New Construction of Archive Building at D10

The West Virginia Department of Administration Purchasing Division, on behalf of the West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) District Ten in Mercer County, is soliciting bids for the new construction of a pre-engineered metal archive building located at 270 Hardwood Lane in Princeton, WV. The project requires constructing a 40' x 60' x 12' rigid frame, gable-style building with specific technical requirements, including a foundation, insulated walls and roof, various doors and windows, and utility connections. Contractors must possess a valid WV Contractor's License and comply with state regulations, including a drug-free workplace policy and local labor market hiring requirements. The solicitation mandates a pre-bid meeting on October 15, 2025, at 9:00am EST, with all vendor questions due by October 22, 2025, at 3:00pm EST. The bid opening is scheduled for November 4, 2025, at 1:30pm EST, with an initial contract term of 45 days. The contract will be awarded to the lowest qualified responsible bidder meeting the required specifications, which include compliance with 2021 IBC Code standards and design requirements to withstand 20 psf live load, 20 psf ground snow, and 110 mph wind speeds.

Insurance requirements for this project include Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability, each with a minimum coverage of $1,000,000. The project is funded through state appropriations, with the contract contingent on available funding. Vendors must comply with additional procurement regulations, including provisions for subcontractor listings, Davis-Bacon wage rates, and preferences for domestic steel and aluminum products. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, contractors must adhere to detailed technical specifications, such as using aluminum-coated steel roof panels, specific door and window configurations, and employing a WV registered professional engineer to prepare foundation and floor slab designs. The project involves constructing a metal building with specific architectural elements, including a 36" steel entrance door, a 72" double storefront style door, a 9' x 8' insulated roll-up garage door with electric opener, and windows matching the district headquarters building style. Although the exact project budget is not specified in the documents, the procurement suggests a focus on precise construction requirements and compliance with state-level procurement standards.
