The Barn Exterior Deck and Ramp Installation Rebid

The Village of Schaumburg, Illinois is seeking qualifications for the Barn Exterior Deck and Ramp Installation Rebid (Contract #2024-RFQ-001), a construction project located at 231 S Civic Drive. The procurement involves replacing an existing small deck and stairs on the south side of The Barn facility, which serves as a Senior and Teen Center, with a comprehensive new deck and accessible ramp system. The project scope encompasses selective demolition, excavation, concrete foundation installation, wood structural framing, composite decking, baluster and handrail installation, roofing, downspouts, gutters, painting, and landscape restoration. Proposers must submit qualifications electronically through the Village's OpenGov e-Procurement Portal by February 9, 2024, at 10:00 am, with a pre-qualification meeting scheduled for January 24, 2024, at 10:00 am. The evaluation will be points-based, allocating 15% to firm organization and experience, 15% to project understanding, and 70% to cost, with the Village reserving the right to reject any or all proposals.

The procurement encourages participation from minority and women-owned business enterprises (MBE/WBE), with contractors required to provide HUD Form 2516 documenting minority business activity. The project is funded through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which mandates compliance with federal labor standards, including Davis-Bacon wage requirements and Executive Orders 14026 and 13658. Contractors must maintain extensive insurance coverage, including comprehensive general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and umbrella coverage, with the Village named as an additional insured. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project has a substantial completion date of June 15, 2024, with liquidated damages of $550 per day for each calendar day beyond the specified completion date. The solicitation includes both a base bid for treated lumber construction and an alternate bid for composite materials, providing flexibility in proposal submissions and potential cost considerations.
