RIARNG Renovations for EMA and the 110th Public Affairs Detachment

The Rhode Island Division of Purchases is requesting quotations on behalf of the Rhode Island Army National Guard for renovation of four interior spaces at the Schofield Armory in Cranston under RFQ26006607, with proposals due July 28, 2026 at 1:00 PM EDT. A 15% minority and women business enterprise participation goal applies to the project.

The scope encompasses selective demolition, limited roofing repair and integration, contract finishes, and supporting mechanical, electrical, and networking installations, plus incidental related work. Bidders must submit a single base bid price for all renovation work and include a 5% bid surety bond or certified check. General contractors must hold valid Rhode Island registration certificates and comply with prevailing wage requirements under R.I. Gen. Laws 37-13-1 et seq.

Construction is estimated to begin approximately September 2026 (30 days after purchase order receipt), with substantial completion targeted at 7 months from start and final completion 60 days thereafter. Liquidated damages are assessed at $400 per day for delays beyond the substantial completion date.

Prior to award, the successful vendor must provide 100% payment and performance bonds and maintain general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation of $100,000 each accident, and automobile liability of $1 million each occurrence. Contract administrative fees of 0.33% of total contract value will be withheld from invoices in accordance with R.I. Gen. Laws 37-2-12(b).

A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 8, 2026 at 10:00 AM at the Schofield Armory, 780 New London Avenue, Cranston.
