IFB# 17-25 hopewell city marina L-dock roof replacement and repairs

The City of Hopewell, located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) #17-25 for a comprehensive repair and roof replacement project at the Hopewell City Marina L-Dock, situated at 1051 Riverside Ave. The procurement is a design-build contract requiring a qualified contractor to complete engineering, design, and construction services for extensive marina infrastructure repairs. Specific deliverables include framing and carpentry repairs, removal and replacement of roof decking, boat bumpers, walking surfaces, and structural pile repairs/replacements. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of 5 years of experience with similar marine construction projects and possess a Class A contractor's license, professional engineering credentials, and a City of Hopewell business license. The bid submission deadline is October 10, 2024, at 11:00 am, with an anticipated contract period from November 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025, and a required project completion timeline of 120 days from contract award. Multiple structural observation reports by Blue Nest Structural and engineering consultants have identified significant deterioration in the dock's support infrastructure, including damaged roof trusses, compromised support piles, and extensive water-level structural degradation.

The IFB does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the City reserving the right to negotiate if submitted bids exceed budgeted funds. A 100% performance bond will be required for the awarded contractor. While no incumbent vendor is specifically mentioned, the structural reports suggest this is a critical infrastructure rehabilitation project necessitating comprehensive repair. The bid pricing form includes detailed line items for roof deck and covering, structural framing repairs, walking deck and boat bumpers, and structural pile repair/replacement, indicating a complex and potentially significant investment. Though an exact budget is not disclosed, the extensive structural damage and comprehensive repair requirements suggest a substantial project value, likely in the mid-to-high six-figure range, depending on the complexity of the required infrastructure restoration.
