Design, installation, repair and maintenance of County building awnings

Washington County, Oregon, has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) #2021.004 for the design, installation, repair, and maintenance of county building awnings at the Service Center East Building located at 3700 SW Murray Blvd in Beaverton. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to repair two existing awnings on the west side of the building and fabricate and install three new awnings over entry doors on the east side. The new awnings will be convex with no valance, have a 4'6" projection from the wall, be 5 feet high and 5 feet wide, and will reuse existing structures for two of the awnings. Bidders must provide hourly rates for various project aspects, including prep and design work, demolition, metal fabrication, awning material installation, and frame painting. The county has specified a markup not to exceed 15% for metal awning frame material and awning material. The bid was released on January 22, 2021, with a deadline for questions on January 26, 2021, and a response deadline of January 28, 2021, at 2:00 pm. The contractor will be responsible for site visits, safety measures, cleanup, and working within standard business hours (7 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday), with potential for negotiated alternate hours.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The contract requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000/$2,000,000), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000), and Workers' Compensation, with optional additional coverages such as Professional Liability and Pollution/Asbestos Liability. The contract is set for $100,000 for one year, with an option to extend up to five years based on project demands. Contractors must provide certificates of insurance prior to commencing work, with Washington County named as an additional insured. The county will require all insurance to be primary and non-contributory, with a waiver of subrogation. Subcontractors must maintain identical insurance coverage, and any substantive changes to insurance policies must be reported within two business days. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract represents a targeted infrastructure improvement project for the county's service center facility.
