Dept of Military, Foundation Repair - West Camp Rapid

The South Dakota Department of the Military is seeking sealed bids for a foundation repair project at Russell House #2, located at West Camp Rapid in Pennington County. The project involves extensive foundation rehabilitation, including excavating the foundation wall, reinforcing the existing stone foundation with a minimum 1/4-inch plate secured by bolts, and adding concrete/mortar support. Contractors will be required to replace cut floor beams, add support columns, and ensure proper grading and backfilling to create positive drainage away from the house. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on September 20, 2023, at 1:00 PM MT at the National Guard Road and Red Dale Drive intersection, with site access requiring active identification. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 p.m. MT on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, at the Joint Force Headquarters, Building 420 in Rapid City. For bids exceeding $100,000, contractors must submit either a 5% certified check, cashier's check, draft, or a 10% bid bond from a surety authorized to do business in South Dakota.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the procurement documents. The project is expected to be substantially completed within 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with an estimated project scope focused on critical foundation repairs. While no incumbent vendor information was provided, the project appears to be a standalone repair initiative for a specific military facility. The solicitation does not explicitly state a comprehensive budget range, though the requirement for bid guarantees suggests the project value is significant. Interested contractors can obtain project specifications from the SD Department of the Military office in Rapid City, with the understanding that all plans and specifications are the sole property of the State. The Department of the Military reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive any irregularities in the bidding process, providing flexibility in vendor selection.
