Public Safety Building Fuel Island Replacement Rebid

Kenosha County, Wisconsin is soliciting bids for a comprehensive Public Safety Building Fuel Island Replacement project through Request for Bid #2502. The procurement involves replacing the existing fuel island and canopy located at 1000 55th Street in Kenosha, which includes installing new underground fuel storage infrastructure with two 10,000-gallon unleaded tanks and one 5,000-gallon diesel tank. The base bid requires a 25'-0" x 25'-0" canopy, with an alternate option to expand to 32'-0" x 25'-0", and includes complete demolition of existing fuel infrastructure, installation of new fuel dispensers, concrete islands, lighting, electrical systems, and fuel management integration. Bidders must have a minimum of five years of experience in fuel island replacement and provide three references from similar projects completed within the past five years. Key deadlines include a pre-bid conference on January 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM, vendor responsibility form submission by January 24, 2025, at 5:00 PM, and bid submissions due January 29, 2025, at 3:15 PM. Evaluation criteria include technical capabilities, project experience, and compliance with detailed specifications outlined in the bid documents.

The contract does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond with their proposal and provide a 100% payment and performance bond within 10 business days of award. Contractors are required to maintain specific insurance coverages, including $1 million commercial general liability, $1 million automobile liability, $1 million excess/umbrella liability, and workers' compensation coverage. The existing fuel management system will be reused, with the contractor responsible for programming and setup. Progress payments will be made monthly with 5% retainage until 50% project completion, and the estimated contract award date is February 28, 2025, with work to begin immediately upon award. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project involving underground tank replacement, fuel dispensers, electrical work, and a new canopy suggests a significant capital investment for Kenosha County.
