IFB #15-25 Laboratory-Administration Option 1A Remediation

The City of Hopewell, Virginia, through its Water Renewal department, is soliciting bids for IFB #15-25 Laboratory-Administration Option 1A Remediation, a comprehensive renovation project for its existing laboratory and administration building. The project encompasses multiple critical elements, including reroofing the existing membrane and metal roofs, installing a new dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) unit with associated ductwork, performing electrical work, completing architectural ceiling work, and conducting interior and exterior improvements. Bidders must be licensed Class A contractors in the Commonwealth of Virginia and will be evaluated based on qualifications and experience. The bid is due by 11:00 am on July 25, 2024, and must be submitted to the Office of the City Clerk in Hopewell. A pre-bid meeting was already held on May 8, 2024, to review project details. The project timeline requires substantial completion within 210 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed and final completion within 240 calendar days, with liquidated damages of $750 per day assessed for delays.

The procurement does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to provide a 5% bid bond, and the successful contractor must furnish 100% performance and payment bonds. The contract will be awarded on a lump sum base bid with an option for an alternate bid item, and the City reserves the right to reject any or all bids. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the renovation suggests a significant investment in upgrading the Water Renewal facility's infrastructure. The project will be funded by the City of Hopewell and constructed under a single prime contract. Pricing will be based on the submitted lump sum bid, with the City maintaining flexibility to adjust quantities as needed. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and the project appears to be a standalone infrastructure improvement initiative.
