirements. Qualified contractors must hold Arizona Registrar of Contractors licensure and demonstrate a minimum of five years of project experience in a school environment. Deliverables include compliance with all applicable building codes for egress and life safety, submission of a 10 percent bid security from Arizona-licensed surety companies, and upon award, 100 percent Performance and Payment Bonds if the contract value reaches $100,000 or more. Bidders must submit sealed bids electronically through the Bonfire portal by May 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM Arizona time, with public opening immediately following via Microsoft Teams. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for April 29, 2026 at 10:00 AM via Microsoft Teams, and site visits are available by appointment April 23 and April 27-30, 2026 between 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Written inquiries must be submitted through Bonfire by April 30, 2026 at 3:00 PM. Construction must be substantially completed within 60 days from Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day assessed for failure to meet the deadline. Award is anticipated at a May 2026 Governing Board meeting, and monthly progress payments are made with 10 percent retention, reducing to 5 percent after 50 percent completion.

This procurement contains no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting bidder types beyond the standard licensing and experience requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The project documents reference preliminary architectural plans and specifications prepared by Robert Polcar Architects, Inc. based in Sedona, Arizona, dated November 19, 2025, with a revision dated March 16, 2026, which establish the technical and design specifications for bidders' cost estimates and construction planning. Contractor liability insurance requirements include a General Aggregate of $2,000,000, Products-Completed Operations Aggregate of $1,000,000, and Workers' Compensation coverage. All work must comply with federal requirements including certified payroll and Davis Bacon wage compliance, and a two-year warranty on all work from final completion is required. While a specific contract value is not disclosed in the IFB, the submission of a Bid Cost Form (BT-46IV) requiring line items for the Library Renovations Base Bid, Prime Contract Sales Tax, Performance and Payment Bonds, and a 10 percent contingency suggests a substantial project likely exceeding $100,000, with the actual award value to be determined through the competitive bidding process.
