Fire Sprinkler Addition Fire Station 2 & 3

The City of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, is soliciting bids for a fire sprinkler system installation project targeting Fire Station 2 and Fire Station 3. This procurement involves comprehensive fire protection system implementation, including underground utility connections to the water main and complete restoration of disturbed areas in compliance with local Building Inspection and Engineering Department requirements. A mandatory pre-bid site walk-through is scheduled for February 4, 2019, with sealed bids due by 2:00 PM local time on February 22, 2019. Bids will be publicly opened and read aloud in the City Manager's Conference Room at the City/County Government Center. Bidders must submit proposals on provided forms, addressing bids to the City of Fond du Lac, and include a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the gross bid amount as a contract execution guarantee. Prospective contractors must file and receive approval for "Bidder's Proof of Responsibility" at least five days before the bid opening, and the Director of Public Works will make final determinations regarding bidder qualifications.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and select the proposal that best serves its interests. Complete electronic bidding documents can be obtained by contacting the City's Purchasing Manager, Josh Musack, via email at jmusack@fdl.wi.gov or by phone at 920-322-3453. Bid proposals may not be withdrawn for thirty days after opening without the Purchasing Manager's consent. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, bidders are required to provide comprehensive pricing for the fire sprinkler system installation, underground utility work, and site restoration. The project appears to be a public infrastructure improvement initiative focused on enhancing fire station safety and protection capabilities within the Fond du Lac municipal system.
