Walworth County, Wisconsin is procuring general contractor services for the reconstruction and modernization of County Trunk Highway H (CTH-H) from George Street to E. Geneva Square in Lake Geneva, a project spanning approximately 0.75 miles. The scope of work includes asphaltic milling, HMA pavement placement, manhole and inlet adjustments, removal and replacement of curb and gutter, concrete sidewalk and ramp construction, erosion control measures, staged traffic control implementation across three construction phases, pavement markings, and all incidental restoration work necessary to complete the project. Sealed electronic bids through the Bonfire procurement platform were due on March 5, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. local time, with final questions due by February 24, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. The project award was scheduled for March 16, 2026, with substantial completion required by August 21, 2026, and final completion by September 18, 2026, with liquidated damages of $1,570.00 per calendar day for non-compliance. All bidders must be prequalified with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the class and amount of their bid and must not appear on the Department's List of Disapproved, Suspended, and Debarred Contractors. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate (increased to $2,000,000 per occurrence for excavation work), Automobile Liability, and Contractor's Pollution Liability with minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate, with Walworth County named as additional insured.

This procurement contains no prevailing wage requirements, as neither Wisconsin prevailing wage rates nor Federal Davis-Bacon rates apply to this project. There are no identified set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting bid eligibility to specific organization types beyond standard WISDOT prequalification requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The project is funded entirely by Walworth County, which is a tax-exempt municipality; therefore, bidders must account for applicable sales and use taxes in their proposals. A 5 percent proposal guaranty payable to Walworth County is required from all bidders. While the exact award value is not specified in the available documents, the comprehensive scope of work encompassing 0.75 miles of roadway reconstruction with 84 line items of various quantities suggests a substantial municipal infrastructure project, likely valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars or greater.
