This project requires that bidders prove three examples of prior experience with projects or similar size and complexity and attend a mandatory pre-bid walk-through tour at 4:00 PM on December 1, 2010.

Stevensville Public Schools is soliciting sealed bids for demolition and complete removal of two existing buildings, and associated site work. The work includes completely removing the existing 1901 Junior High School and attached 1937 Multipurpose Facility in February 2011 and completely removing the existing 4-6 Classroom Building in May 2011 and other associated work.

Beginning at noon on November 18, 2010 packets may be obtained from Pat Pfau at the Stevensville School District Offices at 300 Park Avenue, Stevensville MT 59870, by phone at 406-777-5481 ext. 136, or by e-mail at pfaup@stevensville.k12.mt.us. No plan deposit will be required. A non-refundable shipping and handling fee of $15.00 will be required for bidders who request that the plans be shipped to them by UPS or FedEx. The shipping and handling fee must be received prior to bid packets being sent.

This project utilizes the Construction Manager at Risk method, and Swank Enterprises of Kalispell has previously been selected as the Construction Manager. This project will be offered with two bidding options. Bidders who can provide the required bid and performance securities may bid directly to the School District. Bidders who elect not to provide the required security documents may bid to Swank Enterprises as a subcontractor as outlined below. Scott Bruner, the project manager at Swank Enterprises may be contacted at 406-752-5411 or by e-mail at scott@swankenterprises.com for further information. The demolition subcontract, regardless of bidding method, will be under Swank Enterprises as the Construction Manager at Risk.

To be considered, sealed bids must be physically received no later than 4:00 PM local time on December 09, 2010 at any of the Stevensville School District offices (elementary school, junior high school, high school, or district office). Faxed or electronic bids will be not accepted. Bidders who elect to bid as subcontractors to Swank Enterprises must coordinate and complete a separate private bidding process with Swank prior to the public bid opening. If your bid is responsive, Swank will submit your number with Swank’s bid with appropriate additional costs for bonding figured in. All bids made to the School District will be publicly opened, read aloud, and taken under consideration. No awards will be made at the bid opening. Bids must be honored for a period of 30 days after the bid opening. A bid tabulation will be made available immediately after the bid opening, including a tabulation of those bids made to Swank. Award will be made to one contractor for all work based on the combined total price.

To be considered, bidders must provide valid information and contactable references regarding a minimum of three projects of similar scale and complexity which have been successfully completed within the past 5 years. Bidders who cannot, or do not, provide this information may have their bids disqualified.

As required by State Law, bids submitted to the School District, including any submitted by Swank, must be accompanied by a 10% bid security in an approved form. The successful bidder must provide a performance and payment bond in the amount of 100% of the contract amount as a condition of a successful contract execution. All workers who provide on-site labor must be paid no less than the State of Montana Prevailing Wages or the current Federal Davis-Bacon Wages, whichever is greater. Wage rates, effective at the time the original work started at the Stevensville School projects, are included in the bid packets. Certified payroll records will be required from all contractors and subcontractors. This project is subject to the Montana State 1% Gross Receipts Tax. Successful bidders must possess a valid State of Montana Contractor Registration and be able to provide insurance coverage in the types and amounts shown in the bid packet.

Successful bidders shall give employment preference to bona-fide residents of Montana. A Montana resident bidder will be allowed preference against the bid of a non-resident bidder from any state or county that enforces a preference for resident bidders. Contractors shall comply with the Rules of On-Site Conduct included in the project manual. Background checks will be required for all persons providing on site services. The Stevensville Elementary School District reserves the right to reject all bids, reject individual non-responsive bids, or award the bid to the lowest responsible bidder.
