IFB #21-25 Hopewell City Marina L-Dock Roof Replacement and Repairs (Resolicit)

The City of Hopewell, Virginia has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB #21-25) for a comprehensive L-Dock Roof Replacement and Repairs project at the Hopewell City Marina, located at 1051 Riverside Ave. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to complete design, engineering, and construction services involving extensive marina infrastructure repairs, including full roof replacement, structural framing restoration, walking deck rehabilitation, and structural pile repairs/replacements. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of 5 years of experience in marine construction projects and will be evaluated based on their technical capabilities and lowest responsive bid. The bid is due by 11:00 AM on November 14, 2024, with an anticipated contract period from December 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, and a required project completion timeline of 180 days from contract award. Structural observation reports indicate significant deterioration of the existing dock infrastructure, including approximately 60% of roof support piles showing damage, compromised roof covering, and structural integrity concerns.

There are no explicit minority or women-owned business enterprise (MBE/WBE) participation requirements, though the City encourages utilizing minority- and women-owned businesses as subcontractors. Two vendors, Johnstons and NAMO, have already submitted bids with total prices of $493,761 and $977,000 respectively. The City reserves the right to negotiate with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder if submitted bids exceed available project funds. A performance bond equal to 100% of the contract amount will be required from the selected contractor. The estimated budget range appears to be between $500,000 and $1,000,000, based on the submitted bid tabulations. No incumbent vendor is specifically identified, and the project represents a comprehensive rehabilitation of the marina's L-Dock infrastructure to restore structural integrity and functionality.
