The State of Delaware, Division of Facilities Management, is requesting proposals for the JP Court 4 Lobby Expansion project with proposals due July 9, 2026. Project plans are restricted to qualified vendors and available exclusively through Davis, Bowen & Friedel, Inc. (1 Park Avenue, Milford, Delaware 19963; telephone 302-424-1441; email mpb@dbfinc.com) under a public-safety exemption certified under Delaware Code Title 29, Section 10002(o)(17)(a).

The scope encompasses demolition of the existing concrete sidewalk, entry canopy, brick veneer, roofing materials, dormers, toilet rooms, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, followed by construction of a new 900-square-foot addition.

Non-registered apprentices must be paid the mechanic's rate. Seven contractors and individuals are listed on the debarment roster and are prohibited from bidding on public construction contracts in Delaware for three years or indefinitely due to prevailing wage violations or other statutory violations.
