FY26 Garage Repairs

The Louisville Jefferson County Metro Government, specifically the Parking Authority of River City (PARC), is seeking competitive sealed bids for comprehensive garage repair and maintenance work across 10 downtown Louisville parking garages. The FY26 Garage Repairs project (Bid #260079) involves extensive infrastructure maintenance including concrete repairs, post-tensioned cable repairs, vehicular traffic membrane installations, facade repairs, sealant and masonry work, minor drain pipe maintenance, and expansion joint replacements. Applicable garages include 1st & Main, 5th Street, 8th & Main, Arena, Brown, Glasswork, Jefferson Center, Omni, Riverfront, and Seelbach Parking Garages. Contractors must demonstrate three years of garage restoration experience and provide a detailed project team with specific supervision requirements, including a Project Manager on-site at least 10% of the time and a Site Foreman present 100% of the time. The bid will be evaluated on a 100-point system, with 100 points allocated to the lowest bid meeting specifications, and experience requirements assessed on a pass/fail basis. Key dates include a pre-bid conference on September 19, 2025 at 10:00 am via Webex, with sealed proposals due by 3:00 pm on October 6, 2025, to be submitted through the Bonfire digital portal.

The procurement includes specific set-aside and preference designations targeting minority, female, and handicapped-owned businesses, with minimum utilization goals of 15% for minority-owned, 5% for female-owned, and 0.5% for handicapped-owned businesses. Bidders can receive preference considerations by meeting local vendor requirements and minimum wage standards, potentially reducing bid prices by 5%. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation with specific coverage limits. The contract allows for an initial period with potential renewals, not exceeding five years total, contingent upon mutual agreement. While a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the project includes various cash allowances ranging from $10,000 to $35,000 for different garages, with liquidated damages set at $300 per day until substantial completion. The work must be completed prior to June 30, 2026, with contractors required to mobilize within 14 calendar days of receiving a formal Notice to Proceed.
