Coconino County Joint Operations Center & Vehicle Storage Building Project

Coconino County is requesting sealed bids from licensed general contractors for new construction of a Joint Operations Center (approximately 9,300 square feet) and Vehicle Storage Building (approximately 17,600 square feet), demolition of an existing 6,700-square-foot pre-engineered metal building, and associated civil, site, and utility work, with bids due May 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Arizona time. Attendance at a mandatory pre-bid conference on May 5, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the project site is required for bid eligibility.

The project is located at the Sheep Hill campus, 5600 East Commerce Avenue, Flagstaff, Arizona, on County-owned property. Both buildings will be pre-engineered metal structures. The project is partially funded through federal funds, triggering Davis-Bacon wage requirements, the Build America Buy America (BABA) Act, the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act.

The scope includes two owner's allowances of $100,000 each for revisions from City plan review and State Fire Marshal comments, and $100,000 in combined allowances ($50,000 per building) for pre-engineered metal building deferred submittal revisions. Sealed bids are submitted via the Ion Wave Technologies online purchasing platform. One contract covers both scope areas, though invoicing will be separated into two pay applications due to different funding sources. A 10 percent bid bond is required at submission; a 100 percent payment and performance bond is due within seven days of award.

Contractors must provide commercial general liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $1,000,000, workers' compensation, professional liability of $2,000,000, pollution liability of $2,000,000, and builder's risk course of construction property insurance with deductibles not exceeding $10,000. Bid prices must remain firm for 120 days from bid opening and must include all applicable sales taxes. The site involves active County operations, an operational fuel island serving County and City departments, and an adjacent active MSHA-certified cinder mine, requiring careful coordination of site logistics and safety throughout construction.
