Sidewalk improvement/granby hall ADA RAM

Midlands Technical College (MTC) in Richland County, South Carolina, is soliciting bids for a sidewalk improvement and ADA ramp project at Granby Hall located on the Airport Campus. The procurement seeks materials and labor for constructing an ADA-compliant ramp, with separate pricing required for materials (Lot 0001) and labor costs (Lot 0002). Bidders must submit electronic proposals through the South Carolina procurement website by December 8, 2020, at 11:00 a.m., with site visits available by appointment before November 23, 2020. Key deliverables include a comprehensive project completion within 90 calendar days, submission of shop drawings, progress schedules, record documents, and as-built drawings accurate within one inch. Contractors must adhere to strict campus operational requirements, including work hour limitations (7:00 AM to 5:00 PM), waste disposal protocols, and safety regulations. Evaluation will focus on lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with potential consideration of state vendor preferences and compliance with technical specifications outlined in the Division 1 General Requirements document.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does include provisions for resident vendor and contractor preferences. Bidders must register as state vendors and carry comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence, along with auto liability and workers' compensation coverage. The project budget ranges from $30,000 to $70,000, with a bid bond required for submissions equaling or exceeding $50,000. Liquidated damages are set at $150 per calendar day if the construction time exceeds the specified contract time for substantial completion. Nonresident contractors will be subject to South Carolina income tax withholding requirements unless they register with the Department of Revenue or Secretary of State. The contract requires a one-year warranty from the date of substantial completion, and the contractor must provide operating and maintenance instructions to owner personnel prior to project completion.
