Highlandtown Wildlife Area Storage Building

The Ohio Division of Wildlife is seeking bids for the construction of a 12'x16' standalone storage building at the Highlandtown Wildlife Area located in Salineville, Columbiana County. The procurement involves a comprehensive building project with specific architectural and design requirements, including an 8/12 metal roof pitch in charcoal color, 1/2" thick walls with radiant barrier sheathing, and a 3/4" treated floor. Key deliverables include a 36" fiberglass door, a 30"x36" vinyl window, arched timber braces, and a 2.5-3' overhang, with the exterior to be finished in tan with white trim. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the total lot price, with all labor and delivery charges to be included in the bid. The solicitation was posted on November 27, 2024, with proposals due by December 13, 2024, and required delivery within 4 weeks of bid award. While site visits are not mandatory, interested parties can schedule visits through provided contact points. Bidders must submit complete pricing for all items to be considered responsive, with invoices to be submitted to Ohio Shared Services via email, fax, or mail.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the procurement documents. The contract appears to be open to standard commercial vendors capable of meeting the detailed building specifications. No information was provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements. The documentation does not specify a precise budget range or award value for the project. The scope suggests this is a relatively modest construction project focused on creating a functional storage and employee workspace for the wildlife area, with precise specifications that will require careful attention to detail from potential contractors. Bidders will need to demonstrate the ability to construct a specialized storage building that meets the exact architectural and material requirements outlined in the solicitation documents, including the specific roof pitch, wall construction, and exterior finishes specified by the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
