The scope includes deconstruction of two 120-foot and two 180-foot steel lattice structures; removal of concrete foundations, guyed wires, antennas, and associated equipment; and site restoration comprising grading, compaction, seeding, and topsoil replacement. Contractors must secure all necessary federal, state, and local permits, provide utility notification through Virginia 811, and comply with VOSH and OSHA safety regulations. The County waives Building Department permit fees but contractors bear all other permit costs.

Bidders must submit sealed bids with separate line items for each tower location, performance and payment bonds each in the full contract amount, three client references for similar services, proof of valid Virginia contractor licensing, certificate of insurance naming the County as additional insured, and a certification regarding felony convictions for personnel with student contact. Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of tower demolition experience within the past ten years and maintain valid Virginia contractor licenses.

The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through completion within 90 calendar days with no renewal options. The County will award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and will hold 5% retainage from progress payments until project completion and all permits are closed. Contractors provide all equipment and are responsible for site cleanup.

An optional pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 8, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Louisa County Administration Building. Written questions are due September 15, 2026, with formal clarifications issued September 22, 2026.
