Community Development/EH Acoustic Ceiling Project, Re-Bid

Lewis County is seeking a qualified vendor to complete the Community Development/EH Acoustic Ceiling Project, a re-bid designated as Project 31-2102-Ceiling 2, for their new Community Development Building. The procurement involves providing and installing an acoustical drop ceiling using 2' x 4' tiles in an aesthetically pleasing layout. Prospective bidders must be members of the MRSC Vendor and Small Works Rosters and be licensed to perform work in Washington State. Key submission deadlines include a site visit scheduled for January 17, 2024, at 11:00 am, with prospective bidders required to submit questions by January 19, 2024, at 3:00 pm, and proposal submissions due by January 24, 2024, at 2:00 pm. Bidders must complete a vendor questionnaire, including a non-collusion affidavit, and comply with Washington State Prevailing Wage Laws. The county will evaluate bids based on responsiveness and may negotiate with the lowest responsive bidder to align the proposal with available funding.

The procurement is subject to specific technical specifications for metal suspension systems and acoustical ceiling panels, with detailed requirements for materials, installation, and finish. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the project requires strict adherence to Washington State regulations. Bidders must conform to trench safety provisions and may submit potential bid alternates. The project involves interior improvements for the Lewis County Facilities Department located in Chehalis, Washington, with work focused on the new Community Development Building. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the county reserves the right to accept or reject any bid and may adjust the project scope to match available funding. The procurement appears to be part of a larger tenant improvement project involving renovations to existing county buildings, with this specific contract focusing on the acoustic ceiling installation.
