Spiker Garage Interior Painting Project

The City of Cheyenne, Wyoming, located in Laramie County, is soliciting bids for the Spiker Garage Interior Painting Project (Bid #S-22-25), a comprehensive interior painting initiative for a municipal parking structure. The project offers three potential bid schedules: painting garage walls only, garage ceilings only, or stairwells and elevator lobbies. Deliverables include complete surface preparation, priming, and painting of concrete walls, CMU blocks, and metal braces using approved Sherwin Williams and Diamond Vogel paint products. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was conducted on April 21, 2025, at 3:00 pm at the Spiker Parking Garage, with electronic bid responses due by May 5, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The project timeline mandates completion of garage walls and ceilings by July 18, 2025, and stairwells and elevator lobby painting by August 29, 2025. The City will evaluate bids based on the lowest responsive bid, with the flexibility to select specific painting components depending on available funding. Bidders must submit a 5% bid guarantee, complete various required forms including a bid bond and non-collusion affidavit, and demonstrate capability to meet technical painting specifications across four parking garage floors.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly designate specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does include provisions for Wyoming labor and materials preferences and potential additional consideration for resident contractors. Bidders must provide performance and payment bonds, submit a list of subcontractors and material suppliers, and demonstrate compliance with insurance requirements, including naming the City of Cheyenne as an additional insured. While a specific total contract value is not directly stated, the City will withhold 5% retainage throughout the contract term and may adjust the project scope to match available funding. Contractors must provide certificates of good standing for workers' and unemployment compensation and coordinate closely with city officials to minimize disruption to parking garage operations. The project requires sophisticated painting skills, with precise technical requirements for surface preparation, primer application, and finish coating across various structural surfaces, suggesting a moderate to complex technical implementation that will require experienced painting contractors familiar with municipal infrastructure projects.
