Road & Bridge Storage Building

Bannock County is seeking sealed bids for a Road & Bridge Storage Building project, located at 5500 S 5th Avenue in Pocatello, Idaho. The procurement involves constructing a 12,000 square foot storage facility featuring four enclosed storage bays and eight open storage bays, with specific architectural requirements including a three-sided pole barn measuring 300 feet by 40 feet and standing 16 feet tall. The building must include 6-inch concrete flooring, four bay doors, two man doors, bollards, a 2/12 pitch roof capable of supporting a 40 lbs. snow load, and a vapor barrier. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 22, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., with potential contractors required to pre-register via email by October 20, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time. Bid submissions are due by November 5, 2025, at 11:30 p.m., with an anticipated contract award date of November 13, 2025, and the contract term extending through December 31, 2026. Contractors must hold a valid Idaho Public Works License and will be evaluated based on compliance with bidding procedures and project specifications, with the contract awarded to the lowest qualified bidder.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors will be required to provide a performance and payment bond covering 100% of the total project value. The geotechnical report from Xcell Engineering indicates the site consists of sandy gravel fill with medium dense soil conditions, and Bannock County will provide a clear, level building site with required gravel. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, the project involves significant infrastructure development for county road and bridge operations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing contractors, and the solicitation appears to be focused on new construction of a storage facility to meet county infrastructure needs. Potential bidders should carefully review all project specifications and be prepared to meet the technical and administrative requirements outlined in the Invitation to Bid.
