The scope covers demolition of existing detention doors and frames at the Green Hill School living unit (with one additive alternate for the Maple Living Unit) and installation of new detention doors, frames, and electronic security hardware. The project is subject to prevailing wage rates as a public works project in Lewis County. Mandatory apprenticeship utilization of 15% of total labor hours is required, with a $1,000 monetary incentive for meeting the requirement and penalties for shortfalls. Contractors must submit Subcontractor Listing Forms A (HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical) at bid opening and Form B (Structural Steel and Rebar Installation) within 48 hours of bid deadline.

The estimated bid cost range is $900,000 to $1.4 million. Substantial completion is required by June 25, 2027, with final completion within 30 calendar days thereafter. Liquidated damages are $350 per day for failure to meet contract time. A 5% bid guarantee is due because the project exceeds $35,000. The successful contractor must register with the DES Diversity Compliance program (B2Gnow) and maintain monthly payment reporting. Contract documents are available through the DES Public Procurement Portal (deswa.bonfirehub.com) or from KMB architects upon a $100 deposit, refundable if plans are returned within seven days of bid date.
