Vault Toilet Building at Petrifying Springs Golf Course

Kenosha County, Wisconsin is seeking bids for the purchase and installation of a precast concrete vault toilet building at Petrifying Springs Golf Course, located at 4909 7th Street in Kenosha. The procurement involves acquiring a unisex, ADA-compliant vault toilet with a minimum 1,000-gallon capacity, featuring a single door entry, single riser, front porch entrance, and L-shaped exterior wall with a roof extension. The building must meet stringent structural specifications, including the ability to withstand a 350-pound-per-square-foot snow load, 400-pound-per-square-foot floor load, 150-mile-per-hour wind exposure, and seismic design category E earthquakes. Bidders must have at least five years of experience in providing and installing precast concrete vault toilets and submit references from three firms for similar services completed within the past five years. The bid submission deadline is May 8, 2024, at 3:00 PM, with the final date for submitting questions being April 24, 2024, and an anticipated addendum posting on May 1, 2024. The County will evaluate bids based on the lowest total cost from a responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with an estimated contract award date of May 15, 2024.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to submit a comprehensive bid package, including a Signature and Authority Affidavit Form, References Sheet, Bid Offer Form, Ethics Compliance Addendum, and a bid bond equal to five percent of the total bid price. The successful contractor must provide a Payment and Performance Bond for 100 percent of the total contract price and maintain extensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence in commercial general liability, automobile liability, and excess/umbrella liability, along with statutory workers compensation. The County will provide site excavation, leveling material, backfill, and grading, while the contractor is responsible for delivery, crane operations, leveling, setting, and connections of the prefab building. The contractor must also provide a one-year warranty for defective workmanship and product replacement. While no specific budget range is mentioned, the comprehensive requirements and specifications suggest this is a significant infrastructure project for the County's golf course facility.
