IFB B24002 Parking Lot Repairs

HomeFront of Billings, Montana is seeking bids for a comprehensive parking lot repair project in Yellowstone County through Invitation for Bid (IFB B24002). The project encompasses three distinct bid items: Eagles Nest Subdivision Parking Lots, Woody Subdivision Parking Lots, and Scattered Southside Parking Lots, with contractors able to bid on one, multiple, or all items. Specific deliverables include pavement repairs involving dig-outs, crack sealing, Type 2 slurry sealing, parking block resetting, and re-striping across multiple locations with varying quantities of work. Contractors must have a current Montana Public Contractor's License and follow Montana Public Works Standard Specifications (6th Edition) and City of Billings Standard Modifications. A mandatory pre-bid walk-through is scheduled for Monday, April 15, 2024, from 9:30 a.m. to Noon at 220-226 Westchester Sq. S. in Billings, with bid submissions due by 11:00 a.m. on Friday, April 24, 2024. Evaluation will focus on lowest responsible bid that best serves HomeFront's interests, with bidders required to submit 10% bid security.

The procurement encourages minority participation and includes Section 3 requirements, giving preference to Montana residents. Contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon wage rates and provide performance and labor & material payment bonds, each equal to 100% of the contract amount. The bonding company must be on the Federal Treasury listing, and successful bidders will need to provide comprehensive insurance certificates. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly detailed, the bid documents emphasize equal opportunity employment. The project allows for two alternates: Alternate #1 for Woody Subdivision involves milling and overlaying the drive aisle, and Alternate #2 for Scattered Southside involves milling and overlaying the drive lane between parking stalls. Though precise budget ranges are not specified, the project involves multiple locations with varying repair scopes, suggesting potential flexibility in contract value. HomeFront reserves the right to reject any or all bids and maintain bid guarantees for thirty days.
