Beaverton School District 48J is seeking a General Contractor through Invitation to Bid (ITB 24-0022) for a renovation project at Highland Park Middle School, located in Washington County, Oregon. The procurement involves creating a new conference room and replacing an existing folding partition with a solid wall, which includes limited demolition, new electrical work, redirected HVAC, and new flooring. The project requires a contractor capable of executing precise construction modifications within a specific timeframe, with all work mandated to be completed during the summer break of 2025, with initial work availability beginning June 16, 2025. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for February 27, 2025, at 8:00 AM on-site, with bids due on March 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. First-Tier Subcontractor Disclosure Forms are required by 4:00 PM the same day, and the anticipated Notice of Intent to Award is March 17, 2025, with expected contract execution around April 9, 2025. Bidders must provide 5% bid security and demonstrate compliance with prevailing wage requirements under Oregon Revised Statutes.

The district has established a goal of fifteen percent participation from Disadvantaged, Minority, Women, Emerging, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises (DMWESBSDVBE). Contractors must be registered with the Construction Contractors Board and provide a $30,000 Public Works Bond. The project will include performance, payment, and retention bonds, with a 5% retention requirement and potential liquidated damages of $500 per day for substantial completion delays. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, contractors will need to provide comprehensive proposals that address the technical specifications outlined in the attached architectural drawings and project documents. The procurement appears open to qualified general contractors with experience in school renovation projects, particularly those capable of meeting the district's technical requirements and tight summer construction schedule. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate technical proficiency, financial stability, and the ability to integrate new construction elements within an existing educational facility infrastructure.
