Jordan Park Dam Repair

Portage County, Wisconsin is seeking bids for the Jordan Park Dam Repair project through its Purchasing Department, with proposals due by 11:00 AM on March 4, 2021. The procurement is a construction contract focusing on comprehensive concrete repair and rehabilitation of the Jordan Park Dam, involving critical infrastructure improvements. Specific work elements include concrete crack repairs, concrete overlay repairs to abutment walls and spillway structures, replacement of timber stoplogs, and potential replacement of auxiliary spillway gates with stainless steel vertical slide gates. Estimated quantities include 10 cubic yards of heavy riprap, 224 square feet of 9-inch concrete abutment wall overlay, 254 square feet of 6-inch spillway concrete overlay, and 100 linear feet each of structural and non-structural crack repairs. The project requires substantial completion by October 1, 2021, and final completion by October 15, 2021, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for substantial completion delays and $1,000 per day for final completion delays. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder as determined by Portage County.

The contract is subject to prevailing wage requirements under the federal Davis-Bacon Act and Wisconsin wage rates. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds equal to the contract price and carry comprehensive insurance including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, and builder's risk coverage. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the project is funded through a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources municipal dam grant program and is subject to DNR plan approval conditions issued February 2, 2021. The contract is structured as a stipulated price agreement with unit price components, and retainage will follow Wisconsin Statutes Section 66.0901(9)(b), limiting retainage to 5 percent until 50 percent completion. The work will be governed by Wisconsin Department of Transportation Standard Specifications and EJCDC General Conditions (2013), with specific supplementary conditions addressing concrete repair standards, slide gate specifications, masonry mortaring, and traffic control requirements. No specific budget range is provided in the documentation, but the comprehensive scope suggests a significant infrastructure investment.
