ITB 25-02 North Campus Site Improvements

Temple College is soliciting sealed bids for the ITB 25-02 North Campus Site Improvements project through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) process. The procurement covers comprehensive site improvements at the North Campus, including parking lot reconstruction, pavement preservation, sidewalk removal and replacement, concrete slab lifting, SWPPP installations, and traffic control. The project is divided into three primary components: North Parking Lot Improvements, Pedestrian Bridge Improvements, and Watson Technical Center Pedestrian Improvements. Sealed bids will be received until 2:00 PM on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for Tuesday, June 3, 2025. Bidders are required to submit a bid bond or cashier's check for 5% of their bid amount, and the contract stipulates a 60-working-day completion timeline from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for delays beyond the specified completion time. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, with Temple College reserving the right to accept or reject any submitted bids.

Bidding documents are available for a non-refundable fee of $100 per set or can be viewed online at www.civcastusa.com at no charge. While the provided documentation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, the bid manual suggests an open competitive bidding process. The project will be funded by Temple College, with the total contract amount to be determined based on the selected bid and potential alternate bid items. Bidders will need to provide unit prices for various construction activities, including mobilization, traffic safety implementation, excavation, concrete work, base material placement, and pavement installation. The comprehensive nature of the project suggests that contractors should have significant experience in campus infrastructure improvements, site work, and complex construction projects involving multiple interconnected improvement areas.
