Parkland Library Storm Replacement Project

Pierce County Library System is requesting bids for removal and replacement of the stormwater system at Parkland Library, including bioretention facility, storm drainage inlet, conveyance piping, pump station, and associated parking-lot reconfiguration with asphalt, concrete, ADA stalls, and landscaping at 13718 Pacific Ave. S, Tacoma, Washington, with sealed bids due October 28, 2026, at 2:00 PM PST via Bonfire.

The mandatory site visit is October 14, 2026, at 10:00 AM PST. Questions and substitution requests were due October 21, 2026, at 5:00 PM PST, with Library responses due October 23. All work shall comply with applicable federal, state, and local codes. Prevailing wage requirements under RCW 39.12 apply; the contractor must ensure that a minimum of 15 percent of total labor hours are performed by registered apprentices under Washington State-approved apprenticeship programs. Pierce County Library System encourages qualified proposals from minority- and women-owned businesses but does not impose a set-aside or participation goal.

The estimated base bid range is $750,000 to $830,000. The contractor must submit a bid guarantee of 5 percent of the base bid as a bid bond. A 5 percent retainage will be withheld from all payments and may be held in a Library-managed fund, interest-bearing account, or escrow. The contractor must secure commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, automotive liability of $1,000,000, and umbrella/excess liability of $5,000,000.

Substantial Completion is required within 120 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with Final Completion within 14 additional calendar days. Work hours are Monday through Sunday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, unless coordinated with the Library. Liquidated damages are $500 per day for delays beyond the 120-day contract time. Notice of Intent to Award is estimated for November 6, 2026, and Notice of Award by November 13. The overall project period of performance is 20 months from Notice to Proceed. The contractor is responsible for obtaining all permits except the General Building Permit, Electrical Plan Review fee, and utility hook-up fees for storm, sewer, and electrical connections, which the Owner will obtain.
