Commercial Laundry Equipment Project

The West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation is seeking a lump sum quotation for a Commercial Laundry Equipment Project at the Anthony Correctional Center and Jail located in White Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier County. The procurement specifically requires the procurement and installation of two 105-pound commercial washer extractors and two 120-pound commercial tumble dryers in a new food service/laundry building. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, with attendance required to remain eligible for bidding. Vendor questions must be submitted by July 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, and sealed bids are due by July 24, 2025, at 10:30 AM EST, with a public bid opening at 11:00 AM EST the same day. The contract term is fixed at 90 calendar days from the notice to proceed, and contractors will be responsible for providing all materials, labor, equipment, and incidental work necessary to complete the installation. Evaluation will focus on selecting the lowest qualified responsible bidder who meets all specified equipment and installation requirements. Specific technical requirements include detailed specifications for washer extractors and tumble dryers, encompassing voltage, capacity, dimensions, and performance parameters.

The solicitation encourages participation from small, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses, indicating potential set-aside or preferential considerations for these enterprise types. Contractors must comply with strict facility security protocols, including tool management procedures and mandatory background checks. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the contract drawings suggests a significant capital investment in the correctional facility's infrastructure. The state reserves the right to waive minor bid irregularities and will award the contract contingent on fund availability. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with all technical specifications, including integration with existing facility systems and adherence to correctional facility design standards. Invoicing and shipping will be coordinated between the Division of Corrections Central Office in Charleston and the Anthony Correctional Center. The primary contact for this procurement is Philip K.
