Sheriff's Office Exterior Building Remediation

Winnebago County is seeking proposals for the Sheriff's Office Exterior Building Remediation project, a comprehensive construction and renovation initiative targeting the county jail's exterior building envelope. The procurement is a formal competitive bid process with proposals due by October 8, 2025, following the initial posting on September 11, 2025. The scope of work includes general remediation of exterior building concerns, specifically involving replacing exterior doors, removing surface rust, repairing door frames, installing new vents, addressing damaged mortar, and installing new detention glazing. Contractors must submit detailed documentation, including a Subcontractor List form structured according to Wisconsin Statutes Section 66.0901(7), and may be required to complete a Substitution Request Form if proposing alternative products. The project requires precise architectural compliance, with contractors expected to verify existing conditions, coordinate with county facilities management, and ensure comprehensive safety protocols throughout the remediation process.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. While the attached documents do not specify a precise budget range, the comprehensive nature of the project and the detailed technical specifications suggest a significant capital investment. The project involves complex technical requirements, including installing 1" thick, translucent, 60-minute attack-rated glazing and potentially reconnecting a previously disconnected lightning protection system. Prospective bidders must demonstrate technical expertise in exterior building envelope restoration, detention facility construction, and compliance with stringent architectural specifications. Contractors will need to provide comprehensive documentation, including a list of recent projects using proposed materials and detailed substitution rationales if requesting product alternatives. The procurement appears to be open to qualified construction firms with demonstrated experience in specialized municipal and correctional facility renovation work.
