Facilities Management On-Call General Contractor Services

Pierce County Public Works is soliciting bids through Invitation to Bid for on-call general contractor services covering facility modifications, repairs, and construction in court facilities, general office buildings, and correctional facilities including jails, with questions due November 18, 2026 at 4:00 PM and bids due November 23, 2026 at 1:00 PM. The posting lists Platte County, Nebraska as jurisdiction, but the bid packet and solicitation description identify Pierce County, Washington as the issuing body.

Pierce County enforces a reciprocal preference for resident contractors, with comparable percentage disadvantages applied to nonresident contractors from states that give their own resident contractors bidding preferences, specifically Alaska, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The contractor must hold a current Washington State general contractor's license. Work in secure facilities requires background checks and CJIS clearances.

Scope includes labor, carpentry, millwork, framing, drywall, doors, windows, caulking, hardware, demolition, excavation, ceilings, masonry, and related work throughout Pierce County, including jail facilities. This is a unit-price contract. Bidders submit fully burdened hourly rates for labor classifications including foreman, carpenter, general laborer, electrician, painter, pipefitter, plumber, roofer, sheet metal worker, iron worker, cement mason, and millwork, plus percentage markups for subcontractors, materials, and permitting/testing. Work is assigned by work order on a time-and-material basis with no guaranteed minimum.

The initial contract amount is estimated at $500,000, and the county reserves the right to add funds as needed. The initial term is one year from the Notice to Proceed, with an option to renew for one additional year, for a total duration not to exceed two years. Washington State prevailing wage rates apply, and rates adjust if the contract extends into a second year.

Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond with their bid. The successful bidder must furnish a 100% performance and payment bond. Bid opening occurs via Zoom 30 minutes after the bid deadline, and bids are submitted through the Pierce County OpenGov Procurement Portal.
