Prince Edward County, VA Animal Shelter

Prince Edward County, Virginia is soliciting bids under Bid Request No. 2026-10-15 for construction of a new 4,233-square-foot animal shelter, an uncovered sallyport, staff and public parking, and associated site improvements, with bids due November 17, 2026. Addendum 1 mandates single-source procurement of each door hardware type, which is the decisive filter for bidders.

Addendum 1, issued October 23, 2026 by Moseley Designs architects, adds Section 087100 covering mechanical and electrified door hardware: cylindrical locks, exit devices, door closers, continuous hinges, thresholds, and electronic access control components. Suppliers must have a minimum of five years of documented experience, and hardware schedules must be prepared by DHI-certified Architectural Hardware Consultants. The schedule spans nineteen hardware groups, requires factory-registered keying with patented high-security cylinders, and requires coordination with Division 28 for electrified hardware power and access control. Fire-rated and smoke-control assemblies must comply with NFPA, ANSI, and UL standards, and all hardware must meet ADA accessibility requirements. Warranties range from three years for electrical devices to thirty years for certain LCN closer series.

The base scope, defined in the bid set drawings and specifications, covers architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and site work. Addendum 1 revises multiple existing architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical drawings effective October 22, 2026. Submittals include product data, riser diagrams, certified-consultant hardware schedules, and post-installation wiring documentation. Closeout requires operations and maintenance data, as-installed hardware schedules, keying information, and warranties. The pre-bid conference was held October 20, 2026, and attendance documentation is posted on the project website.
