Invitation to Bid Parking Lot Rehabilitation (3)

The City of Bloomington, Indiana, through its Board of Public Works, is seeking sealed bids for a Parking Lot Rehabilitation project involving three distinct parking lots located at 4th & Dunn (Lot 1), 4th & Washington (Lot 3), and 6th & Lincoln (Lot 5). The project encompasses comprehensive rehabilitation services including milling, surface material application, ADA compliance modifications, meter pole installation and removal, bumper block replacement, signage straightening, re-striping, curb capping, and debris removal. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a completed State Form 96, Non-Collusion Affidavit, E-Verify Affidavit, and contract compliance certification. Key submission deadlines include a question submission cut-off on December 1, 2025 at 12:00 p.m., with responses due by December 5, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. Sealed bids must be electronically submitted through the OpenGov e-Procurement Portal by December 15, 2025 at 12:00 p.m., with a public bid opening on the same date. The project is scheduled to commence on June 1, 2026, with a required completion timeline of 45 calendar days, weather permitting.

The procurement opportunity includes several set-aside and compliance requirements that potential bidders must meet. Contractors must comply with the City of Bloomington's Living Wage Ordinance, which requires a 2026 wage rate of $16.66 per hour, with up to 15 percent potentially provided through health insurance contributions. For bids exceeding $150,000, contractors must submit a written employee drug testing program plan compliant with Indiana Code. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price are mandatory for contracts of $200,000 or more, with a one-year maintenance period after final acceptance. The city requires strict compliance with federal equal employment opportunity laws, anti-discrimination regulations, and the Bloomington Human Rights Ordinance. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves rehabilitation of approximately 63,650 square feet of parking lot area across three locations, suggesting a substantial investment. Bidders must also demonstrate compliance with Indiana Department of Transportation Specifications, environmental regulations, and erosion control requirements, with the Board of Public Works reserving the right to accept or reject any or all bids.
