William Monroe High School Field House Repair

Greene County Public Schools (GCPS) in Virginia is seeking bids for a structural repair project at William Monroe High School's Field House, specifically focusing on reinforcing a concrete masonry unit (CMU) bearing wall on the plan's north side. The project aims to address structural damage caused by lateral earth pressures, hydraulic loads, and axial loading, which were identified in a condition assessment report from February 10, 2025. The repair work involves extensive masonry reinforcement, including installing #7 bars at 32" on center, fully grouting cells below grade, and following a prescribed 8-step repair process from excavation through backfilling. Bids must be submitted electronically through the eVA procurement platform by February 28, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. local time. Potential bidders were allowed to submit questions via email to Michael Kozuch until February 21, 2025, at 12:00 p.m., and in lieu of a pre-bid conference, all project details were provided in the technical specifications. The project requires compliance with the 2021 Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (VUSBC) and includes specific design parameters such as a 100 psf gym floor load, 20 psf roof load, 30 psf ground snow load, and 110 mph ultimate wind speed.

The procurement includes a significant small business subcontracting requirement, with a Commonwealth goal that 42% of purchases be made from DSBSD-certified small businesses. Contractors must obtain a Greene County Business License and any necessary building permits, with these costs to be included in the bid price. Insurance requirements are substantial, including workers' compensation, employer's liability ($100,000), commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate), and automobile liability ($1,000,000). The contract will be awarded on a lump sum basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the project targeting completion by February 7, 2025. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation, the comprehensive technical specifications and extensive repair requirements suggest a significant investment in restoring the field house's structural integrity. The procurement is specifically targeted at professional contractors with expertise in structural engineering, masonry repair, and municipal school facility renovations.
