Kenosha County Detention Center Admin Parking Lot

Kenosha County, Wisconsin is soliciting bids for the rehabilitation of the administrative parking lot at the Kenosha County Detention Center, located at 4777 88th Avenue. The project involves comprehensive parking lot improvements, including milling and overlaying 33,000 square feet of existing asphalt pavement to a 4-inch depth, replacing sidewalks and curb ramps to meet ADA requirements, installing new curb and gutter, replacing 8 feet of storm sewer pipe, and adding painted pavement markings. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 18, 2024, with sealed bids due by 1:00 PM on October 1, 2024. The county intends to award the contract by October 8, 2024, with an expectation of substantial project completion by November 22, 2024. Bidders must submit a lump sum bid, provide references, qualifications, a bid bond, and proof of appropriate insurance coverage. The county reserves the right to award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder and may reject any or all bids.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Bidders are required to complete a Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire, which must be submitted five days prior to the bid due date to demonstrate qualifications for performing county contracts. The questionnaire requires detailed information about the business entity, including project history, certifications, licenses, legal history, financial capacity, and organizational structure. While specific budget details are not explicitly outlined, the comprehensive nature of the parking lot rehabilitation suggests a significant capital investment. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability in asphalt paving, ADA-compliant infrastructure construction, storm sewer replacement, and pavement marking. The project requires careful coordination with the detention center's ongoing operations, as the owner will occupy the premises during construction, necessitating minimal disruption to facility functions.
