Repair and Paint Ellis Porter Riverside Pool

The City of Jefferson, Missouri, through its Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department, is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive repair and painting project for the Ellis Porter Riverside Pool located at 320 Ellis Porter Drive in Jefferson City. The project involves extensive pool surface restoration, including sandblasting, concrete damage removal, applying hydraulic cement and epoxy patches, pressure washing, and applying multiple coats of Tnemec Series 161 epoxy paint to the entire pool surface, swim lanes, safety stripes, and bullnose on stairs. Bidders must specify the number of days required to complete the work, with a firm deadline of April 15, 2026. Sealed bids are due by 1:30 p.m. on December 11, 2025, and can be submitted electronically via Bonfire or as hard copies to the City of Jefferson Purchasing Division. Potential bidders can arrange site visits by contacting Josh Werdehausen at 573-634-6533, and the project will be evaluated based on the lowest and best bid meeting the city's needs. Required bid submissions include pricing forms, warranty information, repair plans, subcontractor lists, three project references, E-Verify compliance documentation, and an Anti-Collusion Statement.

The contract has specific requirements for participating businesses, including mandatory enrollment in a federal work authorization program like E-Verify for any business entity providing services exceeding $5,000. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance, including workers' compensation, public liability insurance of $3,500,000 per occurrence and $500,000 per person, property damage insurance, and automobile liability insurance. For contracts exceeding $75,000, prevailing wage requirements from the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations will apply. The City of Jefferson is tax-exempt, and bidders should not include taxes in their proposals. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned, the bid documents emphasize compliance with federal work authorization programs and comprehensive insurance requirements. The project appears to be a lump-sum contract with costs covering all supplies, equipment, and labor, delivered FOB to Jefferson City. Though a specific budget range was not disclosed, the detailed insurance and compliance requirements suggest a substantial project value.
