DCR-VSP-Staunton River Battlefield State Park - Clover Hill Visitor’s Center Repairs and Painting Services - Charlotte County

The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is seeking bids for repairs and painting services at the Clover Hill Visitor's Center located within Staunton River Battlefield State Park in Charlotte County. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with two distinct lot options: Lot 1 involves complete siding replacement and painting, while Lot 2 focuses on replacing only damaged siding with comprehensive painting. The project requires the installation of Hardie Plank Select Cedar Mill Primed siding or an approved equivalent, along with Sherwin Williams paint in a color to be mutually agreed upon. Contractors must maintain a Class B or higher license commensurate with the project value and provide a one-year workmanship warranty. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for January 31, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST, with project-related questions due by February 3, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST. Sealed electronic bids are due February 13, 2025, by 1:00 PM EST, with a public bid opening on February 14, 2025. The selected contractor must complete all work within 45 days of award or by May 30, 2025, covering approximately 3,900 square feet of exterior work.

The procurement includes a statewide goal of 42% participation from small businesses certified by the Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (DSBSD). Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, $100,000 Employer's Liability, and $1,000,000 Commercial General Liability. The bid will be awarded on a grand total lot basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with only one lot being selected based on available funding. Subcontractors must meet the same licensure and insurance requirements as the prime contractor and be legally authorized to work in the United States. Electronic bid submissions are required through the eVA system, with vendor transaction fees of 1% (capped at $500 for certified small businesses or $1,500 for non-certified businesses). Change orders are limited to 25% of the original bid value and require park manager approval. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial investment in facility maintenance and improvement.
