Kolf Indoor Track Repair

The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is seeking qualified contractors to perform indoor track repair services at the Kolf Field House located in Winnebago County, Wisconsin. The procurement is a Request for Bid (RFB) targeting comprehensive track surface restoration to meet or exceed standards set by NCAA, WIAC, and WIAA. Specific scope of work includes patching the track surface and addressing areas where the track can no longer support starting blocks across eight lanes and batting practice areas. Bidders must demonstrate five years of experience in track repair services and provide three client references from comparable institutions served within the past three years. The mandatory site visit is scheduled for November 13, 2023, at 1:00 p.m., with written questions due by the same date. Formal bids are due on November 21, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. CST/CDT, with the desired project completion date of December 1, 2023. Award will be made to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder based on net total cost, with contractors required to submit two hard copies of completed bids including a signed original and all required forms.

Contractors must maintain specific insurance requirements, including worker's compensation and commercial general liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, with the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System named as an additional insured. A minimum one-year warranty is required on all items and parts. The contract includes strict compliance requirements with Wisconsin nondiscrimination and affirmative action regulations, and all contractors must conduct criminal background checks on personnel prior to commencing work. All services must be performed within the United States. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the bid emphasizes compliance with state-level diversity and inclusion standards. Prices must remain firm for one year from the contract signing date, and the initial contract term extends from the completion date through one year after the award date. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive repair requirements suggest a substantial investment in restoring the indoor track facility to meet competitive athletic standards.
