Joseph W. Luter, Jr. Sports Complex Football Concession Building

Isle of Wight County, Virginia is seeking bids for the construction of a two-story football concession building at the Joseph W. Luter, Jr. Sports Complex through an Invitation for Bids (IFB24-001-LuterFootballConcession). The project involves constructing a 1,232 square foot brick and wood-framed building that will include concession areas, bathrooms, offices, and meeting spaces. The building will feature a standing seam metal roof and is classified as a Type V-B combustible construction with no fire sprinkler requirements. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held on March 4, 2024, and bids are due by 2:00 PM on April 4, 2024, with a public bid opening at 2:30 PM the same day. The project requires a 5% bid security, and the successful contractor must provide 100% performance and payment bonds. The contract stipulates substantial completion within 150 days of the contract start date, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for any delays. Bidders must demonstrate the capability to construct the building according to the detailed architectural and civil site plans prepared by Kimley-Horn and James River Architects.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The Town of Smithfield and Isle of Wight County will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, reserving the right to waive minor informalities or reject any or all bids. While specific budget details are not provided, the project will be funded by Isle of Wight County. The architectural plans indicate the building will include mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, with the general contractor responsible for coordinating all aspects of construction. The building will meet accessibility standards and include specific material requirements such as asphalt shingles, aluminum windows, hollow metal doors, and gypsum wall board. No information was provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that requires integration. The project appears to be a new construction initiative to enhance facilities at the Joseph W. Luter, Jr. Sports Complex.
