The project is subject to prevailing wage requirements under RCW 39.12 for Grays Harbor County, a mandatory compliance threshold.

The scope includes removal, disposal, replacement, and installation of approximately six windows measuring 66.5 by 112.5 inches and one bathroom window measuring 48.5 by 66.5 inches at 5120 Wynoochee Valley Road, Montesano, Washington. The specification requires US Aluminum IT451 thermal aluminum framing with 1-inch insulated glazing, continuous sub-sills, and hopper vents with screens. Bidders must submit shop drawings, product data, hardware schedules, glazing specifications, and manufacturer installation requirements for City approval before fabrication.

The total project estimate is $44,000. Bid items consist of lump-sum pricing for mobilization and demobilization, window removal and installation, and a City-established fixed allowance of $6,000 for unforeseen conditions. Sales tax at 8.8% will be calculated on the total bid price. Work must be completed by December 31, 2026. Bidders must provide payment and performance bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract total, maintain a three-year labor warranty with manufacturer warranty or one-year minimum on parts, and carry installation floater insurance and commercial general liability insurance with limits of at least $1 million per occurrence.

All bidders must hold current Washington contractor registration, a Washington Unified Business Identifier number, and workers' compensation coverage. Site visits are encouraged by appointment but no pre-bid meeting will be held. The City will evaluate proposals beyond price, considering product quality, warranty terms, specification compliance, and bidder responsibility based on experience and past performance. The anticipated award date is August 2026.
